We have recently launched a WordPress plugin for Kareem. It has been in the works for some time, but we’re back now with a great update. In the previous post we noted that we were already working on introducing new features to improve the plugin/widget, these are now completed and you can download the latest from the official WordPress plugin directory.

What’s different from last time:

Previously you had no specific options. You had to use the widget as it came. However with the latest version, this is no longer the case. Whether you would like to show only Kareem’s photo and the feed from FreeKareem.org, or only a video and the social networking links, or simply an alert and a count-up of his time in prison, or a “tell a friend” e-mail option to increase awareness, or anything in between – this plugin allows you to choose whichever you prefer to show on your sidebar.

Take a look:

FAQ:

How do I customize it?
After you download and upload the plugin to your WordPress site (see “Installation“), go to “Settings” and proceed to the Free Kareem tab. Tick whatever option you would like your widget to include, and untick whatever you wish to eliminate. All the buttons are ticked by default, but this is just to show you the options before you begin customizing it depending on your needs.

Is it compatible with WordPress 2.7?
Yes. It is compatible with every version of WordPress since 2.0 and we’ll continue making it compatible with future releases of WordPress as well.

Does this plugin come in different languages?
Yes, very soon. Thanks to the outstanding support of volunteers we are currently working on launching this plugin in different languages. If you would like to translate this plugin, please let us know.

Here’s just an example of a customized WordPress widget:
