In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Error 404 in GDE Pop-Up SettingsYou’re getting a 500 error, the 404 is just with your web site’s error document. The fact that you’re getting it from two unrelated plugins makes it seem like an issue with WordPress itself or your hosting environment. If you have access to server error logs and can see any more details about the error that would certainly help, but that’s definitely not a report I’ve received from others regarding the editor integration.
You can also try temporarily switching to one of the WordPress default themes just to rule out something strange with the theme you’ve selected.
Note that the editor integration in GDE can be completely disabled on the “Advanced” tab in GDE Settings, if you’re concerned it may be causing some kind of conflict. You can then just insert the shortcode manually, the syntax is very simple and thoroughly documented.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Not working properlyJoyce,
Sorry, I missed that you were the author of this thread originally. The two issues seemed unrelated and I didn’t look closely – my fault.
You’d have to do some odd hijacking to get GDE to display the link and not the viewer on purpose. There are only a few circumstances this can happen, listed here. When I visit the link you provided, the viewer is shown.
The performance of the standard viewer is limited to the speed at which Google can retrieve the document from your server to perform a conversion, and the size of the document. Your document is only two pages in size but over 1MB. I recommend you optimize your source document for web use to improve performance. Some notes on this here. GDE is not involved in network transfer when you’re using the standard viewer option, so the performance is limited by your document size and the connectivity of your hosting environment (and your personal internet connection). There isn’t anything GDE can do to improve these.
Hope this helps,
Kevin

I might catch a whiff of somebody who’s used to not getting responses to her support requests, but alas, here I am.
GDE works on iphone, and nothing has changed in the plugin for some time that would affect its display there. While I can’t speak to the actual document you’re having a problem with (no info provided) you can try clearing your cache and cookies in Safari and see if that solves the problem.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Not working properlyLow color images are a known issue in the current version of Google Viewer, which GDE embeds.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Google Doc Embedder & DropboxHello,
You’re getting HTML in the viewer because you’re linking to the Dropbox viewer page and not to the document itself. What happens when you follow the directions in the post directly above yours?
FWIW it works for me when I use the download link on that page you’ve linked to:
though they certainly don’t make the link pretty.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] enhanced view enabled and then it shows 403 errorUnfortunately I don’t have any more specific information than that. If you discover an answer though I’d be happy to hear it.

This was an issue for a while with HostGator hosted sites, but the web host was able to resolve it. It had something to do with a security rule on their server. You may need to contact your web host and see if they can apply a similar fix.
Here is the best description I received about the former hostgator problem: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/hostgator-known-issue-resolved?replies=3

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Would not work with WP 3.9.1GDE doesn’t include any appliances 😉
Thanks for the info about the error message. I haven’t seen any other reports of this issue and I can’t reproduce it, so can you tell me what version of PHP your server is running? I wonder if there is some incompatibility I can fix.
You can try using the plugin editor to locate the file and changing this line
'ga_category' => $env['pdata']['Name'],to
'ga_category' => 'Google Doc Embedder',This might give you a workaround. This function uses WP’s built-in get_plugin_data method though so the fact that you’re getting an error on it is quite strange.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Would not work with WP 3.9.1I’m sorry but your message doesn’t make any sense… what was the error message? There is no code to insert or denial of access included with this plugin, and it is fully compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] download limit error messagehttp://www.davistribe.org/gde/known-issues/bandwidth-limit-exceeded-error/ for more information.
All,
I’ve done my best to explain this issue here. I will update if I get any more information.
Cexilla, note the last point – hiding the download link is not intended to prevent people from finding and downloading your original file. If you don’t want people to do this, then you need to use the max-doc-security profile. Then, even if the error displays, people won’t be able to get the direct link to your document.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Google Doc Embedder & DropboxPeter,
Thanks for documenting these steps. I have this process automated in the next version of GDE, so you can just paste the HTML link and it will determine the actual file URL. But until then (and will work after that as well) this is helpful for others. Thanks!

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] PDF not showing in POST but does on PAGESGDE works on pages and posts in the same manner. There is no functional distinction at all.
Does “no luck” mean you get some kind of error, or something else? Is any part displayed (download link only, etc.)?
As a test you may want to switch momentarily to the default theme if possible just to rule out an incompatibility with whatever theme you are using.

In reply to: [Google Doc Embedder] Just disappearedYou can just log out of any Google account in your browser momentarily, that should also clear your Google cookies if you aren’t familiar with cookies in the browser. Hope this helps.
