In reply to: [TheThe Image Slider] Issues since moving to 3.5Commented out the code using bulk comment tags, so this:
wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' ); wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js', false, '1.6.4'); wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );Becomes this:
/*wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' ); wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js', false, '1.6.4'); wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); */Works like a charm. Thank you!
Just adding this for anyone with the same problem:
This plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-link-to-facebook/Fills the gap with Publicize. I left the other Publicize functions running, and simply disabled the Facebook connection. Everything works together quite smoothly.
If Publicize gets to a point where I can use it with my chosen thumbnail management system, I’ll be back in a heartbeat – I LOVE it.
While I certainly cannot ask you to fundamentally change the way the feature works to accommodate the plugin I use, can you suggest a way to set default featured images by category or author?
I have six contributors putting up dozens of posts at all hours of the day, seven days a week. I’m looking to automate the process as much as possible, particularly with regard to sharing posts. The thumbnails, as you know, are a huge part of that.
I have found no solutions, except for Default Thumbnail Plus. If I have to change how I do the thumbnails to make Publicize work, so be it, but manually adding the SAME thumbnail every time is just counterproductive.
I heartily and humbly welcome suggestions. I am so close to full automation on this, and this is the final step.
Thank you so much for all you do. It is appreciated.
EDIT: I forgot that Featured Images change the header when you view posts.
You know, I may just have to abandon the Publicize feature if there’s no way around using a feature image (as inserting the same image inside multiple posts by author or category is simply not a feasible solution).
Whoops! Sorry! 🙁 I went ahead and published something new that will stay up for troubleshooting.
I use Default Thumbnail Plus to manage the thumbnails, and facebook references those specified images for every other type of sharing I can find.

Shows that the native sharing for Jetpack shows the thumbnail, but not the Publicize feature. So, Jetpack’s native manual sharing buttons recognize the thumbnails (although I have no idea what tags that uses).
Just ran a test post – same issue:

“TEST ONLY”
:/ I really, really appreciate that you guys are working on it, though. Thank you x1000.
I’ll run post tests as much as you need.
I also want to make it clear that this is easily the best new feature of Jetpack in a long, LONG time. This, at worst, is a cosmetic annoyance. Hope it gets fixed soon. Also, I’m glad it isn’t just me. 🙂
Absolutely! 🙂

Take a look at the two most recent posts, both of which were pushed by WordPress’ Publicize feature.
The same thing, Beau. I’m going to raise an “invalid argument” flag on that, because Jetpack’s own other sharing buttons CAN see the thumbnails. It’s exclusive to the Publicize feature.
I just applied the new update, and it still isn’t working. You guys did a lot of work on the other bugs, so, I’m not complaining that the update didn’t fix it – just making the problem current.

In reply to: Is there any way to set a default featured image by author?I’ve had good success with this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/default-thumbnail-plus/
By adding a category with the author’s nae, and making all applicable categories fall under that, then setting a default image to the category, it works wonderfully.
