I haven’t tested on Windows, no. Does this plugin only work on a Windows machine?

Ok I got it to work. it’s actually quite simple with GoDaddy. there are a few details you have to pay attention to though. Again, this is for people who have wordpress loaded on GoDaddy shared hosting.

1. first go ahead and create your .ini file (make sure you use a plain text editor that will not add unwanted returns and hidden symbols). all that needs to be in the file is:

memory_limit = 192M
post_max_size = 50M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 50M

This will let me upload files up to 50 Mb’s. The maximum limit is 192 Mb’s so don’t go over that.

2. save this file as “php5.ini” and put it up in your root directory.

3. the last thing you need to do (which was the reason it wasn’t working for me) is to change the permissions to executable (705). I did this by going into my FTP, opening the more info for my .ini file and setting the permissions to read write and execute. the end sequence should be 705.

who has a forum? I have Godaddy, do they allow that?

esmi, that “Add From Server” plugin is great, however, that’s not quite what I was looking for. I already use my FTP to upload everything, but I’d like to get rid of that extra step / piece of software (an FTP) and have wordpress do the uploading.

It has to be possible to increase the maximum upload limit in wordpress ????

just found this plugin actually, it doesn’t work with wordpress 3.0+ however:

there just has to be an updated version of this somewhere. does anyone have a solution to having your facebook posts pushed to your wordpress blog??

I’m looking for the same thing also. Preferably anything posted to facebook and/or twitter gets pushed to my wordpress blog. I’m pretty surprised that there is no plugin or solution to this.

hornitosmonster, are you hosted with GoDaddy? I’ve been struggling with this problem for months now, and I’ve tried everything. The only thing I hadn’t tried was hosting a mirror of my blog with different host to see if that was the problem. Turns out I only get a Internal Server Error 500 when my site is hosted at GoDaddy. I was curious to see if anyone else had that problem.

***WARNING***

I just did what was outlined above and it seriously screwed up my website.

I’ve been desperately trying to find a solution to this 500 Internal Server Error and thought that this was the solution, but after I changed my .htaccess file to the above, it changed every link on my site and my admin. Instead of linking you to a page when you clicked on it, it would download that page to my desktop. I quickly changed the .htaccess file back to it’s original state, and that problem stopped immediately.

Unfortunately, the 500 Server Error, is still around.

Is there anyway to modify the plugin so that this override option is reversed?

I agree with rhythmofthecosmos when it comes to emailing your subscribers too much. I only want to email my subscribers once or twice a month, but I am posting almost everyday. so I’d much rather have the default as “don’t send an email” and when you check the check box, it activates an email notification.

In the plugin php file I found this block of code that looks like it changes the check box, but I haven’t been able to change the default. anyone have a solution?

Meta box code for WordPress 2.5+
	*/
	function s2_meta_box() {
		global $post_ID;
		$s2mail = get_post_meta($post_ID, 's2mail', true);
		echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"s2meta_nonce\" id=\"s2meta_nonce\" value=\"" . wp_create_nonce(md5(plugin_basename(__FILE__))) . "\" />";
		echo __("Check here to disable sending of an email notification for this post/page", 'subscribe2');
		echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"s2_meta_field\" value=\"no\"";
		if ($s2mail == 'no') {
			echo " checked=\"checked\"";
		}
		echo " />";
	} // end s2_meta_box()

I don’t have access to my .htaccess file, but I am able to edit my php.ini file.

However, I don’t see any limiting code in the php.ini file? I added the above code to the file, but it is still restricting my audio file upload.

register_globals = off
allow_url_fopen = off

expose_php = Off
max_input_time = 60
variables_order = "EGPCS"
extension_dir = ./
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
precision = 12
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

[Zend]
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so

php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
php_value post_max_size 16M

I had the same exact problem: admin tries to embed video, no problem. Author tries to embed same video (same exact code) and it shows up as a link instead.

This is because wordpress has the Author user role defined as someone who can only write and edit their own posts AND cannot post javascript or complicated html.

to change this you have to modify the default user capability. Thankfully, this is easy to do.

Open up the functions.php file in your theme folder. At the top of this file add the following code:

// get the "author" role object
$role = get_role( 'author' );

// add "organize_gallery" to this role object
$role->add_cap( 'unfiltered_html' );

Basically, you are just giving the author user role access to post any kind of code they want by adding the ‘unfiltered_html‘ capability. Just make sure that you can trust all of your authors before adding this, because without html filtering, a user could do considerable harm to your site if they decided to post some nasty javascript.
