Rex C. (Automattic) Nov 6, 2022, 02:40 UTC Hi there,

But after I have created a post and published it and my subscribers get the new post, I often go into a post and add more stuff or make corrections. How do I get that update to my subscribers?Notifications are only sent the first time a post is published. If you edit a post, change a typo, and click Update, a second notification will not be sent. Users will only see the edit if they open/read the post again.

You can manually notify your subscribers by sending a bulk email or posting on social media the link to the said post informing them that you have added an update to it.

Another option is to update the publish date of your posts. Updating the publish date also pushes that updated article to the top of your blog roll, as well as your category and tag archives.

Plus, if you use something that autoposts to social media accounts based on your feeds, then it can post the links to the updated content as well. Updating the publish date is almost the same as scheduling a post. Please check this guide for the steps: https://wordpress.com/support/schedule-a-post-or-page/#scheduling

Note however that changing the publish date to a future date will move it to the Drafts, so you may want to use the current date instead at the time the post was edited.

Please give it a try and let us know if you need more help.

I’m having trouble with my flickR embeds. The embedr seems to work on the draft page but only hyperlinks rather than give a slideshow within wordpress. Bear with us as WordPress and I try to hammer this out.

Firebird 68 One Bad Bird Shawn Borgen_2853 — This One Bad Bird album shows as if it is embedded properly with the back and forth or right left or < >. Let’s see what happens 202200315.

sfds XDisc 333 2019-10-06 01-02-41 (B,Radius8,Smoothing4)-2 — Shane’s Flying Disc Show XDisc album shows < and > in Draft.

The image of the Xdisc and the mustang is a screen shot of my draft view.

Even in the preview before post mode the embedded blocks only hyperlink.

Round and Round with customer service.

Thanks for reaching out to us at Flickr! You’ll have to reach out to WordPress customer service and they will be able to help.

Best,

Honesty Happens!

20210406. I was sent a customer service letter today that the bug is on WordPress’s side and they are working on it. That goes a long way in my book. This whole thing is a lot like magic anyway!

Dear Jessica, Thank you for working on this! I am going to attempt a step by step. Fir example I want to embed a FlickR album of m a local band. I go to flickR and grab the front page url.

Next up I hit the + to add a block.

I can choose from tons of stuff like Big Headings or paragraphs or embedding.

Then I look for the easy EmbedR specifically made for flickR by WordPress.

Diane Hoffman Havoc After Hours Tavern Larry Hedrick Lightshow High Point NC 20190217_0732

In the draft I can hover my mouse over the successful embed and the flickR hyper-link headr with logo shows up and the cursors which usually let me go left or right surf on the finished page.

HeadR (see how you’ve influenced me). In preview mode on WordPress end is where the trouble starts. I only get a hyper link. Used to work great. Well It has always worked very well up to 500 shots then it seems to hyper link. I mean as much ram as I have I can go really fast or click slowly. ( the 500 or more photos is another issue).

So when I update to the flickR wordpress test page I still just get hyper-link showing no cursors.

Let’s say i want to get fancy and go to share on FlickR and grab the embed code.

WordPress tells me then it just wants a url and not your embed code.

So let’s see what happens.

Maybe going to the embed box instead of the flickr embed box might work.

Same thing. It looks like it wants to work in draft. Then it only hyper links in preview. An update and refresh of my web page only gives me a hyper-link.

Test. Instead of using the url in the top search I am using the url given in the “share” feature.

Cross your fingers!

https://flic.kr/s/aHsm9QSQgF

No. That just added a hyper link

Progress with customer service rep Jessica at FlickR. 20210413

This is how a person familiar with code explains it. I understand what she is saying and it is a lot better than me alking in to a hardware store saying I need a thing a ma jig!

The issue I can’t seem to resolve, and that does appear to be on WordPress’ side (sorry) is using an HTML block and adding the embed code. The following bit of code is stripped every time the post is published, even though previewing the code appears to work properly:
data-flickr-embed=”true” data-header=”true” data-footer=”true”

Hopefully this information will help WordPress discover the root cause of the problem. Otherwise, I hope one of the other options works for you!

Looking forward to an update.

Best,
Jessica

Dear Kris,
I found a technical explanation from FlickR. See if one of your code writers can use this information.

Let’s try a link from adobe albums.

https://adobe.ly/3vIVSYA

All I get is a hypoer-link.

20210505 flickr test update.

Same thing but now my preview button isn’t working.

Let’s see if a small album works in Flickr.

Hooray!

Today’s date is 20210907. I uploaded the basic version of slickr Flickr from the plug in add ons. I went to test the albums on this page. within seconds, flickR albums that weren’t working before are already working. This just saved TONS of WORK and opened up options for my web page. if this has salvaged all my other flickR embeds then i will be getting the PRO version just because I worked so hard trying to make it work before. it was taken away. I had a FlickR tech and a WordPress tech work on it. I wish tech support would have mentioned this before!

Now I am off to find an adobe albums plug in. without breaking the bank!

I am THRILLED! Thank You SlickR FlickR! I will add a test upload here to see if a new album will display!

YES! YES! YES!

I will be trying to dig up the old customer service help letters and let WordPress know where to tell frustrated flickr users that they are back in action! I will be contacting the nice girl at FlickR and telling her thank You for trying so hard. She went as far as setting up her own test page! And I will try to find someone to thank at SlickR FlickR! i’ve been without a moving slideshow for months!

Slickr Flickr Pro Membership

Before I get to happy about my FlickR working again, I noticed a No Theme CSS loaded notice on my published pages. It doesn’t show on work pages. WordPress has had three days to help me fix it. Everything I find on the web wants me to add more javascript or other magic jibberish to make it go away.

Today is 20210913 at 1:18am.

Shh! Please make it go away WordPress gurus!

I’ve uploaded the new SlickR FlickR pro 20210813 as of 8:00pm. It didn’t change the CSS warning i am getting on top of my web pages now. But i am just learning what CSS does. I think it has something to do with sizing things. Worpress team is on it as they advised i needed to send a request for help via a specific mail account.

I don’t seem to have broken any of my already loaded flickR embeds. One large album played as fast as my memory and connection would let it go. it looked like an old 8mm movie flashing by. I am not positive I loaded the right api key. Their were two api kleys and one said secret. i loaded the other one. So now i am about to load the largest album i have as I have been told i have unlimited display. Seems like before i was getting about 500 photos. The destructions say i am suppposed to enter some code somewhere. But this is my first effort to test a large album.

This album has 17,251 photos in it. I used the wordpress flickr embed block. It Played from b to a tennis photo from 1969. I have to figure out how many that was and how to make it play more.

WordPress support fixed my CSS error.

Hi there from WordPress.com support,

Your message:

Support just recently this black and white notice shows in the top left hand corner off my web page.
https://shaneksmithphotography.com/

No worries, I’ve since resolved that issue for you.

This would appear to be due to the Option setup in the Page Optimize plugin being set to exclude the admin bar and dashboard icons from its settings here:

https://shaneksmithphotography.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=page-optimize

I’ve since disabled the Concatenate Styles option there for now as that seems to be an option that is not compatible with the theme you have active on the site and the message has been removed.

Let us know if you have any further questions about this request and we can help where needed.

Best wishes,

Testing My New SlickR FlickR

20210914

I’ve installed SlickR FlickR Pro and my FlickR problem for posting small albums is resolved. But i can’t make ends meet yet of posting a gallery of slideshows or an Unlimited album yet. For now i’m just testing to see if the albums i pick work. The fiorst one had over 17,000 images and only about 500 play. So next I’m picking 238 to see if they will work. Then I’ll try to re-read any de-structions I can tomorrow before crawling to the forums!

The Rhinestone Ropers

Dixie Classic Fair 2008 Dan Kimberly Cody mink Shane 2008 DSC_0300 (50) — I should get 238 photos plus one video. i’m not worried if the video plays. That is a bonus.

The first Ropers photos look like the first version of a flickR embed before it broke. All 238 photos played. The video did not. I did not get “The Look” the code writer gets for his images. I can learn how and where to insert code. But it sure is nice loading a url in a box and clicking go!

Using the embed tool rather than the flickR tool I get the same results. So I am missing a step but I’m not disappointed.

Customer Service helped me get an easier way to sort my menus.

https://shaneksmithphotography.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

For your page I bet this will get you there .

/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

It makes a big difference with lots of menus and tabs.

However my menus still move in groups instead of one story at a time. It is hard to figure out how to break them loose.

Hello Shane,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

However I am having difficulty moving things where I want. I’ve blown my Main threads away and scrambled all my sub menus. This move in clumps when I want them to move one by one. I went in to the bulk item menu and it helps a little. The worst is a memorial obit page I do for my old friends. I don’t want to scramble them. Because I mix them up with all my old friends still alive. I almost started a problem putting two people in the obits that are still alive. So far I think it is still intact and order. Everything is moved all around it. Do you think I may be better off to move each thing “to the top” and start all over.

So, you mean you have scrambled the menu items for your site? screenshot

Yes. It seems in the past I could get posts to go where I wanted them. Now when I try to move 1 post, 3 or 4 posts might move with them including the main most for a group of sub posts. Last night I saw how to open the box and click remove or let go of (??) or send to top. My thoughts are maybe from the top I could sort them better. Instead of me guessing from this point . A good lesson on how to move my posts around would be great. Because I am close to having things right again.

Notes to self. I got snag it working again with the aid of a great CS person. I have almost got my menus back together on WP because there are still people out there that understand how to teach this magic!

For some reason today the menus seem to be moving correctly. I think someone from WordPress got in there and hit the easy button for me because they are moving in place smoothly today 20210921

Honesty is a rare thing. Thanks WordPress for telling the truth.

Shane SmithOct 27, 2021, 8:11 PM EDT Thanks for the follow up. Snag it is working on both computers now with two different keys.

Arra A. (TechSmith Support) Oct 26, 2021, 7:02 PM EDT Hi Shane,

Thank you for contacting TechSmith Technical Support.

I am sorry for the trouble that you’ve encountered.

This is a follow-up. To confirm, the Snagit on the laptop is using this key – 89455-XCKN9-HQCCZ-6UGQK-W9ACD and would like to use it on your desktop as well, correct?

Which Snagit license key does your desktop originally have? If it is using a different key, you can deactivate it to enter the new key.
It will not affect the one on the laptop.

(08:26:31 PM) Alec R: Hello. Thanks for contacting TechSmith support.
(08:26:39 PM) Alec R: Can you tell me where you are installing Snagit from?
(08:26:55 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: The desktop through a .dmg
(08:27:16 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: A .dmg from you guys
(08:27:25 PM) Alec R: I would encourage you to try to install from here, https://download.techsmith.com/snagitmac/releases/2143/snagit.dmg
(08:29:08 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: Doi you want me to load it over the last one or trash the last one and start with this one?
(08:30:26 PM) Alec R: Try to load it over please.
(08:33:07 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: It crashed first thing.
(08:33:42 PM) Alec R: Can you tell me how far into the application you can get to before it crashes?
(08:33:45 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: It didn’t add snagit 2021 to privacy for screen recorder but the snag it helper is there.
(08:34:08 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: As soon as it opens it goes away and a crash report comes upo.
(08:34:36 PM) Alec R: Thank you, that sounds like it would not show in the permissions because the application is not able to open completely before crashing.
(08:34:57 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: Understand.
(08:35:04 PM) Alec R: Can you tell me if there are any other versions of Snagit installed on this device?
(08:35:24 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: There were but I trashed them from applications.
(08:35:51 PM) Alec R: Can you tell me if you emptied the trash and rebooted before trying to install again?
(08:36:17 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: No I did not do eiother one
(08:36:51 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: Up untol this last installment I’ve rebooted.
(08:36:52 PM) Alec R: In order to ensure that all of the files are removed we would encourage both of those steps as to help prevent conflicts
(08:37:21 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: OK. If I empty the trash and come back in will I be able to find you?
(08:38:00 PM) Alec R: That would be correct, otherwise when the chat is closed you will see a transcript of it to your email that you can reply to in order to reach me directly.
(08:38:29 PM) shaneksmith1957@gmail.com: OK I’ll get right to it. Hope to see you in a minute.

Shane Smith Today at 17:00Alec. it managed to make a capture after I reopened it. But I see a future conflict. My license key for my laptop is the same as the desktop. I have a different key for the desktop. Can I deactivate the current desktop key and put in the correct key without messing up both computers?

What Aaron said!! Let’s hope it works for more than a day or two.

Nicolyn to the rescue!

Nicolyn R. (Automattic) Apr 5, 2023, 14:05 UTC Hi there,

Thank You for trying Copying the post did not work. I titled the copy Country Stores 2Thanks for giving that a try!

I did some more testing here and I found that the post loads properly once I turned off the “Lazy load images” feature in Settings > Performance! I wasn’t able to duplicate the issue on my end so it seems like something going on with your site- possibly with a plugin you have installed? I haven’t found the reason, but as a way around it, we can keep that feature disabled and everything will work properly!

Please take a look at your posts and let me know if you’re still seeing any issues. If you have any other questions, let us know. We are always happy to help. 🙂
Thanks,
