CDN Tools Status Update

I apologize to everyone who has been inquiring about when CDN Tools will be updated to add WP 2.8 compatibility. I have been very busy lately and haven’t found the time to get the issues resolved. However, I am still planning to update it so don’t lose hope. In the meantime here are instructions to get CDN Tools working with 2.8 with only one issue that I’m aware of:

  1. Click remove files. This will delete all JS and attachments from your CDN.
  2. Turn on advanced mode and click “load attachments”1

Once you’ve completed these two steps the admin pages should be working properly and your attachments should be loading from the CDN again. Side loading is also functional, although please be aware that deleting items does not work. If you remove an attachment you will need to go to your CDN and manually remove it.

  1. If you click the normal “load files” CDN Tools will attempt to load both attachments and javascript. The javascript load causes numerous issues in WP 2.8 with the admin pages.

CDN Tools Initial Release

I am pleased to announce the initial public release of CDN Tools, my latest WordPress plugin!

What is CDN Tools?

Well, it’s a WordPress plugin that lets you load javascript files and your blog’s media (pictures, movies, audio, et cetera) to a content distribution network (CDN) to speed up page loading. You can load up all your javascript and media with a single click and then your media will be automatically sideloaded to the CDN after that. The plugin will operate totally transparently.

Do I need a CDN account?

No! You can offload prototype and jQuery to Google’s servers with this tool with just a single click. These are large libraries so moving them to Google’s bandwidth is very useful!

What if I want to remove it?

Simply deactivate the plugin and everything will revert to normal. Since CDN Tools only temporarily rewrites the URLs of your uploads, nothing is lost if you choose to stop using it.

If you’ve got a WordPress blog why not give it a shot? Download today! You can also check the version history and get more information at the plugin’s homepage.
