Wordpress Hack – How to Get Simple Tags Plugin Working with Wordpress 2.9!

For those of you who are getting errors with Simple Tags plugin when upgrading to Wordpress 2.9, there’s a simple hack to make it work:

Edit the file simple-tags.php and change the following from this:

if ( strpos($wp_version, ‘2.7′) !== false || strpos($wp_version, ‘2.8′) !== false )

to this:

if ( strpos($wp_version, ‘2.7′) !== false || strpos($wp_version, ‘2.8′) !== false || strpos($wp_version, ‘2.9′) !== false )

I guess it’s because the version numbers were hard-coded, not because the plug-in isn’t compatible with 2.9.
