Though phpinfo reports: Server API CGI/FastCGI

Am I still using DSO?

Thanks, I know we got way off track here, appreciate the info –

Ah, is that what it is… I am unfamiliar with DSO, but am reading up on it now,

Thank you

Ugh, been battling file permission errors. Had to change a lot of them to 666 and create some directories.

Still I get:

———-
Cannot write to the secure.htaccess file. Minimum file permission required is 600.
Cannot write to the default.htaccess file. Minimum file permission required is 600.
Cannot write to the maintenance.htaccess file. Minimum file permission required is 600.
Cannot write to the wpadmin-secure.htaccess file. Minimum file permission required is 600.
————

even though they are named correctly and now set to 777, can’t grant more than that ??

I’ve got about 8 sites to secure, this is going to take some time if I am going to set this plugin up on each one. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

Chris

Thank you both.

Ends up the activation issue was not related to BP. When I went to deactivate some of my current plugins I found I couldn’t do that either, they just stayed activated….

Ends up, after some investigation, I found there was a damaged table in the mysql db. PHPMyAdmin fixed it and then I was able to activate it ok.

Going through now and setting it up.

Thank you both for the feedback about other security programs as well.

Yeh, just the regular activate link is showing – I will deactivate the other plugins and see if that changes anything, then report back,

No unzipping required, I downloaded it through the plugin page.

I think my server meets the requirements, here’s a temporary link to my phpinfo: https://shoutkey.com/furor

I click on ‘activate’ and the message I get from wp at the top of the plugins page says ‘Plugin activated’ but the ‘activate’ not ‘deactivate’ link still shows for the plugin and I don’t see any settings.

Thank you all very much for your work on this!!!

I just upgraded today and when I saw the new add media box, I knew it was going to be a disaster for my users.

This fixed it up great ??

Thanks again,

Chris

I don’t see an option for using the built-in WordPress URL shorthener though.

The only options that appear on the settings are gd.is and bit.ly. Or am I overlooking something?

Thanks, I had not seen or heard of them – checking it out ??

Doesn’t look like it.

I’ve been trying to find the same thing – and haven’t quite found a solution that handles the fb comments well and puts them in the database. This one handles the FB part well, wish it stored them.

I like the way the fat panda facebook plugin worked, it does both very well – but it conflicted with other plugins I need.

Have you found a solution you like?

Hi Cooper,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I had the idea to add it to an existing plugin I was using, Peter’s Collaboration Emails. It had some code already triggered when an approval/publish took place, so we just fiddled with the code there.

Couldn’t do it on my own though, got help at EE, here’s the solution we came up with:

Thanks again!

If there isn’t anything like this now, how difficult would it be to write a plugin for it – I guess there would be a way to grab the transition and user at the time, and put that in the db?

I should mention my recent relateds is on my single.php – it may need something more if used in a sidebar.
