wp plugins

wp users

An useful wp plugin is wp users that allow you to collect subscriptions from the readers of your blog.

It has add-ons such as captcha that, linked with Google captcha, allow you to select humans from robots (and spam).

Be careful however to set v2 rather than v3, both in Google and in your wp plugin settings, otherwise you couldn’t be more able to login.

Avidemux, a good video editor

If you don’t need a sophisticated video editing, but a linear editing one, Avidemux can be still a good option.

However it has not an official updated release (for Ubunutu) since 2022. An alternative to get it updated is flatpack, but with flatpack Avidemux uses a very huge quantity of disk space.

Another good linear video editing app would be Lesslosscut, but it is an app even bigger (and sucking ram) than Avidemux. Not to speak of installation problems with wayland.

So I resolved to:

  • uninstall avidemux flatpack and so free an huge space on disk:
flatpak uninstall org.avidemux.Avidemux
flatpak uninstall --unused
  • download a Nightly automated build and install it. In this way: I unpacked the files and do this command:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

and I fixed missing dependencies

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libqt6core6 libqt6gui6 libqt6widgets6 libqt6network6 libqt6openglwidgets6
sudo apt install libfaac0

sudo apt –fix-broken install

Now I have an updated Avidemux app, with a fair space usage.

Regex in Kate

It could be very difficult using regex in Kate, if you have php files that have still an html (and not php) as content structure.

In this case you can try to use, al filter, not *.php, but *.*.

Moreover it could be necessary to use this regex code for multiline tags :

<style type="text/css">((.|\n)*?)</style>

or

<script type="text/javascript">((.|\n)*?)</script>

and so on.
