I think that it's very clear :)

Ping.fm new owners (Seesmic) banned my plugin and a lot of others third party apps using his service.

Since then they don't give new api keys to anyone and neither restore banned apis.

So I'll remove support for this crappy service from my plugin. Maybe in the next version if I have time enough to finish it.

UPDATE (2011/08/27): Ping.fm support will be removed in a future version of this plugin.

Can you please elaborate what does it mean

Thank you!

Or you can use the Posterous plugin. Sign up to Posterous and it can push out to a number of sites, much like Ping.fm.

Anyone know a fix? Thanks

Just a little while ago, Yama from Seesmic replied on my blog. See his reply here: http://tevyawashburn.com/post/seesmic-is-ruining-ping-fm/

So maybe good things are coming? It sounds like they're wanting to make us happy. I've got my finger's crossed.

Not to sure Ping.fm is listening though. I've followed their procedure to get "approved", a few times, and never head back.

I'd also read someplace they were in transition, perhaps part of another company. I'll look for that again and post if I can find the article I read.

This has been going on long enough, that I don't like Ping cares any longer about the automated connection with wordpress users, or can't do anything about the problem. We need to find another working solution. Too bad; Ping.fm was an effect tool for me!

Much like Twitter Tools or other Twitter/Fb plugins. Each person must then use their own api key or other form of authorization, so that they can reject individual spammers without affecting the rest of us who want to use samuelaguilera's plugin in honest and good ways.

What do you say? Should we all email them or start a thread on their support or something like that?

I'll hope for updates and check back often for a solution!

have you checked custom fields of the affected post?? any error message on it??

have you tried another shortener?

I can understand that it is not your fault if this plugin is not working for me or my friends. But before I have used your plugin and liked it a lot thats why I wanted to thank you for making such nice plugin.

Carry on with your work man... You will get success in life on every step

I know that email notification is working for some users and not for others, but it's not a problem of the plugin. Sorry but I can't do more about this, blame to Seesmic not me.

I'm sharing this plugin that I made for personal use (for me and my customers) to anyone who wants to use for free. I do it in my spare time, and I have no time to fight against a company (Seesmic) that decided to block my app (and others like twiterfeed.com) because so many people use it and they don't want to improve their servers.

If Seesmic wants, they can solve the problem reenabling my app key again (as it was for more than a year). But that is not in my hand.

It's so simple like that.

So sorry, but I can't expend more time on this.

I tried it on my site as well as on site of my friends... Did not work for us so no other other option other than using publish2ping.fm which has bugs and all sub menu of other plugin becomes unaccessible.

I don't know what wrong while i have tried resetting all... resetting email at ping.fm ... deleting content from phpmyadmin... deactivating ... activating.. My host provide that required mail function... hosting24.com is my host... my friend has hostgator.com and did not work for him too.
So, how to use it now... required help...

If it's not working for you on scheduled posts maybe you should look for another plugin using no standard calls that maybe is breaking the WP scheduled posts hook used by my plugin to do his work.

So, there is no need to fix anything at my side for this.

Thanks for your support. My Ping API is working fine with publish2ping.fm plugin but that has drawback that it makes all submenu ueseless.. we cant access them... can you check that as there is no contact of that plugin developer... i tried to contact but no response.

Thanks once again.. I will try on some other sites of my friend and will let you know soon...

Please, take in mind all of you an important thing: The plugin relies on Ping.fm service, so if Seesmic want they can block you in any way (or do whatever they want to the service behaviour), and they don't give warns to anyone. That is a fact.

So is not only a matter of the plugin working or not working.

Do it from Shorten2Ping settings page if you want to support my efforts to mantain the plugin live.

@FabiennePossets: I suppose that you're talking about Facebook when saying "how to put in pictures so they appear with the message and also formatted correctly" ?

If so, all I can do it by my side is done. Not showing picture and formating is not an issue of the plugin. I can`t say if it's Ping.fm (maybe) or Facebook, but you can be sure that I followed Facebook developer guide to add the required info into the post page to show thumbnail and description for Facebook.

This is actually a lot more useful than just having WordPress be the focal point for blogging and sending out to the other social media. Why? Because I have an iPhone and the WordPress app does not work. So I can't send blogs or posts to my social media from my iPhone. However, now that it is done with e-mail, I can add to my blogs and posts anytime I want without a problem. Es mas facil. !Gracias!
