Using SteemPress?

Is Anyone Else Using WordPress To Post?

I am soliciting the help of the community to solve my video site problems. I have failed doing it myself.

I need advice from anyone out there who is creating their #ctptalk or #peakd posts using SteemPress with WordPress. I thought I had it all figured out until yesterday. Now I really don’t know what to do. Here is what happened.

I had posts ready to go first thing yesterday morning because I didn’t have internet the evening before. For several weeks my method for creating posts with video has been

  • Create the video on my computer
  • Upload the video to D.Tube
  • Once the video was uploaded, copy the ’embed code’ from D.Tube
  • Create the post in WordPress with the D.Tube ’embed code’
  • SteemPress automatically uploads the post to the Hive and ctptalk

That method worked fine.. But yesterday, D.Tube broke before I could get my second post uploaded and I needed an alternate method. I decided to use 3Speak.Online. I knew in the past that embedded 3Speak.online code didn’t work on ctptalk but I was hoping that was fixed. No such luck, woorks fine in PeakD but in ctptalk the following show for the video.

(Unsupported https://3speak.online/embed?v=rcaine/zlgsjtsb)

So until @blainjones can find the time to look into this, 3Speak videos can’t be embedded in ctptalk posts. (They work perfectly if you put your post in the description of the video and use a ‘ctp’ tag.) I also discovered 3Speak videos are posted in PeakD automatically. So, the video gets duplicated when I publish my WordPress post. Once from 3Speak with no description and once from WordPress. Not the desired result.

I am going to embed a video from LBRY and see if that works or not. It used to get the ‘Unsupported’ message as well. Let’s see what happens.

I embedded a LBRY video right above here to see if it works. It works fine in WordPress. Here is the link in case it doesn’t work on the Hive. https://lbry.tv/$/download/videohelp/5f5835cf5f9f866f74075d156adb6b2be41da889

Please, if you have a method that works, or just any suggestions, using WordPress to create Hive posts please let me know. I don’t want to do duplicate work if I can avoid it.

Thank You in advance for your help. Bob Caine

Even More Verbose

For a long time I have been amazed by all the pieces parts involved with web development. I talked about it in yesterdays post. Another thought I have had about web development for a long time is it is very verbose. Today I learned that it is even more verbose than I thought. According to the Udemy course, I am currently working my way through, up until approximately 2009, websites were developed for viewing on PCs and then modified for viewing on a cell phone. We probably all have experienced sites on our phones that look terrible. If you look at the same site on a pc, it probably looks fine. After 2009, websites were viewed more and more on cell phones. The majority of viewing is done on cell phones today. So now the best way to develop a responsive website is to start with cell phone version and

Managing the Pieces Parts

I have said for years that internet development has too many “pieces parts”. I had no idea how many pieces parts there were. What lead me to this revelation was comments in the UDemy course I am taking on WordPress Theme design. I am almost done with the course. I was in the section where you learn how to upload the website, Fictional U, that I have been working on to the internet. The course teaches 2 methods. The instructor says that the first method is the easy way but is not good for frequent updates. The second method takes a while to set up but then becomes very straight forward. He recommends that you only use the second method if you think you are going to make frequent changes AND you know GITHUB. Since this isn’t a GITHUB course, the lesson using this method won’t make sense if you

Plugins to the Rescue

Guinea Pig Challenge Today I spent the majority of my time on 2 things. The first is related to my goals peripherally and the second is directly related I hope. I will explain the ‘I hope’ part shortly. So now it is much later than usual getting my IAAC done. I spent most of the morning working on making my office usable. I spent much more time than I meant to, especially since this is on peripherally related to my goals. It will be a better place to work. I am almost there. I just have to get the desk cleaned off. Right now it is covered with unmatched chargers and parts of 2 wireless phone sets. It definitely shows my pack rat side. This afternoon I started investigating WordPress plugins for what I thought might have to be programmed. I found plugins for like/dislike counts, custom post types, and
