]]>I encountered a problem with the images not appearing in WordPress, so I did some research. This task took days, and I found little to no solutions on the issue. Any answers I found didn’t work. I got an inkling of an idea that I’d be able to rescue my images from Digital Ocean with the Basic Plan’s import function, so I purchased the basic plan.

When I first set up Media Cloud, I originally went with DigitalOcean as my cloud storage provider. However, due to some issues (the images uploaded wouldn’t show up in WordPress) and other financial problems, I switched my storage to Amazon S3. It appears I have also set up Imgix as well. Now, the images do not appear in the media gallery as thumbnails, but they don’t appear live on the site either.
I have signed up for the basic plan to utilize the import from cloud function, as I haven’t been successful in solving this issue. Could I get help with:
Retrieving the files from DigitalOcean
Importing the files back into the gallery
Relocating the images to Amazon S3
Ensuring the images are adequately served on both the front end and back end?
Thank you so much!
I didn’t get a response. About a week later, I figured out the solution by myself.
On that same day I purchased the basic plan, I noticed I hadn’t gotten the pro activation email. So, I reached out:

Hello, I’ve purchased the premium version of Media Cloud through the Freemius portal and haven’t received a receipt nor a license email to activate the premium version of MC. Could I get help with this issue?
Still, nothing.
I reached out to the biller (Freemius) and was told that there was an error on my end blocked the email from coming through. So, I added the domain to my safelist, added the email to my contact list, and tried their solution.
Nothing.
I reached back out to talk to them and haven’t heard back after two attempts, almost a week apart (of course, I didn’t want to blow up their inbox)—still, nothing.
This has been the most frustrating experience I’ve had with a plugin so far, especially one that I paid for under the assumption that the solution to my issue was locked behind a paywall.
Don’t…don’t buy any of the plans. It’s bad enough to get absolutely no communication, but to pull teeth AND pay for a product you don’t get? Dang.

Help, please.

]]>In order to get it to insert ads in bbpress you have to add an “insertion after HTML element” which then causes it to insert 10 ads in a WPRM recipe card.
There doesn’t appear to be a way to make them compatible. I was forced to disable ads on all pages containing the WPRM shortcode and insert them manually.
This is not a long-term solution.
]]>I am setting up a site for a volunteer organization. One feature we would like to incorporate is a way of setting up activities (ie: Meetings, Projects, Events) and log which registered users participated in those activities. All members will be registered users of the site. The output would allow the Admins to see:
1) List of individual users participating in individual activities.
2) Users would see a list of individual activities they have participated in.
3) Count of activities by type per individual user.
So far, all of the attendance and event tracking are for generic visitors or to sell tickets to an event, which I don’t have. None of them so far has the ability for the site Admins to check off or enter a name of users that attended an event, let alone see any reasonable output.
Anyone have any suggestions?
]]>I really like the new Gutenberg editor. I can really see the immediate benefits in the initial rollout and I can see the potential as well.
As someone who regularly trains “average users” in content management using WordPress, my first impression is excellent. Watching a rookie use the Gutenberg editor on first attempt they seem to get the hang of it so much faster than the old editor. The blocks seem natural to them, drag and drop features are great, being able to re-arrange blocks and add new blocks in between blocks etc. makes the end user feel they are really in control of the layout. The clean and responsive interface is great and it’s very user-friendly and a lot of it is self-explanatory.
New users seem to get the hang of Gutenberg quite quickly just being hovering their cursor around the icons. Watching new users try to get their head around the old editor was at times exhausting! I felt their pain and tried to remind myself that unlike me, they can’t just switch to the HTML tab – it’s a foreign language.
I think too many of the complaints about Gutenberg forget that it’s not a website builder for developers to manage theme styles/design/layouts. It’s a content editor for managing articles and page content.
Combining the new Gutenberg editor with a website builder like Elementor has been very successful. It’s the best of both worlds – initial template (header and footer) and style/design management with Elementor and daily/regular content management and post writing with Gutenberg.
I’m really looking forward to Phase II of Gutenberg with “navigation” blocks and renaming the widget section “Sidebars” as it should have always been. That way we can finally do away with the confusing terms “widget” and “menu”. No more widgets, just different types of flexible blocks!
Well done!
]]>I set up my own domain, I managed to set up some of WordPress. I even managed to copy across some posts I had made on Facebook. Then all of a sudden I can’t edit my page. I don’t know enough about code or about wordpress but have even tried to work out things on my hosting site. Nothing is working. I just wanted to blog, simply and easily.
I also don’t understand why my site has wp at the end, how do I remove this?
Can anyone offer any advice before I cancel my domain and close my WordPress account?
I do admit responsibility even though my title says I’m sad and disappointed at WordPress, I do know it’s most likely that I just don’t know what I’m doing.
This is how my dashboard looks:
