Thanks, I have some new information that I’ll send along.

Any way I can send you a login privately? Email?

Take a look at this, odd pieces of the JW Player interface are showing up in the WP admin panel: https://postimg.org/image/j4ngj0sij/

What could possibly be causing this? All other plugins are Deactivated.

BTW, “Add External Media” works properly – no problem picking a poster or template. But Add Media (from the Media Library) does not – the poster and template buttons don’t function, and the text on each button appears in red.

Hi, I had the same experience — it’s because you are running Google’s tool while still logged-in to your WordPress site. Log out from your site first, then try the tool again. That solved it for me.

Yes! The official plugin has lousy reviews, this one is stellar.

Yes, when I hit the edit button, then type-in some line breaks, they still evaporate once back in admin mode.

Hi Aaron, I did a bit of testing for you: when I paste several paragraphs in the editor (with line breaks), then hit save, the line breaks disappear instantly — all the paragraphs are run together with just a space between sentences. When I refresh the page, no change, breaks are permanently stripped-out.

Aaron — I can see you’ve been working hard on the plugin. This is great, thank you for putting in the skill and energy. May I bring an issue to your attention? Editing the review within version 2.0.1 of the plugin still strips out line breaks. Any way to tweak it so line breaks (space between paragraphs) are maintained in the editor?

Aaron — I’m stunned and amazed that you dealt with this so fast. Wow. Almost there . . . when I click the submit button in 1.2.0, nothing happens. Does not appear to be locking up or freezing, but the submission doesn’t happen. Please check when you get a chance. Also, could you point me to the code where I can tweak the styling of the form a bit?

Also noticed that if any edits are made to clean-up the review itself (using the red button), the line breaks are stripped-out and there doesn’t seem to be a way to override that behavior, even if pasted from an external text editor. Long reviews (from paper sources) become unreadable without breaks. I posted an example: https://alta-publishing.com/wp/reviews

Aaron, thanks, mostly working now — yes, probably a tad more documentation would address most issues. I did need to create a new page, then choose that page in admin. So . . . great, I especially like the inclusion of the aggregate rating. I did notice a frustrating behavior though, perhaps you can check it out. If I made ANY kind of mistake, like not use “https://” or not fill-out a field, or hitting the submit key prematurely, or not submitting required fields, instead of failing gracefully, the plugin would crash to a 404 error . . . forcing me to start all over again. No public reviewer would bother to start again, and the review would be lost. I end up at https://alta-publishing.com/wp/nospam/ when I should be brought back to the partially-filled form. Try it yourself: https://alta-publishing.com/wp/reviews. Am I configuring something wrong?

Bompus — Thanks. I was using a default page (About), but let me create a new “Review” page and try again. I’ll report back shortly. Meanwhile, may I make a suggestion? It would be incredibly helpful if the plugin supported a review DATE. Many of the folks we work with have paper reviews and testimonials laying around. Rather than using the system date, or no date at all, it would much more meaningful to enter the actual date of the review. Google indexes that information, and a natural distribution of dates would go over well for presentation in local search results. I know the hReview spec does not REQUIRE a date, but it should go in there nonetheless.

Understood, thanks. One more question please . . .

Is this WP plugin equivalent to the version at https://www.longtailvideo.com/players? In other words, is the WP plugin current with the standard download, or is it an earlier version of the JW player? I just want to understand if I’m getting all the features of the standard download in this plugin. Thanks.

Greetings,

The WordPress version of the plugin works fine IF I manually enter the code, for example . . .

[audio:https://www.domain.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/audio.mp3%5D

but I can’t get it to work with the WordPress Add Audio / Media Library at all, as desribed in the instructions.

When I press the “Audio Player” button in the Media Library, nothing is inserted into the Link URL field, and only the audio title is inserted into the post.

I’m using WP 2.7.1., with all plugins deactivated except the Audio Player. Anybody know what’s going on with this? A bug, or perhaps an incompatibility with 2.7.1? It seems to me the Add Audio method is vital for non-technical users.
