    yep, the permalink structure is screwed up.

  2. Keith says:

    None of my plugins use an “add to cart” button, so I don’t see how I can help. You should ask this question of the person who wrote your shopping cart program.

    I am creating my own natural beauty product, and started giving away samples. I do not want to sell the product until the buyer has tried the sample.
    I want my “conditions of purchase” to pop-up when the buyer clicks “add to cart” and require the buyer to agree to the terms before proceeding to purchase. Any ideas on how to program all this on WordPress?

    Thanks for the plugin

  5. Keith,
    I noticed that you use kindle.com only for the “Kindle-This” plug-in, any chance of adding optional kindle-this destinations ie: kindle.co.uk?
    Maybe a dropdown list where the kindle.com field is now?
    Thanks for the plugin and your efforts!

    The Rich Text Widget is like the text widget except it allows you to easily add formatted text – colors, size, font, style, etc – in a widget. It does not change any of your existing widgets.

    If you do not get the rich text menu when you drag it to you widget area, let me know.

    Hello Keith,
    Hoping this reaches you…
    I just installed your Rich Text plugin for sidebar widgets – don’t see any difference at all in the way the widgets function. How is this plugin supposed to work, what am I supposed to see? I’m using the Clear Line theme from Vatuma. Thanks!

    as a follow up, it seems that this ip
    9 1 . 2 0 7 . 5 . 2 0 6 is the culprit.
    even deleting files and reinstalling doesn’t help.
    cheers

    Got the same problem again, after adding php.ini into these folders.

    Do you have another suggestion? Will these php.ini make my site load slower?

  11. Keith says:

    Tomy,

    I got your email.

    What happens is that the youtube poster goes out and gets lots of information from youtube, and when you add the pages it uses up lots of cycles.

    The plugin can time out quickly on systems that have severe limits on the cpu cycles and timing.

    I use a php.ini file under PHP 5 and it helps.

    create a file called php.ini and add these lines:

    upload_max_filesize=20M
    max_execution_time=20000
    enable-memory-limit=true
    memory_limit=96M
    post_max_size=8M
    allow_url_fopen=On

    Put this in your root dir, the wp dir, the wp-admin and the wp-plugins dir. It bumps up the default stuff so you can handle the needs of the plugin.

    I did not get the error in the email. Could you try again?

  13. tomy says:

    I am getting this error when trying to run a search for a keyword in your plugin.
    Can you please advice?

  14. Richman says:

    Very Nice. Works perfect in my environment and I have been looking for weeks how to get my PS script on a task.

  15. Keith says:

    I don’t know anything about pro player. I will have to research this.

    hi,

    it is very useful plugin.in my site i use pro player.But adding the video using you tube poster it will not use pro player.How can i set it to use pro player by default.

  17. Keith says:

    It should read

    $excerpt=””;

    Don’t forget the semicolon.

    The excerpt is used in some themes that don’t display the whole post and it is used in the rss feed. You don’t need to change it if you are not using the excerpt in your theme.

    This way we get rid of the whole excerpt.

  18. Steve says:

    Hi Keith, thanks for really prompt reply. Trying to do what you advised but not sure if I am doing it right. I deleted $media_title ok, but not sure what you meant by changing next line to just $excerpt=””; Do you mean delete all the code which is normally there? (below). Tried that and get fatal error messages and then sometimes it wont display the videos to choose from in plugin.

    Sorry to eat up your time. What should the change be to the following code lines?

    $excerpt=”“.$media_title.’‘;

  19. Keith says:

    The link occurs in the content and the excerpt

    line 603 has the content link.

    the easiest thing would be to delete the word $media_title – this would make the link invisible.

    Change the next line to
    $excerpt=””;
    and there will be no thumbnail.

    Hi

    Thought your video poster was superb and the answer to my prayers. However I noticed a problem in that it seems to post two thumbnails to my homepage. By that I mean, once I add a video via your form, it creates two duplicate entries/thumbnails on the homepage – one links through to the post on my site (which is great) but the other links directly to the video at youtube.

    (my site where you can see the problem is above)

    Is there a way I can prevent it from creating two duplicate entries? I only want one obviously which clicks through to the post on my site. (Happy to donate, if I can get this problem fixed). Thanks

  21. Eric says:

    Is it possible to only locate videos from a certain user? When I try typing in there name it brings up lots of videos that other people tagged with that persons name.

  22. Keith says:

    There are no settings. The youtube poster link is under posts or pages. This is where you add the posts using the youtube poster plugin.

    I didn’t put it under settings because it seemed more logical to put it under posts. Maybe I should include a link on the settings page to open the poster section of the plugin.

  23. Keith says:

    Hi Keith,
    I’ve installed the plugin, added my developer key but when I click on the “Youtube Poster” menu item in the “Settings” section, there are no settings visible.

    Hi, I love the plugin, but it does not seem to work right with my theme. After I choose the videos I want and put them in the blog, the blog post is redesigned so that the video is on the top of the page first, and not embedded right in the blog. any tips?

  25. Keith says:

    The youtube api requires a category for searches.

  26. aasma says:

    Great plugin!!!
    I want to search video without selecting any perticula category. is it possible ?
    Thank you

  27. Emmanuel says:

    Suggestion: I would like to also sync youtube video comments with my posts. This can be done different ways, but the simplest is:

    You could integrate with the Genki YouTube plugin simply by adding a custom field “youtubevidid” to each post.

    Let me know…

    Hey everybody

    I found my youtube developers key really easy right here. It did take some digging around.

    https://code.google.com/apis/youtube/dashboard/

    Just log in and request one.

    Also.. It would be cool t be able to set the default height and width and possibly make changes to some other imported data. ie: keywords, etc.

  29. Keith says:

    No problem. The API stuff is hidden and you have to be logged into YouTube to find it, so I can’t give you a specific link. I googled YouTUbe API key to find their instruction page when I was trying to do this.

    Keith

  30. Sherry says:

    Never mind I figured it out 🙂 sorry for bugging you..

  31. Sherry says:

    Uhm? Could I get some direction with the google getting an api key please :/ would it be possible for you to email me? I am going nuts trying to figure out where to go and what to do… I am sorry if this is normal for you to deal with but the plug in is exactly what my boss is looking for :/… and I feel daft..

  32. Keith says:

    I did not put it on the site. I’m sorry. I forgot to add it. It is very new, only a week or so old.

    Anyway, If you could give me the URL, I will check it out.

    Hi Keith,

    Can’t find here “No Right Click Images” Plugin. Is it discontinued?

    Although knowing that there are a lot of ways to overcome the “right click” action to get the images on a website, this Plugin was/is, at least, a show-stopper for less informed, bad intended web audience.

    I’ve just installed and everything is working as expected (just fine), but with on of my pages/categories, it’s no doing the job. Can you help? Thanks in advance.

    Best Regards,

    Unfortunately, I am blocked from accessing pastebin.com here because of a firewall (paranoid employers). It looks like you might fiddle with the styles and the content that I create and make it match the style. I don’t want to start debugging the freewptube theme, though. I have a hard enough time understanding my own code.

  35. Kaizer C says:

    Thanks for responding, yes I was hoping to make it compatible with the freewptube theme.

    It puts the video, and duration of it in custom fields, like so: i.imgur.com/Dvejz.jpg

    Your script puts that and other things directly in the main content of the post which messes up my pretty layout:
    original: https://i.imgur.com/NchEn.jpg
    with your plugin: https://i.imgur.com/VXZ7j.jpg

    Heres my horrible attempt at doing it myself: pastebin.com/gGkTycGh (lines modified: 576-581,614,624,625(but I have no idea what I’m doing)).

  36. Keith says:

    I’m not sure what you mean. I’m just adding a post and I am using the youtube wrapper for the video. I don’t use any custom fields in the code.

    Are you modifying the code of the plugin? If you are, you have to go all the way back to the place where I build the post. I create the post there because I need to send the information for the videos you choose back to the plugin in order to add them. It is a two part process, first display the selection list and then add the post – that’s why there are so many submit buttons. Then, in the place where I add the post you would also have to add the custom data.

  37. Kaizer C says:

    Awesome plugin.

    I’m currently using it with wpfreetube theme and trying to add video_code and duration as custom fields while post_content only contains description.
    Should I be using add_post_meta? where? in the for each loop, just can’t get it to work.

    Thanks for your hard work, hoping for an answer.

  38. Aran says:

    Sorry, one other question – I see that it’s importing the description with each video – is there a way to turn that off? Or a line that I can comment out in the code? Thanks…:-)

  39. Aran says:

    This looks like a really interesting plugin.

    I wonder, have you seen the video plugin at https://jonk.pirateboy.net/blog/category/bloggeriet/wordpress/plugins/

    which allows you to have thumbnails under the main video (scroll down a little bit and you’ll see the example) so that you can click on the thumbnail and the main video switches immediately, without a re-load?

    It looks really nice – and if it was possible for your far easier way of importing the videos to be combined with an end design that included clickable thumbnails like theirs, I think it would be just about perfect…:-)

    Anyway, just thought I’d give you a heads-up, in case it was something you could add comparatively easily.

    Thanks again for your plugin,

    Cheers,

    Aran

    Keith,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Looking forward to your results.

    The draft mode option is a great idea.

    As far as channels, it might be doable, but it would have to be a different plugin. I will subscribe to some channels and see if I can capture the rss feed from inside the plugin. If I can then it can be done. I would then set it on a timer to do it automatically.

    Keith

  42. Tyler says:

    Sir,
    Thank you for this plugin.
    Is it possible to have the posts created via subscription?
    That is to say, all videos from all channels the user is subscribed too?
    Also, is there an option to have the all videos from the search sent to ‘draft’ mode and then they can be edited/deleted/published from there?
