]]>Hi all, I’m having a heck of a time getting pressbooks working. I’ve been trying for weeks, even having godaddy switch over my hosting account to different servers.
Here’s the issue as I see it,
1. I can get PB installed, (UI changes to PB red)
2. I get the Themes activated
3. network is all set up.
4. I create the new site. when you submit, it takes me to a too many redirects page.
5. I then try and access the new site using the dashboard, but takes me to same redirects page
6. I check the server, no files have been created.
What am I doing wrong here? I’ve tried installing this on my local synology server. Same conclusion. Godaddy server. same conclusion.
I really want to start using it to create eBooks, but at this point….I’ve wasted 2 weeks and had no more luck at getting it to work.
]]>Will the pressbook contents be searched and indexed by google robots?
Thank you!
]]>Hi there, just got things set up on my godaddy server. Took awhile to get the multi-site thing working. Problem now is that it doesn’t seem to export…or at least will only export out the XML file options. I’ve updated to 3.7.1, but still have the same problem.
I’m wondering if its some sort of restriction on the server. Can you recommend what to check?
]]>Hi,
I am trying to understand why does the plugin require multisite and can it be installed on a single site?
thanks
The plugin is working good on my site.
I am wondering, however, where the rest of the themes are. I see over 45+ themes at https://pressbooks.com/themes/ — but the plugin only came with 5 (which are working fine on my site).
But I don’t see any option to download more themes within the plugin, anywhere on www.ads-software.com nor on your site (https://pressbooks.com/themes/).
So how do I download more themes outside of the five that came with the plugin?
]]>Getttin an error during export to MOBI. I read in the instructions to install KindleGen but I am not sure how to do it in WP. Any suggestions?
]]>I just completed my installation following all the steps listed in the instructions.
I created my first book but I am getting an error when I try to access it.
Here is the error:
This site can’t be reached
suficientementemadre.sdjpublicaciones.com’s server DNS address could not be found.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Any suggestions?
]]>Creating the network for the multisite platform, is there any raccomandation regarding the type of network? Are Sub-domains and Sub-directories equally good for Pressbooks?
]]>Are there video file size restrictions using the plugin?
]]>Hi, thanks for this nice plugin.
Do you recommend any particular cache plugin that can work well with pressbooks?
best
I’m using Pressbooks version 2.5
I’m seeing recursion during exporting in PDF format:
In plugins/pressbooks/hook.php:
if ( \PressBooks\Book::isBook() && \PressBooks\l10n\use_book_locale() ) {
add_filter( 'locale', '\PressBooks\Export\Export::setLocale' );
} else {
add_filter( 'locale', '\PressBooks\L10n\set_locale' );
}My code executes the ‘if’ portion above, adding the \PressBooks\Export\Export::setLocale to the filters.
Then later, when the filter is applied, the export’s setLocale() calls into getBookInformation() (/plugins/pressbooks/includes/modules/export/class-pb-export() line 713), which then again, applies filters:
plugins/pressbooks/includes/class-pb-book.php line 104:
$val = apply_filters( 'the_content', $val );
And the recursion begins…
My work around is to skip the ‘if’ clause above and just use what’s in the ‘else’ part of. Is there something in our setup that’s causing this recursion?
]]>I’m a little confused regarding this plugin or using the pressbooks.com website – what’s the difference?
Thanks
]]>Why do you? I would like to use the plugin on my blog and don’t see the need to limit it to multi-blog installations.
]]>Does this plugin add watermarks and promotional content to published ebooks like the free service at freshbooks.com?
Thanks.
]]>Is there a PressBooks for single blog installations?
]]>Thank you for going opensource. But what does this mean:
Network Enable “Luther”, “Clarke”, “Donham”, “Fitzgerald”, “Austen”, “PressBooks Publisher One”, and any other PressBooks theme you want to use.
I installed the plugin. Where should I look for the themes?
]]>WordPress 3.6 is currently unsupported by PressBooks. Use at your own risk.
I’m going on holiday for a few weeks. Getting PressBooks WP 3.6
compliant will be my top priority when I get back end of the month.
For now please use 3.5.2 (or send patches.)
