In reply to: [Pressbooks] Pressbooks not creating new sitesHi @captainz3ro, it sounds like you have an htaccess error. Did you install as subdomain or subdirectory? What is in your
.htaccessfile?Also—you won’t be able to generate ebooks if you are using Pressbooks on GoDaddy. You won’t be able to install many of the dependencies there.

In reply to: [Pressbooks] Export not working 3.7.1 for all but XML filesHi @captainz3ro, on a shared hosting environment such as GoDaddy you will not be able to install most of the dependencies that are required for exporting the full range of file formats. See “Part 3, Pressbooks dependencies”, here. In order to export PDF, you will need to install either Prince or Pressbooks mPDF, and in order to export EPUB and MOBI you will need to install KindleGen, EpubCheck and xmllint. Many of these packages are not installable on a shared hosting environment.
For this reason, most individual users would be better served by creating a book or books on Pressbooks.com rather than running their own network. If you do want to run your own network, you will need to use a VPS provider such as Digital Ocean that will give you the level of administrative access required to install all the necessary dependencies for export. I hope this clarifies.

In reply to: [Pressbooks] Why is the installation on multisite?Pressbooks is more of a platform than a plugin. In the multisite environment, each site is a book, which allows a publishing house, an educational institution or any organization to create a Pressbooks network that can host a large number of books. Pressbooks would not scale for these kinds of users if a new install had to be created for each new book. I hope this clarifies the technical requirement for you. If you wish to author a single book using Pressbooks you still have to install it in a multisite environment. Alternatively, you could use our hosted Pressbooks.com service. Thanks for your interest!

In reply to: [Pressbooks] MOBI ExportHi @jrodriguez, you need to install KindleGen on your server, not from within WordPress. Where are you hosting your site? It may be that your host does not support installing KindleGen.

In reply to: [Pressbooks] How to Download All 45 Themes Outside of the 5 Given?Hi @webbie81, the themes on Pressbooks.com are not part of the open source version of Pressbooks that we have released publicly. I hope this answers your question. We are working to improve the theme development process so that users can create and modify themes more easily within their own Pressbooks networks.

In reply to: [Pressbooks] Multi Site Installs OnlyHi mythusmage, Pressbooks is designed to allow users to author books (plural) and as such it requires the multisite environment. Each blog in a multisite installation corresponds to one book. Hope this helps you understand the requirement. If you just want to use Pressbooks to create a single book, I would you suggest you use the free pressbooks.com service rather than setting up your own site.

In reply to: [Pressbooks] Sub-domains vs Sub-directoriesSorry for the delayed reply. Pressbooks is built to work well on both subdomains and subdirectories so you should be fine with either. (Our primary network at Pressbooks.com uses subdomains, but we also maintain networks for clients that use subdirectories.)
Thanks! It worked. Much appreciated.
Right, sorry, I meant
pre_get_document_title. I guess my question is how to identify the custom endpoint for the purposes of applying the filter (I think you are using themy_not_the_upgrade_page()placeholder function in your example to show where one would do this, but I’m not sure how to do it). I know this isn’t an SEO Framework question specifically. However, without the SEO Framework activated, that custom endpoint just displays the blogname as the title, but with the SEO Framework activated it displays the title of the most recent post. I can provide some debugging info if that’s helpful to show how The SEO Framework is interpreting the custom endpoint. Thanks again for your help.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Pressbooks] Video file sizeFile size restrictions are determined by your server configuration and the network administrator’s max upload file size configuration. See: http://<yoururl.com>/wp-admin/network/settings.php.

In reply to: [Pressbooks] Does the plugin add watermarks like the hosted version?The watermarks can be turned off if you are hosting a Pressbooks install on your own server using the plugin.

In reply to: [Pressbooks] Restricting PressbooksWhat you are suggesting is simply not the way Pressbooks was designed and does not serve the needs of the overwhelming majority of our clients, but as the plugin is open source anyone can adapt it to their own use cases.
