FAQ

For all the questions related to Hive please see:
https://hive.blog/faq.html or https://hive.io

What’s the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress

WordPress is the blogging platform on which you run steempress.
Wordpress.com is a business providing hosting for wordpress blogs.

Do I need a wordpress.com business account ?

No, you can use any web hosting provider to host your blog and use steempress.
Wordpress.com is providing a free hosting service but to use plugins you have to upgrade to the highest plan which is
very expensive compared to other plans.

We recommend the webhosting plan from ovh : https://www.ovh.com/ but you are free to use any other host.

We also recommend you to pick the “one click wordpress install” option which will directly install wordpress on your
server.

What kind of server do I need

It all depends on your blog and how much it’ll be visited, but you really shouldn’t need a lot of data.

For instance the “personal” plan on ovh with 100gb of disk space is more than enough for most of the use cases.

Do I need a domain name

No. Although having one is way better for your SEO. And generally more pretty.

Nobody says “hey have you heard of 173.245.234.11 ?” they say “hey have you heard of mysuperblog.com ?”

Can I use a free domain or a subdomain ?

Yes.

How can I protect the SEO of my website/will the SEO of my blog be affected ?

The delay feature allow you to publish first on your blog and then publish to hive after a few days/hours/minutes (you decide the delay). Which means that google and other search engines will index your blog first and tag hive.blog as a duplicate. And so your blog’s seo ranking won’t be hurt.
We recommend a 7 days delay for maximum security.

I did not get a vote on my article, is something wrong ?

You will not automatically get a vote, consider a vote as a tip for producing good content with us. You don’t expect
a tip, but you are happy when you get one. The same mentality applies.

Who do I talk to about business and parnerships ?

Find @fredrikaa on the official steempress discord and talk to him

the discord can be found here : https://discord.gg/W2KyAbm

Who do I talk to about technical details, bugs etc ?

don’t talk to @howo directly unless it’s a very specific and urgent problem, instead feel free to use the
help and suggestion channels.

Still on the discord : https://discord.gg/W2KyAbm

I published my post on wordpress but it was not published on hive what’s up ?

Check the plugin settings to make sure that you have set everything correctly. you should see

“Connectivity to the hive server : Ok
Username/posting key : Ok
“

If that’s ok, look at the delay, did you put any delay ? And is that delay over ?

If all of that checks, then something went wrong, come in the #help channel and we’ll figure it out.

Can I use this on my phone

We got that question a lot so I feel like we need to answer it.

No. You need a wordpress blog which needs to be hosted. So you can buy hosting with your phone and manage it
still from your phone but you’ll have to go by the “hosting” section and get a blog there.

At what percentages are the beneficiaries set ?

15%

Benefactor rewards

Like most other apps on hive, including esteem, dtube, dsound, dmania and zappl to name a few, Swe use benefactor rewards to help run and develop SteemPress. The benefactor reward is currently set to 15%. To compensate, SteemPress is able to support original authors who post quality content with our hive account @steempress-io.

Reviews

well… it WAS good

daniarnold May 12, 2021

Apparently this plugin doesn’t work anymore. NOthing has been forwarded to my Steamit account in over a year, and no notice was sent as to why. I’ve sent an email, no response, tried to get into the discord chat, not able to….. so apparently it’s time to ditch this plugin entirely. It’s a shame because it use to work really well

terrible support

conflitoseguerras June 24, 2020

terrible support Nobody answers you, they treat you like you’re the problem

worked fine until…

resqonline April 3, 2020 2 replies

… the developers decided that they no longer connect to steemit blog but hive blog – really annoying, if you’re set up on steemit blog and suddenly your posts no longer show up there! A message or some kind of option would have been nice. Not everyone can keep up with all the details of the steem community.

Can be better.

uru-g-uru February 16, 2020

For sure it do what it must do. But it can to be better I think. Also the web page wait for something new. 5 Month no actualization is a long time. You are sure y still alive?

Does what it says

pivic November 6, 2019

I’ve used this plugin for a few months and it works just as it should. No issues, and everything I post on my WordPress blog is also available via blockchain in minutes. Brilliant.

A great bridge into and out of the blockchain world!

gadrian September 24, 2019

Creating bridges for early adopters of new technologies with the rest of us is critical for them to succeed. As it is for us to cross over when we are ready. Steempress creates a uni- or bi-directional bridge between Wordpress blogs and Steem. The bi-directional bridge needs to be activated by adding the comments widget from Steempress. Comments will come from both your audience on the Wordpress blog and from users who see your post on Steem. Votes (having a value in STEEM) come from Steem users, so you will also add an additional income flow to your blog if you activate it. I recently used the comments widget to both upvote the post and leave a comment and it works as expected! I also used the uni-directional bridge to publish posts from my blog to Steem.
