I’m pleased to announce an updated release of WP-United. This is a stability release — it fixes several bugs uncovered since the release of v0.7.0, and works with the newly released WordPress 2.8.

It also includes one new feature hotly requested in the forums — you can choose to have comments for posts cross-posted from WordPress to phpBB automatically closed, and a link added to the forum thread.

The full changelog is:

• NEW: Auto-linking of cross-posted posts’ comments to the forum.
• FIXED: Error with WordPress 2.8 final
• FIXED: (regression) List of forums with cross-posting permissions not correct in wp-admin
• FIXED: posts not cross-posting if post is first saved as a draft
• FIXED: Couple of mistakes in install.xml causing errors in AutoMod
• FIXED: Regression in session invocation was causing autologin to stop workig with some setups
• FIXED: Some plugins caused widgets to be executed in wp-admin, where wp-united widgets aren’t designed to run, causing errors.

As always, you can download the latest version of WP-United on our Download Page.
