So we might have a solution here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/does-this-work-for-dropbox

After several attempts, and clearing of cache etc, using the above seems to actually be working. Once we go live and it’s in full action we’ll know more, but at the moment we’ve used dropbox link, that short code, and adjusted the end of the URL to = 1.

Logged out of dropbox, cleared cached, and tested.

It’s a restaurant website, and we want to make posting the menu as easy as possible for the end user to post the daily special they type up. So they are already using dropbox and thought if we can just have them save as normal and have it on the site automatically then great.

There is another tool that allows for one to email a message to the db and it parses the email and embeds the attachment. This might work too.

OK. I think I’m going to try a Zappier or IFTT mechanism possibly , to FTP the files to the server as they are posted to a dropbox folder. Then use the hosted URL with the embed tool. I’m just trying to avoid having the user login to WordPress if possible. Need a way for them to save the file from their machine and bang it’s on the site.

Being able to embed a file right from dropbox will be awesome in a future revision though!

Thanks Pat!

Yes that’s what I’m trying to determine, is if it will work with files hosted on dropbox. I’ve tried every way, but the only method that is successful is to upload the file to the media library first.

Have you had success using a dropbox or other cloud link ?

Worked perfectly thanks!

I looked at another account I had as well, and currently it works as the screen shots (Help files, etc from Yoast) suggest. Though when I try to re-authenticate that same page that appears to be working, then fails. So I have to hit the back button , then save the profile to return to the working mode.

It’s looking like either the WordPress updates, or the Plugin updates have failed in it’s most recent iteration. Is this forum the only place to get support if we’re not a donating member of the plug-in ?

Not Working for me either. Don’t have filters, don’t want to do the db purge method. Will just manually adding the UA code work ?

It seems that you can still have the pages \ tabs work , but having a particular app or page be the default landing tab is gone. So what I was reading is that you have to ” be creative” about how you are going to drive traffic to your fangate\reveal. Looking forward to seeing how this will play out. Thanks for the post dragon!

Still working on the time to test your video, and new updates to the pages, but I was wondering. Will the new Facebook Time Line for Pages influence the plug-in?

Hey thanks David! I’ll give it a shot soon, and let you know how I fared.

Ah Ok well, I’ll look into upgrading the server. Thank you David for the direct help! I love the idea of the plug-in , and look forward to it’s success!

I was chatting with the Hosting support and they said that this link : https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/security-certificate?replies=2

May be the culprit. Do you think it’s related ?

ndrew: [4:57:52 PM] I have this URL https://www.thesocialdiner.com/fbtab/?fbreveal=1314-1313&resize=1&minfilters=1 but I’m getting 404 errors when trying to access it. So I was trying to use this article https://my.justhost.com/cgi/help/126 but I can’t seem to figure how to construct the URL so I can access that url. Can you help?
Gus: [5:00:25 PM] yes, one moment please
Andrew: [5:00:34 PM] np
Gus: [5:05:23 PM] ok, the problem there is that with some blogging platforms, the URL needs to be the same for the site to work. You’ll see that the certificate is working but your blog isn’t recognizing the URL here: https://web86.justhost.com/~ableand1/thesocialdiner.com/
