Hello all. WordPress Wiki 0.9-alpha is ready for testing.
A lot of cool new stuff works in this version, but it is highly experimental, and we need lots of testing to make sure this is a robust, cross-platform, backwards-compatible release.
Here’s what’s new:
- Custom post types for 3.0
- Front-end editing
- A friendly, MediaWiki-like front-end interface
- Full Wiki syntax, including internal links
- Creating new wiki pages without a template tag for the 404 page
Here’s what’s still planned:
- An option for edits to go into a “pending” pool before approval
- A WYSIWYG editor that supports Wiki syntax
- Better permissions management
- The ability for users to include a note along with their edit
- Object-oriented design to allow for plugins
Here’s what’s still broken in the current version:
- Permissions for the “Wiki Editor” role are still not fully worked out. The code needs to be changed to only allow Wiki Editors to see and edit Wiki Pages
- “Red Links” lead to a page that will create a new Wiki page with the specified title, but you aren’t yet redirected to the new page.
- Graceful degradation- the front end editor depends on JavaScript to work.
Please and test this version. It’s only been tested on OS X in Chrome and Firefox, using PHP 5 and MySQL 5. Report your findings in the comments.
More updates very very very soon!
bot work!
works fine so far, but there is an error message in the dashboard:
Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘wiki_dashboard_widget’ not found or invalid function name in C:\XXX\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 395
Looking good so far. No errors so far. I suggest to place priority to the pending pool, seeing as how that can be the deal breaker for most people.
Hi,
I’m using wordpress 2.9.2 and I’ve updated my wiki plugin to 0.9. Now i get the following message in the dashboard:
Warning: call_user_func_array(): First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘wiki_dashboard_widget’ was given in /www/…/htdocs/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339.
Besides, the options ‘Read’ ‘Edit’ and ‘view history’ in the posts wiki editables of my website appear disordered (displaced to the right side) out of the post template.
As a suggestion for nexts versions, from my point of view a wiki editor should not have access to all posts and pages (wiki editables and not)!! in the admin panel.
It’s possible to allow only the edition from the website maybe changing something in the source code? For next version will be great if you can activate or disable this option.
@Dex I think this plugin is 3.0 and above only from now on, since it uses custom post types.
It’s truly great to see this plugin back in the wild. Just two things real quick:
- It’s really time to the old plugin directory
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-wiki/
- Maybe with BuddyPress Custom Posts, you could get a simple BuddyPress-integration going?

Thanks,
it’s possible to convert a post to a wiki page? because now you have to create it always from scracth.
I`m so much looking forward to see this plugin in action on the 3 version. Keep up the good work….we are some who has waited a long time for this release……You are doing an awesome job.
Is there any release date of the beta-version?
Thanks!!
Hey Guys. Glad to see the feedback here is mostly positive!! I can’t wait to see where this goes!!! We’re going to have a play in the next few days – we might get a few pending jobs nailed.
It’d be great if more programmers would contribute back to this project!!
Any news?
