Introduction
The most recent version of PWA+PHP Pro for Wordpress was released on 2011-04-03 with drastically faster page loads, modern jQuery transition effects and better cross-browser support. Test drive the demo or review the improvements below.
New Features
jQuery Pagination for Images & Albums
Classy, modern jQuery pagination implemented via jQuery Cycle Plugin, providing 28 transition styles. Degrades properly in browsers that don't support javascript.
Faster Page Loads, Way Faster
The code block loop that displays the gallery images has been re-written for speed and users can now cache both image thumbnails and gallery XML locally on the server. Head to the cache system page for examples showing drastic speed improvments.
Better News & Announcements
Added news feed to settings page to communicate updates, known issues, and other important information.
New Shortcode Overrides
Added ability to override the username within shortcode to display any user's public album and albums for different users on each page. See the usage section on the WordPressPluginHelp page.
