Hey there. I’m using Mentimeter / Ahaslides to publish slides/votes/wordclouds etc. via iframe. Unfortunately the plugin refreshes ( what it’s supposed to do ) and clears the text I’m about to enter in the textfields of the slide.
Is there any way to prevent this except from raising the refresh times?
]]>This is resolution for an unresolved topic. If you replace 'field' => 'id' with 'field' => 'slug' in the tax query, it will resolve the issue. I was fixing the issue and thought someone would need the fix, just in case plugin developer is away.
$q = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'liveblog_entry',
'liveblog' => $id,
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'orderby' => 'date',
'order' => ('bottom' == get_option('liveblogging_update_effect')) ? 'ASC' : 'DESC',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'liveblog',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $id
)
)
));I have a function that sorts posts by last modified date:
function custom_query_vars_filter($vars) {
$vars[] = 'sortby';
//$vars[] .= 'another';
return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'custom_query_vars_filter' );
function techslides_alter_query($query){
$sortby = get_query_var( 'sortby' );
if( $sortby=="modified" && !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ){
$query->set( 'orderby', 'modified' );
}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','techslides_alter_query');A ?sortbymodified gets added to the URL to return the sort order.
How can I modify the sort order of the posts to be by which post has the newest microblog post OR update?
]]>The plugin no longer can associate live entries with the correct blog post or page so they all appear on every post or page that has live blogging enabled.
]]>Hi,
This is indeed the best plugin in this domain. However, post updating, all live blog entries have mixed up and come up everytime I create a new liveblog.
Please help.
Cheers!
]]>It seams like there unfortunately is no way to set the order the entries are being shown indivually on a case-by-case basis … Or does anyone know a solution for this?
When blogging live, it makes sense to put the most recent entry on top. But when the event is over and the whole live blog posting goes to the archive, it usually makes much more sense if the whole entry stream is reversed, hence being displayd in a chronogical order, starting with the oldest entry.
So my suggestion is: Add an option to reverse the order when the live blogging is done, either automatically when the “Enable Live Blog” option in the master posting is being disabled or offer a manual way to override the standard setting for entry order, maybe from within the shortcode:
something like [liveblog liveblogging_update_effect=”bottom”]
which can be set manually, e.g. as soon as the live event is over and I want a different order for the entries.
Good idea? Bad idea? I’d love to see a feature like this for a future version. And thanks very much so far for this great plugin!
]]>Is there a way to get the title of the master blog post from within each of the live blog entries?
I’d like to automatically post every single live blog entry to Facebook (or simply do a RSS feed with all the live blog entries) but would love to have a title there, hence I’d simply like to put the overall title of the live blogging event there …
My goal is to have a single post entry, that looks somewhat like this:
Update: [DATE-TIME] [TITLE OF THE LIVE BLOG EVENT]
[AUTHOR]
[CONTENT]
But I couldn’t find any way to retrieve the blog event’s title (i.e. the WP post that includes the Shortcode) for this …
Please, any hint or suggestion would help!
Thanks!
]]>This looks like a great plugin, thanks.
I’ve noticed a small issue however. If I want to disable a live blog (stop any more posts being added) I untick the ‘enable live bloggin on this post’ checkbox. However I’ve found that I can still add live entries to that post, though it does appear that the updates do stop being posted to anyone viewing the live blog.
Have I done something wrong here?
Thanks!

]]>How can I customize the display of the live blog, or post the same liveblog on multiple pages?
I need one version to show only the last 10 posts, and I’d simply like to have more control.
]]>I’m using Pressgram to allow a team to upload photos to my WP site and I want to use Live Blogging to display these photos live.
The problem is that when Pressgram creates the post (and I can make it create a liveblog entry), the post isn’t assigned to a live blog, so it won’t automatically show up.
How can I make these custom post types automatically be included in a specific live blog? What meta information do I need to add in the post-creation process, and what is that code for it? I’m fine modifying either Pressgram or Live Blogging (Plus) for this.
]]>How do I make this list custom post types automatically? I’m implementing a special CPT for live photos (populated by Pressgram), and I just need this plugin (or the unofficial “plus” version) to include the custom post types.

]]>Took the Twitter authentication fix (by cheche) and added some code to add the live blog url to the Twitter update and created a new version of this plugin, since there don’t seem to be many good live blogging plugins available, and the plugin author seems to have abandoned this project.
You can download it here: https://vidyut.net/downloads/
I will try and submit it to the repository So that there is at least one alternative for live blogging that works on WP 3.8 (without embedding a live blog hosted elsewhere).
I am not experienced with coding, so no idea how the submitting process happens, in the meanwhile this plugin works with WordPress version 3.8 and tweets the status update with hashtag (if any) and link to liveblog without any problems. I am using it at https://aamjanata.com

I really like this plugin but today i tested it first in action. I have a problem in default mode (poll mode). After refresh, in 10 seconds commas disappear from the text which is very annoying. Could you help me please?

https://www.eyeonannapolis.net/2013/11/16/live-blog-navy-vs-south-alabama/
When I embed a tweet into the post, on the user end, the tweets “jump”. I suspect this is the AJAX and the page trying to refresh and re-loading the tweets, but is there any way to make them stay still? The issue is not present with images.
I am unable to type in the composition box on a iPad via Chrome. In the above link, I want to take a photo with my iPad and embed it, but when I go to create a new entry, the keyboard pops up, but the box is non-responsive. So, I have been emailing-or texting photos to myself and doing it that way as a workaround. (How I work here is the laptop is open and creating and live images captured by the other device)
Thanks for any help. Great plug-in–love it!

]]>Hello,
Live Blogging plugin in not working. I have configured all the settings but I am not able to find the problem. It was working fine previously but I don’t not what is the problem now.
Please help.
Thank You!!
]]>Hi, i’m wondering whether it is already possible to quickly post images from an Android (or iOS)-Smartphone. It would be fantastic if the official WordPress app had a feature that allowed one-click text and picture-posting. Or if there was at least an API within the plugin that allows app-developers to write something on their own.
]]>hey the plugin auto update doesn’t work after updating to wordpress 3.5.2 any ideas?
Thanks
]]>When running the Live Blogging plugin (version 2.2.5), where the posts are being followed by a number of people, the server on which this site is hosted is being overload by requests for the following file:
/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Having looked at the logs from within the control panel, a high number of the ‘hits’ on that file are from my own ip address but the majority come from what appear to be the live readers of the blog.
Our host has had to block access to that file in order to stop the server overloading.
The site is https://www.tellywitter.com
The server only starts to receive high numbers of hits to that file when the live blog is started and running. When the site is not live blogging, there is no problem with over loading.
I’m really happy to provide any other information which would be useful to help solve this.
Kind regards,
Pip.

Hi
First, congratulations, this is a great plugin and i really love it.
However, when i publish a video link this automatically turns into a embed video (if it is a youtube link), this is fine, and works ok for me but, when i want to watch this video from the liveblog, it always stops because page refreshing, that makes me sense because page ir reloading but… is there a way to avoid this?
I’m currently using the poll default method for live updating.
Excuse my english, and thanks for your help.

]]>the “Live Blog” button that appears next to the “Add Image” button on top of the rich editor is not quite so evident, because it appears just as text.
adding the standard WP class “button” to the a tag makes it stand out more.

// Insert live blog button on rich editor
function live_blogging_insert_liveblog_button($context) {
$additional = '<a style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="live_blog_insert_shortcode();">Live Blog</a>';
return $context . $additional;

return $context . $additional;
}
add_action('media_buttons_context', 'live_blogging_insert_liveblog_button');now the “Live Blog” text appears similar to a standard WP button.
]]>hi Chris
where can i send you an italian translation of your plugin’s .po and .mo files?
Max
L.S.,
I encountered a quite annoying oversight in the offered ‘unhooking of filters’-functionality.
The Live-blogging plugin poses that it provides a way to unhook filters from the_content. However, it only allow for unhooking of global namespace functions, not for the unhooking of class methods – which is the more commonly used/preferred way of building plugins-.
I’ve rewritten the relevant code to allow for both functions and class methods.
You will need to replace the function live_blogging_get_entry() in the
/wp-content/plugins/live-blogging/live-blogging.php file (line 1068 – line 1110 in v2.2.6) with the code I provide you with here:
https://pastebin.com/H9q2je9Z
Once the function has been replaced, the user can add the following to the Live Blogging Settings -> Advanced Settings to make the unhooking work for class method:
class_object_variable_name, method_name
where class_object_variable_name is the variable name of the instantiatied object in the global namespace.
Hope this helps & that you will include this fix in the next version of the plugin.
Smile,
Juliette
What does live blogging use so I can make a theme around my live blogging? Custom post type or metakey?
Thanks,
]]>I love this plugin, but I’ve got a little problem.
I use it for shorter news updates and I use the RSS-function to get the updates on the front page. But is it possible to make some sort of a title so it doesn’t ‘destroy’ the RSS-feed?
If my text update is:
“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean scelerisque auctor nisi eu molestie. Sed eleifend accumsan gravida. Ut aliquam ipsum a urna aliquam scelerisque at malesuada enim. Morbi accumsan sem sit amet nisi mollis congue. Ut vel feugiat felis. Vestibulum placerat est ac nulla vestibulum facilisis. Cras gravida diam quis justo hendrerit adipiscing. Nunc augue justo, ultricies et viverra nec, ornare ut neque. Sed et arcu orci. Praesent ac lectus a sapien vulputate tristique. Maecenas scelerisque congue mauris id fermentum.”
This will result in a very long RSS feed title. Is it possible to somehow make it shorter or do something so the title for instance only would be “Lorem Ipsum” but the update would be in full lenght?
