But ?p=xxxx isnt a permalink…… Permalinks are set identically on both domains.

?p=xxxx where x is your post ID # is basic functionality. That’s why it’s confusing me why it isnt loading. ??

Bump!

Sounds like something in your .htaccess is telling mp3 files to play, rather than download.

Open up .htaccess in your wordpress root directory and look for “.mp3”. If something exists with that in it, remove that line and add these lines:

<FilesMatch “\.(?i:mp3)$”>
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>

You’ll want to ask the theme author what’s going on. ??

Best plugin support ever. Thank you David.

Thanks David! I just sent you a contact request from the website.

Thanks Kyle. WPUF does the “pending review” part, so that makes life simple. ??

I didnt see the option to auto encode, I had my eyes closed I guess, so I’ll give that a whirl and report back!

Thanks so much.

Oh yes, Buddypress. ?? rtMedia started out as BuddyMedia and then made the plugin a standalone plugin not too long ago. Most rtMedia customers are Buddypress users. It’s pretty much the only good social users tool for WordPress and extremely popular.

Buddypress is pretty easy to install, there’s very few configuration options that you’d even want to bother with. It works out of the box and works on all themes as well.

Thanks David…….

With the correct syntax, the video mime type now properly displays.

1.) Adding link=file does work, however it creates a few problems in that it doesnt load the rtmedia page where people can comment star or favorite the image.

2.) I’m really unsure of how the https://www.DOMAIN.com/members/alexa/media/4/ URL is generated. It’s certainly a rtMedia thing.

I see in phpmyadmin that in the table “wp_rt_rtm_media” the actual image/videos are refereneced to their media library post number. Which also shows me that if its a video there is a reference to the videos thumbnail.

With the post mime set to video, instead of a gallery, it is indeed just a link of the title of the video. Using the thumbnail image would greatly improve upon its appearance.

Remember my offer too, if there is any custom coding fees for your services in getting all this working, I’m more than happy to support that. Once these are wrapped up the site is ready to go live! We’re all pretty excited over here. ??

Thanks!

Thanks David! This solution mostly works, here are the few issues I can see:

1.) Adding post_mime_type=’video’ returns the error:

ERROR: Invalid mla_gallery tax_query = 'array( array( \'taxonomy\' => \'rt_houses\', \'field\' => \'slug\', \'terms\' => \'mansions\' ) ) post_mime_type=\'video\''

2.) Without the video post mime it shows the images gallery perfectly. However when you click an image, the file is not found. It looks like the wrong URL to take you to the image.

Instead of the image taking you to:

https://www.DOMAIN.com/members/alexa/media/4/

It is trying to take you to:

https://www.DOMAIN.com/album/profile-pictures/greenb1/

….which results in a not found error message.

3.) For the video galleries, is the plugin sophisticated enough to grab the child image as the preview image for the video? rtMedia makes a thumbnail for each video and that thumbnail is a child media of the video.

Thank you so very much! You can expect a donation to your charity on behalf of my site.

No worries Kyle, thanks much for your reply.

WPUF is easy to get the files on the server, but that’s all it does. Once WPUF adds the file to the site, it still needs screenshots generated and the file to be encoded, which is what I’m looking at your plugin to do.

Is there a way to automatically tell the site to encode every file once it’s in the media library?

I’m on a dedicated server with ffmpeg installed and your plugin works great from the backend, it’s just that users submitting their own videos on the front end is what I’m looking for.

If this is custom programming too, I’d be more than happy to pay for your services to code it out!

–> User uploads video from front end and assigns it a category (or multiple categories)

–> VE&TG re-encodes it in 480p mp4 and generates thumbnails

–> Post gets sent for pending review and when published, shows up on the site

Ben

Why would you roll back wordpress when you can fix the plugin instead? ??

Thanks for the boatload of support from all of you. ??

@jan normally I wouldnt post an email here, but as David doesnt have a website and developed this plugin on behalf of a non-profit, I didnt see another way. Understood, and appreciated. ??

@rahul286 We’ve spoken on the rtMedia boards before, and I had mentioned a bunch that this should be a core feature of the plugin. It really should be. What is the point of allowing media to be categorized if you cant display them by category? ?? Can you imagine a grocery store without things being organized by category? Holy smokes, that’s insane! ?? I appreciate you looking into it.

@david Lingren Thanks so much, look forward to your replies.

Lucky for us it’s GPL and free to share. Shoot me an email and I’ll send it to you: [ email redacted, please do not post emails in these forums ]

Look on Code Canyon for “Woocommerce Product Badges”. Works very well, I use it on my sites.
