In reply to: Video Library Site QuestionHi, @benxmy!
It looks like the Vimegraphy plugin can help you here – it will automatically recognise new videos added to the linked Vimeo account, and allow you to create video galleries for your client’s customers to look through.
Outside of existing plugins, however, this kind of automatic video population will require some mildly tricky custom development. If you’re not comfortable doing this development yourself, I would recommend contacting a Vimeo plugin developer to see if they’re available to do perform this custom work.

In reply to: Integrate wordpress with large HTML siteHi @niveditha!
You can absolutely do this! If you rename your
index.htmlto something else (say,archive.html), you can link to that file from within your WordPress install, and allow WordPress’index.phpto take care of everything else.WordPress will continue to respect your existing HTML pages – it won’t try to override any existing filenames, so your HTML pages will still be readable by your visitors, and crawl-able by robots.

In reply to: Fatal Error – Lost AccessHi, @foodalogue!
get_the_author_posts_link()is a new function added in WordPress 4.4, but it seems your theme has its own implementation of that function.It looks like this is a custom theme for your site. To get your site working, you’ll need to edit the
com_functions.phpfile in your theme, to remove this function.Here’s some more information about editing files in your theme: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files
If you’re not comfortable editing this file yourself, you’ll need to contact your website developer to make the change for you.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] updating premium themesYour programmer should be able to add it, though I’m not at all familiar with the theme to be able to give specific instructions.
It should be able to work with revolution slider, or any other theme or plugin.
You can remove a plugin by hooking into the
pre_set_site_transient_update_pluginsfilter and removing the plugin from the$value->responsearray, instead.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] updating premium themesUnfortunately, it’s not possible to add support for plugins and themes outside of the WordPress.org repo to the plugin.
The good news is, the udesign theme author can add support to their theme! I’ve written a short tutorial here:

In reply to: Two Update options going from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2Thanks for the bug report! This is a known bug in the 4.1 series, it’ll be fixed with 4.2, due out this week. 🙂

In reply to: WP 4.1 : save draft / auto-save failureHi there!
This bug has been fixed for WordPress 4.2. (See this ticket.)
Some parts of it will potentially be backported to a 4.1.x release (though it won’t be in 4.1.1). We don’t have a release schedule for that at the moment.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Plugin updateIt seems like this plugin may be downloading its own updates, which is against the WordPress plugin directory policy. I’ll pass it onto the review team for further investigation.
Thanks for pointing it out!

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Plugin updateBy default, plugins don’t update themselves.
Could you provide a list of the plugins that have automatically updated without you clicking on them?

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] 3rd party premium pluginsHi Jodi!
Advanced Automattic Updates uses WordPress’ core update routines to do the updates – plugins hosted on WordPress.org are registered with these routines automatically, but 3rd party plugins need to register themselves manually. I wrote a tutorial about this, here:
http://pento.net/2013/07/02/commercial-plugin-updates-done-right/
If you’d like to see BackupBuddy take advantage of these routines, please pass this link on to the BackupBuddy developers. You’re also welcome to pass on my email address (gary@pento.net), I’m happy to work with them if they run into any problems.

In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Keep files in plugin directoryThis isn’t possible with WordPress – plugin upgrades (even when you click the upgrade button manually) happen exactly as you describe.
If your custom file is PHP, then I’d recommend creating your own custom plugin to contain it. If it’s an image, consider putting it in
wp-content/uploads, where it won’t be touched by upgrades.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Advanced Automatic Updates] Does plugin only update WordPress Repo plugins?It can work with 3rd party plugins, but they need to use WordPress’ update routines, not their own code.
If there’s a plugin you want to see work with Automatic Updates, send the developers this link, for how to fix their update code:
http://pento.net/2013/07/02/commercial-plugin-updates-done-right/
That’s correct, all the updating is handled by WordPress Core, now. What were you using auto_updater_plugin_updates for? There may be a way to get the same functionality from Core.
