Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. That feature does not currently exist but is a great idea for a future version. I will keep that in mind for development. Thank you.

In general, if you have a question, comment, or support request, you can use the official plugin page on my website: https://andrewensley.com/projects/youtube-feeder-wordpress-plugin/

Thanks for the info, Ticketbud. Hopefully “soon” doesn’t take too long.

Is there any response from the WordPress developers on this?

Also, could someone remove the “[resolved]” tag from this thread? The problem is clearly not resolved.

This is really weird. When I searched for those terms I got 0 results. Then I noticed the sort parameter in the URL and did some investigating.

Depending on the “Sort by” option you choose, you get a completely different set of results.

Examples:

• <Search terms> | <Sort by> | <Number of results>
• youtube feeder | Relevance | 0
• youtube feeder | Highest Rated | 292
• youtube feeder | Newest | 328
• youtube feeder | Most Popular | 322
• feeder | Newest | 12
• feeder | Highest Rated | 10
• youtubefeeder | Relevance | 0
• youtubefeeder | Highest Rated | 1

Surely this cannot be the intended functionality.

Anyway, it’s good to actually be in the index now :-). Thanks.

Hi again. It’s officially been two weeks, and my plugin still does not show in search results.

Help! Thanks.

Otto, Thanks for the info. I didn’t mean to be impatient. I had no previous indication that it was supposed to take that long.

It might be a good idea to have that information displayed somewhere on the Developer Center page. Or maybe not; just a thought.

I’ll wait a couple weeks and post back here if there’s still a problem.

Thanks!

FYI:

I waited 24 hours and my plugin still did not show up in search results. I e-mailed [email protected] yesterday at 7:52pm (CDT, GMT -05:00).

I have not received a response yet. I don’t mean to pester. I just want to make sure my e-mail didn’t get eaten by the spam filters or something.

My plugin still does not show in search results.

I see that the display is fixed on the plugin page. Thanks for fixing that. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t show in search results.

Is there just a delay in the fix extending to the plugin search, or is there another problem?

Thank you!

I should have mentioned in my initial post: I always run my readme through that validator before committing anything to the SVN.

Every time, I receive the message: “Your readme.txt rocks. Seriously. Flying colors.”

And the “Tags” and “Contributor” sections display the expected information.

If it’s a problem with my readme file, the validator isn’t catching it.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with validation. The idea of the plugin is to vary the way the links are hidden as much as possible in order to prevent spammers from catching on.

I tried to make the code completely XHTML valid except for one case: an invisible div (block-level element) inside the anchor (inline element).

I figured variance was more important than validation. In the next version, I’ll add an option for whether or not to use XHTML invalid links.

If you don’t mind, could you point out which link formats were invalid and how they should be fixed (since you mentioned most of them were invalid)?
