In reply to: [Registration Honeypot] Please Update, or suggest alternativeWell, yes, you can update the plugin, silly or not. That is what WordPress requires, and it is the platform you are on.
I would gladly join in if you seek public support for positive change. But all I know is that your plugin is made to look as if it’s abandoned and dangerous by the software in my face, even though I think it’s a false alarm. So systemic trust is being lost here, and you are contributing to that for whatever reason.
As for long-standing problems no one cares about, you are speaking of the human condition. I may not want to live in an entrenched, life-destroying oil-based oligarchy trending toward military dictatorship, but that’s not to say I don’t care. Hierarchies make rational change nigh impossible, and WP is caking into one under the dire influence of commerce. Because commerce is energetically motivated and, oddly, others are not. This dynamic is writ large across our era.
Ignoring other folks’ issues isn’t an effective protest. Just giving you feedback. Thanks for the prior inspiration.

In reply to: [10Web Social Post Feed] Options Page missing App ID and App Secret entryActually I’m trying to relay *good* news! I fixed the issue by accident when I saw the new box on the feed setup page.
(In my case) I didn’t need to reinstall the plugin.
(In my case) I didn’t need to delete my old WD Facebook Feed.What I needed to do was to choose the page from the NEW DROPDOWN BOX which your team created as part of changing the plugin’s setup process.
The plugin worked perfectly after that.
Some users may need to reinstall so the page selection dropdown box will populate, but I just needed to know about this step: the pages were already there.
What was missing for me was DOCUMENTATION of this dropdown selection step (unless you’ve updated your docs since my last post). So this is feedback that might help others.
Thank you for responding, and thank you for the plugin because it solved our issue … we’ll definitely look to buying the premium version if the site grows enough to support it.

In reply to: [10Web Social Post Feed] Options Page missing App ID and App Secret entryI went to delete the feed, and I noticed there’s a new Page textbox on the setup page. It was a drop-down box, and it had my page listed. I selected it. That was the issue!
After you authorize the Facebook app, go to your desired feed’s configuration screen. Select your feed’s source page from the drop-down box labeled “FB pages”).
Maybe spelling out this small crucial step will be helpful.

In reply to: [UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Not auto-updating ?Yes, the plugin updates fine manually. It usually does auto-update, just this time it wouldn’t.
Just something strange I guess. Thanks for the response, I appreciate it!

In reply to: [Registration Honeypot] Please Update, or suggest alternativeI hear you, WG. I only ask because the WordPress repository flashes a warning of how old and outdated it is. Wordfence is hysterical with worry. It matters because it’s about communication to users, maybe.
Thanks for responding, much appreciated!
Thank you, I appreciate the response. Look forward to it!
The images on my feed are not showing. Please respond.

In reply to: [10Web Social Post Feed] Options Page missing App ID and App Secret entryWhen facebk changed a couple months ago, your tokens quit working and I underwent the support rigamarole. 2 weeks and hours of emails later it was finally fixed … for about 3 days. Then your group switched the entire setup process WITHOUT notice or documentation.
So, hours of my time and wasted effort later, your actions put me back to square #1.
I don’t have a tricky installation. It’s just a simple news site. So please, fix this here, through normal support of the community you are using to leverage sales from. I’m more of a mind to share this experience than re-do it privately.
THE QUESTION I HAVE ASKED >> After giving your group access to my facebook data with your new procedure, IS THERE ANOTHER STEP? Because it’s not working.

In reply to: [10Web Social Post Feed] Options Page missing App ID and App Secret entryOk. Your group did a huge behind the scenes change without notice. Awesome.
I did the steps you outlined … the feed still does not update.
Is there another step involved?
It’s odd no one else is asking why their feeds have stopped working, if there’s updated documentation please let me know!
Thank you for the info! Yes the plugin is doing great.
Thank you, Hardeep. Actually I wasn’t only reporting the issue, I do need help *fixing* it.
It’s not working and other people are having this issue too. Please give me some understanding of what is going on, or let me know if I can help with anything from my end.
It’s bad to have such a highly visible problem go on like this.
Hi … thank you. We use the shortcode, this is one that’s not showing images. (Far right column under a facebook stream http://www.clean-round.com.

In case it can help see the issue, here is another feed that IS showing images on the same page (bottom left):

The problem actually hasn’t gone away … I know this is a free plugin, and free support is asking a lot. Thanks for whatever help might come.

In reply to: [10Web Social Post Feed] Does a facebk Share post count as a Post?Thank you for the information, I appreciate the explanation!
Fbook takes one more step to total unusability. And it wasn’t even great while it lasted.

To follow up … it took a bit of back and forth, but the plugin support at Web-Dorado came through. It turned out that the Page Access token had expired, due to facebook changes it seems. Hopefully those changes are settled down for now.
One detail in the mix is that the Page Access token must be used within the hour of creating it, which might catch people out who are just setting things up.
The plugin’s feed updated automatically this morning and all seems to be working. Thanks again to the plugin team, who went above and beyond in supporting a free user. Much appreciated!
