I’m using WordPress’ default theme Twenty Ten in one of my blogs, but I added some small modifications to suit my needs. One day I saw in WordPress’ admin panel that there was an update for the default theme. What first caught my attention was this: why the hell is there not an option to turn off those fucking annoying notifications?

But then, some days later there was also an update for WordPress itself. So I had two things I could update: WordPress and its default theme Twenty Ten. You’d think that they are different updates and that obviously updating one won’t update the other. It makes sense: you may want to update WordPress code but not the theme. But I wouldn’t be writing this posts if things that make sense were for those dumb, stupid WordPress developers, right?

So when you update WordPress it also updates the default theme. And there is not an option to avoid this. You are not warned. Nothing. You have to also upgrade the fucking theme because the fucking developers decided so. Thank you brilliant minds.

Now, and this is the funny part, when you upgrade WordPress and its default theme… you don’t get an updated theme! That’s right, you still get a notification that an update for WordPress’ default theme is available. Amazing. How dumb can be that?

Thankfully I had a back up of the theme with my small modifications and could restore it, but I wonder how many users have been caught off guard thanks to those dumb developers.

Sí llegan: simplemente iban directos a la carpeta de spam, lo cual demuestra que el plug-in hace su trabajo (mejor que yo, por lo que se ve). Ahora lo que tengo que hacer es dejar de recibir notificaciones en el correo, que ya cansa tanto mensaje por los pingbacks recibidos y aprobados…

It’s not that the plug-in doesn’t work, it’s that it works most than it should: unless there is an option that I missed, it will update your Twitter not only when you publish a new post but every time you edit one too. Maybe some bloggers find this useful but I don’t: sometimes can be good reasons to  your followers ) but what if you just edit a post because you forgot a question mark or mistyped a name?

Wait, it gets worse.

Admiyn Twitter also updates on new comments

Another ‘feature’ of Admiyn Twitter is that it will also update your Twitter status whenever a new comment is added to any of your posts. First of all, I don’t see the need for this feature: really, what’s the point of updating on once and every new comment? This could be nice for a small site with almost no activity -and no followers- or as way to have you informed of new comments, but WordPress already does this, so…

But let’s imagine that you like this ‘feature’ . Again, the plug-in works  more than it should, updating your status on new comments… even if they are not published! That’s right: I received the usual SPAM comments and guess what? Admiyn Twitter updated my status for every new SPAM comment.

Be warned: as of version 1.2, avoid Admiyn Twitter! Unt

Of course, I appreciate the work of Anderson Makiyama and any other person involved in the development of the plug-in, but it has two major flaws that I thought were worth spreading.

El primer intento ha sido fallido. Probemos con uno más…

El segundo, otro tanto de lo mismo.

Desinstalando el plug-in.
