Dec 4
Posted by : Sabeen Malik in Wordpress

WP Admin Switcher has been updated , please download the latest zip from the link on the right. This version has been tested on WP 2.3.1 If you are getting a file not found error , than it means you dont have the .htaccess rules set for mod_rewrite. WP Admin Switcher wont work without this.

Thanks to all the users sending in feedback to make this plugin better.

Soon i will be updating the plugin to handle blogs with no mod_rewrite (permalinks) .

Keep checking!

Minor But Important Update to Wp Admin Switcher

Aug 25
Posted by : Sabeen Malik in PHP, Wordpress

Thanks to a user , i have just tracked down a minor bug which could cause the plugin to breakdown with certain urls .. please download the zip from the download link provided on top right and update both .php files inside your /wp-content/plugins/wp-admin-switcher/ folder.

WP Admin SwitcherJust finished my first plugin for wordpress called WP Admin Switcher. You can download this plugin here

After you have installed this plugin you will be able to add information of multiple blogs you manage, the plugin will show you a drop down on top of all pages and let you switch between blogs. When you switch the plugin will attempt to show the same page of the other blogs administration panel. This plugin also works with free blogs from wordpress.com.

The plugin requires CURL to be installed with PHP. Also please make sure to set the permission of the folder “tempfiles” to 777. Another point to keep in mind is that when you enter the URL of the administration panel in the WP Admin Switcher management page , please make sure you enter the correct URL. Some blogs are set to force www , so the page will keep redirecting to http://abc.com/wp-admin/ if you enter the URL like this http://www.abc.com/wp-admin/ . So make sure that enter the correct wp-admin URL.

Have Fun!

2nd Sept , 2007 : As someone pointed out there are several blogs out there that dont use mod_rewrite or permalinks , so thus plugin wont work out of the box for them , they need to create a mod_rewrite rule to point to the main index.php for wp-admin/virtual/ requests. If you dont have mod_rewrite available then this plugin is not going to work for you , maybe the next version will make it independent of mod_rewrite.


24th Aug , 2007 : A bug was found which was leading to a breakdown in the plugins functionality , thanks to a user , this has been weeded out.


5th Aug , 2007
: Some adjustments were made to the script based on user feedback, if you are seeing messages which indicates that your request was blocked , please download the plugin again from the link above and see if it helps.
