There is no native function to do this, but you can code an upload function to use the upload directory.

for now, if you want to run it as a widget you can add:

class OurProgress extends WP_Widget {
	function OurProgress() {
		$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'our_progress', 'description' => 'Our Progress' );
		$this->WP_Widget('our_progress', 'Our Progress', $widget_ops);
	}

	function widget($args, $instance) {
		extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
		 echo show_ourprogress_graphic();}

	function update($new_instance, $old_instance) {}
	function form($instance) {}
}
register_widget('OurProgress');

To your functions.php file and it’ll register the plugin as a Widget, if anybody knows how to add this to the plugin file to be automatic, I’d love some help.

I’ve recently been working on how to do this as a widget and almost think I have it ??

I’ll let you know as soon as I know for sure but I’m having a problem registering it.

It feels better, much less intrusive. If you add a dark border to the square images I think it’s a great little site. Chris

Jen, I love the header!

I’d increase the size of the body type a couple points as well as as the line spacing

font-size: 14px;
line-height: 18px;

that should do it, and I’d also get rid of the annoying smiley face in the bottom right corner with this handy plugin https://regentware.com/software/web-based/wordpress-plugins/wp-stats-smiley-remover/

Looks great, except the “Are you happy” window was open by default, it’s very difference from the rest of the design and looked out of place.

I’ve written a blog piece on how I accomplished this https://www.thisismyurl.com/tutorials/wordpress-help/how-do-i-bulk-import-into-feedwordpress/

If you could describe your problem in a little more detail, I’d love to help you out.

I just tried in FireFox as well and it’s not working for 2.9.1 on a Mac.

I’ve just downloaded 2.9.1 and when I click the Edit link (beside Publish) is results in an addition to the query string (post.php?action=edit&post=373#edit_timestamp) but not the usual AJAX style edit options.

In the mean time, I can save as a Draft and then do a Quick Edit from the posts list to set the date but it seems like a rather cumbersome step.

Sean, there was nothing dishonest intended in this plugin, there was an error which caused the wrong form (the donation form) to be triggered instead of the save form. I appreciate your concern and would invite anyone who’s unintentionally made a donation from this (or any) of my plugins to email me for a refund, my contact details are on https://www.thisismyurl.com.

Sure it’s legal, but it depends on what you’re using it for. When you autoblog it’s important that you understand what you’re doing it for and how your doing it.

I have an extensive article at How to autoblog which talks about the process but, as I say in the article it’s not about stealing content it’s about automating processes.

For example, my partner and I run a website named https://tinkerpriestmedia.com which automatically syphons content from our other two websites https://bavotasan.com and https://thisismyurl.com for the sidebar. This is a fantasic use for autoblogging, as would be a car dealership automatically grabbing data from their supplier etc.

Thanks Pompey_John, no I don’t have an answer yet but if it’s possible this would be a lifesaver.

Hi Sean,

If you’d like to post your alterations here, I would be happy to add the new code to the next version and course credit you with the changes. I really appreciate you pointing out these limitations and completely agree.

It’s often funny, I’ve been running this code successfully on over a dozen client websites for the past few months and never encountered problems. It just goes to show how many variables have to be taken into consideration whenever you publish a plugin such as this.

Thanks again for pointing these out, I look forward to adding some improvements to the code right away!

Chris

Hi BloggerSavvy, could you send me a message with the details? I’ve tested the plugin and it works on my websites, but if there’s a problem I’d love to fix it up right away. Chris
