URL Path Bug In WordPress.com Video Server

You’ve got to both respect Automattic for releasing their internal code as open source while also giving them a break for not assuring that it works for anybody else. One of their projects, the WordPress.com Video Server is a sophisticated WordPress plugin that handles video transcoding and offers a bit of a YouTube in a box solution for WordPress.

The bug I found is that the code assumes WPMU is running in subdomain mode, rather than subdirectory mode. This assumption causes an ajax request to go to the wrong URL and return the wrong data. The patch simply applies WordPress’ plugins_url() function that debuted in 2.6.

WordPress Bug In setup_postdata()

WordPress is built around the Loop, and all the cool kids are using multiple loops on the same page to show the main post and feature other posts. The problem is: WordPress doesn’t properly reset the $pages global for each post. If the post in main loop (or default query) is paged, then all the other posts will show the same paged content as in the main post. I started a ticket and submitted a patch, but in the meantime you might have to unset( $GLOBALS['pages'] ) in your custom loops just before calling the_post().
