Ninja Forms Lite Now Available

We are excited to announce that late last night Ninja Forms Lite was made available in the WordPress Plugin Repository. This is a fully working version of Ninja Forms minus a few more advanced features that have been implemented or that are coming in future releases.

If you want to build great web forms for almost any purpose with an easy drag and drop interface, store the data submitted and export it as needed, and much more, then this is a the perfect WordPress plugin for you.

If this is all you need, look no further but if you are looking for more robust features take a look at Ninja Forms Pro. Think of the lite version as a great opportunity to try before you buy without any real limitations.

We hope you like it.

Ninja Forms v1.2.4 released

We were a little late to the party but we are finally pushing WordPress 3.3 compatibility release out the window. This release also comes with various bug fixes and a lot of streamlining.

If you have already purchased Ninja Forms, log-in and get your copy right away and if not, what are you waiting for?

Another exciting Ninja Forms announcement coming hopefully before the close of Monday. Stay tuned.

We’re back…

OK, so we never actually left and the site wasn’t down for very long. If you’ve been here before you be wondering what changed other than the design is pretty minimalist an there is a lot less content than there used to be. There is a method to our madness.

We have stripped everything down to the bare minimum so that we can start rebuilding with particular goals in mind. What are those goals? To build fantastic WordPress plugins and themes and provide excellent documentation and support for each of them.

We will also be writing tutorials and our thoughts about WordPress and who knows what else. But whatever it is it will be deliberate and focused. Or at least that’s the plan. I’ll be sharing more as we move forward but first the big transition that just took place.

Ninja Forms our WordPress form building plugin was brought over here to keep all of our products under one roof for simplicity and better support. Included in this transition we will be releasing a free version of Ninja Forms called Ninja Forms Lite. It will have many great features to fulfill you basic form building needs.

More to come…

Please be patient with us

If you have come here because of one of our plugins in the WordPress repository, NinjaForms, or even one of out themes this message is for you.

We are going through a lot of restructuring as a business. This restructuring is so we can offer much better support, more plugins & themes, and a new overall focus. This does mean that we are spending all of our time on this restructuring process at the moment. We hope that very soon we will be able to unveil the new and improved WP Ninjas and all of our products to make your WordPress site even better.

That’s really all I can say right now but I hope you will stay tuned for all that is coming down the way.

Thanks again for using our stuff. :)

Proud sponsor of Oblivion-X

We have been hard at work. Not as hard at work as we need to be on some of our plugin updates but hard at work none the less. Our main project at the moment is handling the web presence of the Oblivion-X website. We are handling hosting, design, development, Social Media and SEO for this great cause and we are excited to be a part of it.

Oblivion-X is a Haunted House in Tennessee with a mission to raise money to take 40+ children in economically disadvantaged situation on a Christmas shopping spree of sorts. It also plans to make a substantial donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Cleveland & Love146. There is definitely plenty of work for us to do but few as fulfilling as helping to make this project a huge success and knowing the impact we will have had on some many kids lives.

If you would like to support this great cause by becoming a sponsor, volunteering or simply helping promote the cause please don’t hesitate. It will be well worth your effort.

Recent Work Updated & more

It seems like every few months I have to write a post to say that we’re still here, alive, and working. The problem is, we are working, just not on this website very often. I’m trying to turn that corner but making myself sit down and write more content is my least favorite thing to do and so most of the time…I don’t.

So what have we been up to?

We worked on a couple websites…

We released a new free plugin…

Plus there are a few things that we are still working on and/or yet to be released…

  • Ninja Forms (Plugin)
  • Ninja Pages (plugin)
  • Church Helpr
  • A couple sites
  • Better support
  • A lot of dreams

It appears we have been keeping ourselves busy but I am trying to make writing some more tips and tutorials a greater priority moving forward. Perhaps I can get Kevin to do that as well.

More to come.

We’re still here & kicking

My apologies that we haven’t been posting or responding to comments and such. I have been on vacation, working on some remodeling projects, and various web projects. This also meant that revisions to our current plugins have suffered as well. I am going to do my best to get some of this moving again and hope provide some great tools, tips, and tutorials for your next web projects.

Thank you so much for your patience and there is more to come.

Fix 404 Page Not Found error on new custom post types

So you’ve created a custom post type with a custom slug and you’ve added some content and viewed the post only to find a 404 Page Not Found Error page. This is because although you registered your new post type WordPress doesn’t know how to handle it yet.

Simply go to settings>permalinks and choose a permalink structure if you haven’t done so already. Once done click “save changes” and make any changes to .htaccess if prompted to do so. Now view you custom post again and all should be right with the world.

Get Pages to Show Up in Category & Tag Archives

In a previous post we shared how to Add Categories & Tags to WordPress Pages. But what good is that if WordPress doesn’t include pages into the category and tag archive pages. Depending on your specific implementation, not very much.

Here is a quick bit of code that we found at bajada.net that will add those pages that you have categorized or tagged into the appropriate archives.


add_filter( 'pre_get_posts' , 'ucc_include_custom_post_types' );
function ucc_include_custom_post_types( $query ) {
    global $wp_query;

    /* Don't break admin or preview pages. */
    if ( !is_preview() && !is_admin() && !is_page() && !is_single() && !is_home() ) {
        $args = array(
            'public' => true ,
            '_builtin' =>; false
        );
        $output = 'names';
        $operator = 'and';

        $post_types = get_post_types( $args , $output , $operator );
        $post_types = array_merge( $post_types , array( 'post', 'page' ) );

        if ($query->is_feed) {
            // Do feed processing here.
        } else {
            $my_post_type = get_query_var( 'post_type' );
            if ( empty( $my_post_type ) )
                $query->set( 'post_type' , $post_types );
        }
    }

    return $query;

}

Line 6 is kind of important. Here you can use Conditional Tags to prevent pages from being added under those conditions. For instance, we’ve added !is_home() because although we may want pages in our archive pages, we didn’t want them in our main blog index. Have fun.
