In reply to: Defunct PluginsWhat I say is this, plugin developers should be responsible for their plugins. Namely, they should either keep them up or not put them out to begin with. Like I said I have ten sites with over 100 posts each with embeds from Youtube in my posts. Things like videos and interviews and such. So because WordPress plugin developers lose interest in updating their plugins we webmasters are left with hackable sites…which is what has happened with me, and no fix for those plugins that will break a large part of many of my sites when being uninstalled. I say there should be a repository of those plugins where someone at WordPress keeps them up, or else don’t put them out in the first place. That’s a suggestion. Hiring a developer to move almost 1000 posts over to a new plugin that will itself likely be discontinued or abandoned is something I really look forward to…. only not. Either make these things inclusive to the core of WordPress or don’t put them out to begin with.

In reply to: Defunct PluginsSo once more I’m going to ask, how do I replace the coding in the SmartYoutube plugin in at least ten sites with more than 100 posts each? If you’ve got a suggestion for that one, I’d love to hear it.

In reply to: Defunct PluginsThis is an issue I’m having with personal sites I have. Are there any like the two I’ve mentioned that I won’t have to go through and redo the embed codes in each post for the Youtube plugin? I have ten sites with one having hundreds of posts I’d have to go through. As you can see, this is a pain in the butt to have to deal with.

That is what it says. And I’m still getting the “videos” in the string.

In reply to: Permalink IssueThe setting is set to Custom with this:
/%category%/%postname%/
There is no page using that slug. I’ve looked, but nothing. the structure is
yoursite.org/media/category/video-name-here but that part of the link is still there. No idea why.

In reply to: [One Click Demo Import] xml file not importingI have finally submitted a ticket to my hosting company and hopefully this will be remedied soon. It’s one of those frustrating things as I’ve done this before with no issues.
Thanks for your help.

In reply to: [One Click Demo Import] xml file not importingOkay that would explain it. Thanks for telling me that. As for how to send it, how would I do that?
Thanks in advance.

In reply to: [One Click Demo Import] xml file not importingThis is what I get when I try to upload the file:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.fLike I said above, I’ve tried it on Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Nothing works. And I’m sorry but I don’t know what you mean about checking the log file. Is there a file in WordPress that is in the actual file system? Because other than that, there is no file to look at except what is in the wp-admin > media php file. Nothing for logging, unless you mean the log file in the server.
Edit: Further, I set up a sandbox and ran the file through the demo in both the WordPress Importer without success, then through the WP All Import plugin. I received an error message saying:
There is a problem with your import file. The XML file has errors and is not valid.
I then ran it through an XML validtor, and received this message:
XML Validator will not run it
I have researched this fix for hours and found nothing to help. One thing I read was to re-import the file from the old install and then try to re-install. Problem is I’ve deleted the old install. I also read to run it through mysql in PHPMyAdmin. I do not know how to do this. I also found one article that said the ISO coding is wrong….. And on, and on, and on. You see my conundrum? I really need this fixed without it my WordPress site cannot go back up as it contains all my posts, pages, tags, and such and it would be impossible for me to try to recreate the posts and pages since the original install was over five years old. The reason for the need for a clean install was due to a hacked site. I tried cleaning up the files using a plugin to scan the site, however, when I just didn’t know if the site was clean, I thought of just doing what I’ve done with a clean install.
So here I am……

In reply to: [One Click Demo Import] xml file not importingThe file just times out. I don’t get anything except the browser times out. I’ve tried it in Firefox (default), Chrome and Opera. Same thing. Nothing is happening. It’s the entire file that’s not uploading. This includes my posts, pages, tags…..

In reply to: [One Click Demo Import] xml file not importingHello:
For various reasons I had to do a complete reload of my site using WordPress. That means I copied my posts, pages, media, attachments, etc all into an xml file via the wordpress exporter from my old site. I deleted the old WordPress files including dumping the database to start over. I reuploaded a clean copy of WordPress, reuploaded my theme, plugins, etc. I also imported my widgets from the old site and reinstalled them on the new one. When I went to run the WordPress XML importer, it has stalled or just times out. I’ve upped my file size limit and time out using code in the .htaccess file as well as a code in the wp_config.php. Trying to upload again nothing. The file is only 1.37MB in size and it shouldn’t be taking so long. Is there anything else I can do?

In reply to: How to Disable Visual Editor in The Text Widget@_regeek:
That’s not the problem I’m having. The problem I’m having is that it completely changes my coding. While the result is the same on the webpage, the coding completely changes when I go from text to visual, which you have to do when you save it. The point is, I want complete control over the widget area in a box that should not be rich text or visual. I have rectified the issue by doing the downgrade on WP and updating the database. All is back to normal. I won’t update until this issue is corrected (hopefully) in the next release. But thank you for the work around.

In reply to: How to Disable Visual Editor in The Text WidgetStill doesn’t fix the coding issue….. Why break something that didn’t need fixing?
