I found a fix to this by adding the following lines of code at the end of my wp-config.php file in the root WP directory:

if(is_admin()) {
	add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
	define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
}

Can anyone explain what the issue would be that would require this fix?

Awesome! I’m hoping by cleared the database you were referring to the version only and not the messages as this should not happen. Glad we could solve that bug. Now on to these suggestions! You can expect an update with the next couple weeks.

Feel free to rate/review if you’d like.

I have contacted plugin support regarding this issue. You can de-activate and delete the plugin then re-install it. Make sure Clear database on De-activate is disabled. (It is by default) This will allow you to re-install the plugin to the latest version.

UPDATE: I have edited the way the authors name is pulled from the database. If you are still having problems after updating, I recommend (if possible) to follow the steps above.

Hmm, that is odd. It’s working on my end. If you have access to your database could you show me what one of the rows in the (prefix which is typically wp_)”authordiscuss” table?

This will help me understand what is going wrong in the process of selecting and assigning user information.

Hi Aurele, sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Currently the names of the authors should be displayed by the timestamp. If it does not if you wouldn’t mind posting a screenshot that would be appreciated.

A widget for the messages (to display on the home admin page) is planned, currently everyone will be notified at the admin bar when a new message is posted.

Editing and deleting messages is definitely on the list.

You need to fix your tables in your database. A result of not doing so could mean loss of data. Run the following SQL query to fix the table ‘wp-postmeta’:
REPAIR TABLE "wp_postmeta"

If this doesn’t fix your issue I would recommend rebuilding this table using a backup.

I have no answer for the reasoning of your corrupted table/lost menu.

You’re very welcome Mark. Glad I could help solve my issue and bring the fix to the plug-in. ??

No issue here. Maybe some incompatibility with your theme? That’s the only other thing I could think could be causing this.

YouTube automatically creates thumbnails at these resolutions. Unfortunately there isn’t any other images created nor stored on YouTube’s servers.

That’s great news! Glad I could help!

Also, another note. This current incompatibility slightly breaks every RSS feed with WordPress 3.8.

You could always upload your YouTube thumbnail to your website, then under the Social options in SEO for the post, select your thumbnail. This will show it for your post. For more info on how to obtain your YouTube thumbnail: click here.

Note: If you have already tried to link your current post, Facebook may have a cache stored in their database. Meaning unless the URL changes, it may not pick up any future changes.

The issue has been resolved. It is an incompatibility with a plugin I had installed.

For more info, read this support thread.

Now I am getting a 404 error trying to find my sitemap_index.xml file. Interesting. Anyone at all have any thoughts on the matter?

EDIT: A temporary fix was just enabling/disabling the sitemap XML function in the SEO settings. But I am still having the XML declaration issue. Any ideas as to which files need to be looked at? Eg. What theme files are called when this XML file is produced?
