Regarding the plugin not working

Hi there, I submitted a pull request to your project. I seem to have gotten your plugin fixed and working for myself and wanted to get others on their way too.

If anyone wants to download my patch you can do so here:

Thanks for the help! I’m a bit flat out at the moment but will try to review it soon.

I’ve merged Bret’s changes and made a couple of additional tweaks. If the plugin is not working for you go to Settings and add your Endpoint URL. If you don’t know it you should be able to find it for the trial version here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/try/cognitive-services/my-apis/

If you have signed up for azure, you can get the API keys and Endpoint from the Azure Portal: https://portal.azure.com/

Sign in, select your Cognitive Services resource and go to the Overview and it will appear under “Essentials”.

If you have not added a resource yet, you can get an endpoint and API key by clicking Create a Resource, selecting AI + Machine Learning and then finally Computer Vision. Enter a name, choose a subscription and pricing tier (A free tier will be available if you’re not already using it) and click Create, down the bottom. Now you will see the resource on the dashboard and can find your keys and endpoint by clicking it and going to the tab. They will appear under “Essentials”.

Hi, great that you updated the plugin.

In my case it is not working.
I tried both v1 and v2 endpoints and both keys provided, but nothing happened.
Also checked what is in plugin’s FAQ – still nothing.
Disabled all the plugins except AAT – null.

Do u have any other what could be the reason?

Thank you
as

@skroboladam Can I just ask what the endpoint URLs you’re using look like? They should look like this:

https://australiaeast.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/vision/v1.0

But australiaeast will be whatever region you set yourself up on. If you’re just using the trial I believe it should be https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/vision/v1.0.

And just for some more detail can you let me know how you obtained your key? Did you get it through the Azure Portal, or did you sign up for a trial here?

If you’re on the WordPress Slack you could send me your API Key and Endpoint URL to test with if you’d like.

Well, it looks like after plugin reinstall it works just fine.

The endpoint is exactly like you wrote – https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/vision/v1.0 – it is a trial API.

Thanks!
Great plugin!

Happy to hear it! Can’t think of a reason why a reinstall would be necessary, but I’m glad it helped.

Hi,

I hate to reopen a resolved feed but I’m having the same issue with the plugin not working. I have the endpoints and api set, seem to have the same issue @skroboladam was having without the fix. Installed, created azure account, entered endpoint and api, uploaded an image but nothing is entered nor happened. Please help.

If you enter the URL to the image on this page do you get a result?

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/services/cognitive-services/computer-vision/

yes, but nothing is showing up in the media logs in the alt text area. I get the same result for all images in that test link you provided, but nothing is appearing or being entered for indexing site wise. I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong.

Are you able to share one (or more) of the images you’re attempting to use with me so I can do some testing?

Do you have slack or another means of communication for troubleshooting other then this forum?

Any updates? I have checked the endpoints and created the resource in my Azure dashboard to make sure the endpoint and key are true, which they are. Still having zero luck with the plugin working.

@guardian88 Sorry mate, I’ve been away and haven’t had an opportunity to respond. The plugin is offered for free and I don’t promise any support, as it’s a side project and not my full-time job, let alone live chat support, but I’ll try and help out when I have the opportunity,

That being said, I have just tested the plugin again by creating a new WordPress install, installing a fresh copy of the plugin from the repository, and entering my API details into the Media settings.

When I uploaded the image you linked to, I successfully received a caption: “A sign on the side of a building”:

View post on imgur.com

And this was with the default confidence threshold of 15%.

Can you make sure that you’re entering the correct details. When you create your resource you should see a screen like this. The Endpoint URL setting should be the Endpoint you see in the red box. The API key should be one of the two keys that you’ll be given when clicking Show access keys….

Also please note, as mentioned on the plugin page, that the plugin does not provide captions for images that have already been uploaded. You will need to upload the image after activating the plugin.

If all of that is ok, can you please check the demo page again, but this time using the URL of the image after uploading to your site, to make sure there aren’t any issues with the API reading from your server.
