Since I use `"site.com/year/month/day/post- title"` as a URL scheme, when I change the date, the URL changes too. But the post number never changes. I’d rather that be the actual URL that YouRLs keeps in its database. * Again, thanks so much for your work on your plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[YOURLS Link Creator] Should this plugin grab existing Yourls short URLs?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-this-plugin-grab-existing-yourls-short-urls/) * [starrwulfe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starrwulfe/) * (@starrwulfe) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/should-this-plugin-grab-existing-yourls-short-urls/page/2/#post-3266783) * Sorry about that.

I recently updated some of my links to give them custom names, and also moved my server from testing to production– getting rid of the old “test” subdomain. * Is it possible to make a batch process that would go through and check for updated shortlinks in the YouRLs database and change them in wordpress? also maybe adding a similar function in the meta box for individual posts? * Thanx! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Subdomains (Revisited)] Option is not saved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/option-is-not-saved/) * [starrwulfe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starrwulfe/) * (@starrwulfe) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/option-is-not-saved/#post-3204671) * Can you please tell me the steps you took to solve this?

It’s on Blip.TV and Ustream! So I need a plugin that can embed those for me. I’ve tried just about all the plugins that give that functionality, but can’t seem to find anything that will also work with Blip or Ustream. And even if it did, I also want to be able to put the video in a modal like lightbox and just use a thumbnail in a gallery… Well I’ve figured out one half of the solution… * oEmbed. Ever heard of it? It’s a developing standard that a lot of rich media providers are starting to support for getting things like video/audio/pictures/ documents into webpages, without content creators like us having to either drop in the `` or `` html or having to have a ton of plugins that only work for one thing and not another… * WordPress already has something called the `[embed]` tag where you can put a URL for YouTube, Vimeo, and a few others and it’ll auto embed it in the post. Well a startup called [embed.ly](http://www.embed.ly) has a plug in that will do that for 155 (and growing everyday) providers. Here’s the big thing though… Their API will PULL THE THUMBNAIL AUTOMATICALLY if requested. Test their api at [http://api.embedly.com](http://api.embedly.com) with any URL you can think of for YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Daily Motion, CNN… You’ll see what I mean. They have a WORDPRESS PLUGIN that I use in the posting section AND the comments area of my blogs. All you have to do is just leave a valid URL to a content provider on it’s own line, and it auto expands… Even in the comments area (useful for when people want to leave video comments * It gets better. Also it seems someone already took a step in the right direction by building a thumbnailer API based on Embed.ly [http://thumbnailer.nxccs.com/](http://thumbnailer.nxccs.com/) Thumbnailer is a free service which finds or generates thumbnails from anything, from images, to webpages, to YouTube videos. Thumbnailer is also free software, released under the GNU Affero General Public Licence. If you’re interested in the source code of this service, it’s available on Github. we can use this API to just pull in thumbs for everything, and use the raw embed.ly plugin to embed media. * If this appeals to you, let me know. I’m trying to get some people on-board to help me make and test the plugin… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Video Thumbnails] [Plugin: Video Thumbnails] Upload thumbnail and use it as the thumbnail of the post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-upload-thumbnail-and-use-it-as-the-thumbnail-of-the-post/) * [starrwulfe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starrwulfe/) * (@starrwulfe) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-video-thumbnails-upload-thumbnail-and-use-it-as-the-thumbnail-of-the-post/#post-1779142) * Don’t worry about that Niska. I’m thinking about writing a plugin that will be an end-all solution for this sort of thing. I need a way to do this exact same thing for all my video too… Problem is, the vast majority of plugins only support YouTube or Vimeo. I use Blip.tv to host most of my studio portfolio. * I don’t know how to program in PHP, but I’m learning it specifically to make an embedding plugin that also works with lightbox and also delivers thumbnails and will make those thumbs the Featured Image if needed. If anyone wants to help me with this endevor, please do– I plan on giving it away, as I know so many want to do this very thing. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Viper's Video Quicktags] Automatic Thumbnails for VVQ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-vipers-video-quicktags-automatic-thumbnails-for-vvq/) * [starrwulfe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starrwulfe/) * (@starrwulfe) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-vipers-video-quicktags-automatic-thumbnails-for-vvq/#post-1378884) * Hey… Why not just use [Embedly’s API?](http://api.embed.ly) * Someone already built a thumbnailing engine on their API… you can just drop that in with a few lines of extra code to call up the thumbs…. * Check it out: [http://thumbnailer.nxccs.com/](http://thumbnailer.nxccs.com/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: Viper's Video Quicktags] Automatic Thumbnails for VVQ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-vipers-video-quicktags-automatic-thumbnails-for-vvq/) * [starrwulfe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starrwulfe/) * (@starrwulfe) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-vipers-video-quicktags-automatic-thumbnails-for-vvq/#post-1378880) * Yeah– - +∞ * for me on this… * If I knew how to code like this (and also had the time to do it) I’d make a code that would grab the thumbnail image as an option and then upon clicking, opened the resulting video in a lightbox… Why has no one made something like this yet? * maybe something like `[videosite:t 123XXX]` where “videosite” would be the usual name of the video host, then the “:t” argument indicates that this will be a thumbnail instead of the usual video embed. upon clicking, it’ll open the link in a separate window, but if you have one of the many lightbox plugins, it can open up in a lightbox by just doing `[lightbox][videosite:t 123XXX][/lightbox]` * My 2¢ * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Disqus Comment System] [Plugin: Disqus Comment System] Sync doesn't seem to work for the comments.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-disqus-comment-system-sync-doesnt-seem-to-work-for-the-comments/) * [starrwulfe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starrwulfe/) * (@starrwulfe) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-disqus-comment-system-sync-doesnt-seem-to-work-for-the-comments/#post-1694273) * …Ditto… I’m getting the same issue here. I have multiple programs on [my site](http://jlgatewood.com) that snatch comments from facebook and twitter and bring them back to my site and appear threaded in the comment stream. It only works with the local wordpress database. * I read somewhere there’s a cron job that tackles this. Where can I alter the cron job to run the sync every 30 minutes?
