AJAXed WordPress Because WordPress loves AJAX.

AJAXed Wordpress (AWP) harnesses the power of both AJAX and Wordpress to improve the user experience, the administration capabilities and the design potential of any Wordpress based blog. It works on all WordPress versions from 2.1 - 2.5.1.

Last AWP Release: April 26, 2008

AWP Information

Some of AWP’s features include loading posts inline, inline comments, threaded comments, AJAX comment submission, AJAX Navigation, live comment preview and much more. AWP is endlessly customizable and extensible. Even though AWP provides many features, you are never forced to use features that you don’t want. All aspects of the plugin are easily customized through a single Administration panel.

What are some of the other benefits to using AWP?

AWP is completely free. Free to use, free to play with, and free support. The continued development of this project is supported by voluntary user donations.

AWP is easy to use. The basic setup of AWP is very simple to use. However, AWP is advanced enough that over time you find that it is infinitely flexible. AWP can be used without any theme edits or can

AWP features an advanced module system — based off of WordPress’ own plugin system — that add features and change its behavior, it can even use third-party extensions.

AWP interacts exceedingly well with most plugins, and it has special features that ensure compatibility with most plugins, and even has support built in for some of the most popular, including Subscribe to Comments and WP Ajax Edit Comments, by default.

AWP is search engine and user friendly. None of the AJAX or JavaScript used in the base modules will interfere with SEO or Accessibility. Every link, including those for multiple pages, are real links and resolve without JavaScript.

AWP is mature. AWP has been actively developed and supported for two full years. You will benefit from this stability as you explore the many ways AWP features interact.

AWP may be in your language.. AWP currently speaks English and Japanese (props to Momo-i). Translations are created and maintained by volunteers. Maybe you would like to contribute to this project by translating AWP into your language?

About AWP Modules

Modules are basically mini-plugins that provide all of AWP’s features.

The following modules are included by default in the download:

Module Description
AJAX navigation

Adds the ability to paginate the index and single post pages. It also allows you to load pages inline. This plugin is for advanced users who recognize its current limitations and accept them.

Custom Options

Adds the ability to set custom AWP options on individual posts and pages.
Embedded Posts

Adds the ability to embed posts inside other posts and then load them inline.
reCAPTCHA

Integrates a reCAPTCHA into wordpress, and performs flawlessly with aWP inline comment form.
Inline Comment Form

This module controls all aspects of the inline comment form and is required by modules that hook into the AWP comment form.
Inline Comments

This module controls all aspects of inline comments and is required by modules that hook into AWP comments.
Inline Posts

This module controls all aspects of inline posts and is required by modules that hook into AWP posts.
Live Preview

Adds a live preview after your comment form.
Output Cache

This module will cache the major functions in AWP to speed up the processing of each page. This is especially useful if you have inline comments with threading or inline posts split by word count. (Inspired by and based upon POC Cache) Temporarily removed.
Protect tags

Protects code, blockquote and pre blocks from being included in the word and paragraph counts, so they aren’t trimmed.
Paginated Pages

Permits Persons to Purposefully Paginate Pages. — This plugin requires that Inline Posts be activated and enabled. (However, you may deselect the “use simple posts option” to avoid having posts loaded inline.)
Quick Tags and Smilies

Adds Quicktags and/or clickable smilies support to the comment form.
Preview Comment

Adds a preview button that submits the comment to the server so the privew is exactly like it would appear. It even allows your other plugins to format it.
Remove Mores

If you used more tags before you installed AWP then this module will strip them out.
Lightbox Support

Helps Lightbox, Slimbox, and Lightview to find new links in posts and comments loaded by aWP.
Javascript and CSS Core Cache

File-based cache for the core CSS and JS files so they are not recreated every time a user visits the website.
Threaded Comments

Adds threaded comments support to AWP and your theme. It does not require inline comments, but will function better if inline comments are used.

Supporters of this project is also include Website Optimization and Web Design Colleges.

This is the main page and permanent home for the AJAXed WordPress Plugin. Please post all support questions in the support forum. General comments, “thank you”s and demos may be posted here. Test comments will be removed in a few hours.

    Downloaded and installed AJAXed WP, looks interesting but I have to admit I am a bit lost as to how to use it and what it actually does. Do you have any kind of documentation I can read about this herculean effort?

      There is a sizable readme, but the biggest help will probably be the little hints inside the Admin panel. (click the [?])

      The documentation is still a work-in-progress, so if you have any questions outside of what the readme answers, I’ll try to explain them the best I can.

      Looks good, and good luck.

      With the release of the next version I’m going to try to start a gallery of people who use non-standard installs of AWP. WP.Mu definitely qualifies.

    A very easy hook to everyone who wants to show the real “comment count”, without including trackbacks.

    Open /wp-includes/comment.php

    Replace
    $new = (int) $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = '$post_id' AND comment_approved = '1'");
    with
    $new = (int) $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID = '$post_id' AND comment_type = '' AND comment_approved = '1'");

    That’s it !
    Very useful if you use “separate trackbacks from comments” through this great AWP plugin. :D

    Note: WP stores “comment count” for each post in SQL database. That hook is immediately effective on new posts, and automatically update “comment count” in an older post when someone publish a comment or a trackback.
    Should be easy to write a oneshot running script (wp_update_comment_count_in_every_posts) if you want to update the whole blog instantly.

    8) Tested and aproved on WP 2.3.3 with AWP 1.11.1.

    Wow, fast reply. Incredible support. Everything is working now. Thanks a lot, even when your plugin was not causing the problem. Be sure I will use PayPal for you in the next days (finishing current month, let me get the money). Thanks a lot again.

          I’m working on the AJAX history now. I haven’t come up with a solution I like perfectly, so it hasn’t been coded yet, but it is in the works.

          (What can I say? It is a long to-do list.) ;)

    I have an idea and I’m wondering if this plug would make it work:

    I’d like to have people be able to submit posts in the same way you can a comment. This would allow users to post without having to go through a separate login page and the wp dashboard or anything.

    On this add post page/form, they could enter in their user/pass via ajax and the rest would look just like the add posts form.

    Do you think this could work? It would be really nice to keep the posting simple with NO admin/dashboard, etc. Just like how the comment form is visible to everyone, this form could be too. They’d just have to enter the user/pass to be able to submit.

    Thanks for any feedback or ideas.

      This would be an interesting project, but I don’t see a wide-spread demand for it, so I don’t think it will find its way into AWP.
