Greetings -
Kudos on a great plugin. I successfully installed the plugin and the page generates. The video at the top of each page plays flawlessly, but none of the thumbnails will play. I've reviewed in FF and IE. Suggestions?

Thank you -

P.S. - I failed to mention that I've installed on another development (different domain - different wp theme) with the same results.

Could be that you're using version 1.1.4 of jQuery, which was released 3.5 years ago. The latest version is now 1.5.1. Are you able to upgrade? That will likely get everything working, not to mention make your site feel snappier.

WP.org states that the requirements are WP 2.2 or higher. I'm running a version higher than 2.2. While I'm very familiar with WP in general, I'll have to admit that I'm a bit ignorant on jQuery. Is there a way I can check? Is it difficult to upgrade? Could upgrading cause problems with themes and/or other plugins?

Thanks for the reply -

Thanks again for the heads up. This is what I've managed to do... Went to jQuery.com and "downloaded" v.1.5.1 (http://code.jquery.c...ry-1.5.1.min.js). I copied and pasted this into a document and renamed to jquery.js. I went to /wp-includes/js/jquery on my site and renamed the original jquery.js file to archive it. I then uploaded the new jquery.js v.1.5.1 document that I had just created. TubePress NOW WORKS! Yea! Now, when I view the new source code I'm still getting "/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.1.4". Why is this? Is there something else I need to do? I've briefly reviewed the site and all seems to be working, but I need to go back and do a more thourough job.

I also see that within the jquery folder also resides interface.js and iquery.form.js - do these need to be updated as well?

This just dawned on me as well,... I just downloaded the latest version of WordPress (3.1) which includes jQuery v.1.4.4. Would it be okay to take the jQuery v.1.4.4 folder included with 3.1 and replace it with the one that currently resides on my server which was included with the older version of WP I use, but newer than 2.2 referenced by WP for your plugin. For a number of various reasons I'm stuck with this older version of WP.

Thanks again -

Okay, I discovered that jQuery v.1.5.1 broke some of the admin functionality, at least with one admin plugin. So, I archived v.1.5.1 and replaced it with v.1.4.4 which comes with WP 3.1. TubePress still works and the admin functionality now works properly again. I only replaced the jquery.js file and not the whole folder. I would like some opinion on that if anyone should have any to offer...

I think that replacing just the jquery.js file will be fine, especially since you're using a relatively modern version of jQuery. There are a number of plugins that can help in managing the inclusion of jQuery. One that I use on all my sites, including tubepress.org, is http://wordpress.org...se...libraries/. But it looks like this plugin requires WP 2.9.1 or higher, which may not be an option for you.

I'm still getting "/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.1.4". Why is this?

This is just WordPress's script mechanism supplying a version number in case there are multiple versions of the script available. In your case, you can safely ignore this.

Thanks, Eric... I appreciate all of your assistance. If I read your pro features correctly, it looks like you can have feeds from multiple users? How does that work with the thumbs? Are they segregated by user? Now, what happens after a year and I not renew, do the pro feature cease to function?

The thumbs will appear in the order that the videos are collected. Say you wanted to show a gallery from just two different YouTube users...

[tubepress mode="user" userValue="user1 + user2" resultsPerPage="20"]

The first page of this gallery would have a total of 40 thumbs, the first 20 from user1 and the second 20 from user2. However, you could shuffle them together...

[tubepress mode="user" userValue="user1 + user2" resultsPerPage="20" orderBy="random"]

in which case the users' videos would be mixed together randomly. Make sense?

what happens after a year and I not renew, do the pro feature cease to function?

You can keep any version of TubePress Pro you have for as long as you like, and the features will work forever. The only thing you'll lose are future upgrades to TubePress Pro, future Pro-only features, and priority support here in the forum. You can also cancel your recurring payment immediately after purchase if you'd like, and you'll still enjoy TubePress Pro benefits for one year. Hope that answers your question. Thanks!
