I’m sorry but I can’t reproduce the error, it simply works fine. If I don’t, I can’t fix it.
Please give me more information you can. WordPress version, php version. A sample txt file that you have used.. whatever infos or hint you think it could be useful.

I’m working right now on an update, also involving the Manual mode, but if I can’t hunt down the bug, you may experience the same issue.

Another thing quite trivial.. Did you try to uninstall/reinstall both plugins? The right way to uninstall PVD is to deactivate it, then remove plugin files.

Ehm… As I said in my previous post, I did the tests with “Manual check” button and I did not find any errors. The Auto thumbnail plugin works fine: the image is retrieved, resized and set as featured.

At this point, since I used an older free version, I think the issue could be related to the PRO version of the plugin. I do not have it and I can’t do much.
Another try is to disable all plugins except those two and see if it works. It could be an issue related to a third plugin. Let me know.

And yes, the manual mode is quite buggy but I can’t rewrite this piece of code. It was conceived only for test purposes. Are you sure that you absolutely need the Manual mode instead of the Automatic one (with the minimum interval, 5 minutes)?

Good call. It is not possible.

The editing option was originally conceived for the posts that were been published with the plugin, so the author and the category were already set inside the txt file you saved in your folder.

For now, you have to set the category using [category] tag. Further, there’s no [author] tag, so the original author will be overridden anyhow. You can’t do much.

However, I’m working on a new release and I will keep in mind this problem.
I hope it will be ready soon.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,

I’m sorry but I was very busy.

I did some tests.. apparently both plugins work fine without any change.
As I said, I used the NOT PRO version ( https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/auto-post-thumbnail/ ). I tested the plugin in the “Manual” mode (as you requested) with Worpress 4.2.3 .

I simply saved a text file and put a img tag ( e.g. <img src=”www.someurl.com/image.jpg” /> ) . I tried multiple times and it worked fine.

Can you be more precise in the description of the problem have you experienced?

That plugin is not free.

I’ll try the free version (not PRO) https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/auto-post-thumbnail/ .
It’s a bit dated but I hope it works. I’ll try to replicate the bug and take a look.

I will let you know soon.

With a bit of luck and time, I hope to send out a new version by September, but I can’t make promises.

Unfortunately, I have no time to make it compliant with another plugins. Too many variables involved and most of them could be not related to my plugin. But.. I’ll try to take a look if it’s a simple issue.

Anyway, let me know about Manual check here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/manual-check-doenst-work-all-of-a-sudden

Bye,

Hi arunsathiya,

I have to admit it is quite strange.
Can you confirm that automatic checking works fine?
I need some more infos, like Wp version and php version please.

Moreover, can you try to use another Dropbox account? Did you see this old post ? https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/seems-to-have-stopped-working-080914-monday-1500cet

Still, can you disable all plugins and see if the manual option works again?

Bye,
Paolo

It could be a nice feature for Post via Dropbox. Uploading the featured image alongside the text file and let the plugin grabs them automatically.

Hi guys,

Do you can tell me more about your system? Do you know what is the OS of your server? Php version? Curl? (You can grab this info with phpinfo() )

WordPress version? Have you tried to remove completely the plugin (deactivate and re-install) and the folder Post_via_Dropbox in Dropbox?

Yeah, it should work pretty well. As Neil said, it is enough to set the publish date/time.

Thanks Neil for support ??

Sorry, I do not know what goes wrong. I should test the plugin on that stack for hunting down the bug, but currently I have no time. I hope can do it soon.

Hi,

Can you give me more info about your installation (wordpress version, php etc)?
Did you try to deactivate/reactivate the plugin?

Hi,

The text file example provided by Neil is right. I can only add that you can use any order you want (e.g. first [status], then [content] or [title] and so on), it is irrelevant for the plugin.

About lowercase issue, I don’t know. It should work fine, maybe it is a bug. Can you describe more precisely the issue providing extra info (wordpress/php version, content of txt file loaded, etc).

I’m glad to hear you resolved the issue. Maybe you should contact Dropbox support.

I never thought about it, so you can’t do this ?? I’ll add this feature in next release.

For now, I think you can use “Simplified posting” option to add these tags without processing them.
