I look forward to it

Sorry for my late replay. Had family over and cut computer time short.

Oh, but do you know about the Total Sync module in the plugin? Check this out absolutely! There is also a tutorial for it on my website.

The Total Sync module was what tripped my hosting provider in the first place ??

No, only the gallery is updated by Lightroom. You can play with the text around it as much as you want ?? Note that this behavior can be changed, those extensions are really easy to copy and modify by yourself.

No, thats perfect

Something I could do quickly however is to give you a “Auth Token “button somewhere that will give you a token. This token would work for, let’s say, 6 months, then expire.

Auth Token would work for me.

Yes, that would be the easier way. Manage your categories through Lightroom like that, title of categories wouldn’t be modified if changed in LR (so that on WP you are free to give a more friendly name, and on LR a more pragmatic name just for you). And that would work through an option added in WP (like set up the Collections Sets as Categories). Some people like me don’t want to have those created by LR, I actually use my own hierarchy of folders on LR just to make everything neat, but that’s only for my sake. On WordPress, it’s a totally different one. That option would be great I think.

Sounds all great. Thank you for working with me on this. When do you thing you can add the auth token, etc.?

What is your hosting service?

Justhost.com is my web host. But I am not too happy with them lately since you have to pay for every little thing extra. I should go and look for a new provider.

Don’t worry about that. ?? It’s just about 270 pictures maybe 150 are in Lightroom…. I’ll live if they don’t get synced.and maybe i get bored some day and link them by hand ??

By the way, are you planning on implementing OAUTH? I got informed, that the way your Lightroom extension logs in, it makes my WordPress more vulnerable to be hacked again.

Oh, you mean you are using one of the extensions? Which one?

Ok.. now I feel a bit stupid. I just switched it all on, since it hasn’t become clear to me what the difference between post and collection is.

Now rereading the FAQ again I understand the difference. I would be more interested in the ‘collections-extension’, I think.

I do have I question here though. If I go into the wordpress-end of the collection-post and add text (NOT edit the TITEL), will that change the function or will the text be over written by the extension when I change the pictures on the Lightroom end?

So basically you would like to create a folder (sets) on the Lightroom side as a category, right?

I am sorry I am so confusing. Really. And thank you for your patience thus far.

If it helps to associate the folder in lightroom with a wordpress category, then that would be great.

Otherwise I would be already happy if you could add either in the
WP/LR plugin in WordPress or in
WP/LR plugin in Lightroom one input field to specify the posts category once created in WordPress.

Sort of like I mentioned before, where wordpress gave the possibility to specify the category in which every by e-mail submitted content is created in.

Hi Jordy and thanks for your quick responds.

I have to confess, I am a bit lost with XML/RPC requests etc… I started the sync as explained on you webpage and 30 minutes in, I was not able to access my webpage anymore. It stated that my ip was blacklisted. I contacted my web host to take me off the blacklist and they told me it looks like i tried to spam my server. I told them that it might be the plugin sync and shared links to your page. They agreed it was that, put me back on the withe list and I asked them to please give me a day to let your plugin do whatever it does. 2 hours later, the same game. There I gave up to be honest….

I am sorry if I was unclear, what I meant with setting the category.

If I create a post by hand, it creates the post by default in the category “A tale that wasn’t right” which is good. Or if I create a post by e-mail it creates it in the Category “Roads of Madness”. I was able to change that under Settings->Writing->Default Mail Category in the WordPress Dashboard. I am looking for a possibility to set the Default Collection Category.

Your plugin creates a post ‘collection’ from a collection folder in Lightroom.
This gets created with the collection name as Headline (which is great) and in the default WP category all fresh post get created in (in my case “A tale that wasn’t right”)

I would like to set as ‘collection – post’ default the category ‘Magic Mirror’ instead so all the collections show under that category header like this (https://www.purrfectfire.com/purrfect/?cat=172_ ) I changed them here afterwards manual.

I couldn’t find anywhere, where I could change/set the default category.
I hope I could explain sufficiently what I am looking for.

Hey taxbax,

thanks a bunch. Haven’t seen that bit.. or better i have not interpreted it as a hint the other plugin would interfere.

Deactivated WPbook and i got my pics back.

Shame that it doesn’t work together though…

I erased all.
Added the plugin new
Gave permissions
Used the link to ad photo import in FB
Tryed to import

I still get

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wpbook_safe_publish_to_facebook() (previously declared in /home/furryta1/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wpbook/publish_to_facebook.php:6) in /home/furryta1/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wpbook/publish_to_facebook.php on line 179

Where do I go wrong?

Thanks for the tip, but somehow it didnt work with me.. he downloads the info (name and how many pictures) but not the pictures itself

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wpbook_safe_publish_to_facebook() (previously declared in /home/furryta1/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wpbook/publish_to_facebook.php:6) in /home/furryta1/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wpbook/publish_to_facebook.php on line 179

link didnt work for me either.. though i also get the “success”
But if i try to import, i get the same message as above: Fatal erorr….
