Hey ewall –

So sorry that we missed this!

Are you still seeing this problem? I don’t seem to see the same issue when I try from the Add New Post page.

Can you send a screenshot of the issue?

If you’re able to open the Chrome Developer tools, do you see on errors under the Console section?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed posting but we were having some server issues at the time that messed with the plugin, I believe.

We’ve since scaled our server resources up.

In the latest version of the plugin we made a conscious effort to be sure that the only side-effect of our server issues was that the plugin would have trouble loading (the rest of your site would function as normal).

Thanks for the report!

Hi all –

So sorry I’ve missed this until now.

PhotoDropper should be working fine in 3.5+ (works great for me). If you’re still having issues, be sure you’re using the latest PhotoDropper Plugin and if so, let me know so I can take a closer look.

Thanks!

Hey Carmelo,

Are you able to create a temporary admin user for me in your WP Admin so that I can see exactly what’s happening from my own browser and debug from there?

My email address is [email protected]

Thanks, sorry again for the hassle!

Hey Carmelo,

Sorry for the trouble!

You’re right, we didn’t have SSL setup going to the main PD App so it was giving trouble because your WP-Admin is behind https.

We just got that fixed on our server though, so things may now be working for you.

If not, you may need to edit line 63 of /photodropper/application/core/Bootstrap.php so that the URL on that line is ‘//app.photodropper.com’ (removing ‘http:’)

We’ll push that update ourselves shortly but that edit should at least get your copy up and running for the time being.

Let me know how that goes, thanks!

Miz.Michele —

Things are running smoothly with PhotoDropper.

We’ve revised how the plugin CSS/JS is loaded and it shouldn’t cause any issues on our site if our plugin is down — besides PhotoDropper not loading, but even all that is delivered via CDN so there shouldn’t be issues with that either.

Hope this helps.

Tanglisha —

Exactly. The images to the right are premium images and require an account.

If you are looking for the creative commons images, they are to the left and don’t require an account.

It’s also important to note that you can change the width of both columns by dragging the border between them. ??

Let us know if you hit any other snags.

Hey tanglisha,

So sorry you’re having trouble!

I’ll take a look into why you’re having trouble with logging in.

However, it’s important to note that you don’t *need* to create an account unless you want to use premium images and some more features we’ll be releasing soon.

In terms of opt-out/in – my understanding is that since you are required to click the link (that’s opting-in) to confirm your participation we meet the requirements, but I’ll look into it further!

Thanks!
Nicky

Hey Guys,

So sorry for all the trouble! It’s totally unacceptable and we’ve been working hard to prevent this from happening.

We just migrated our whole server architecture to prevent the site from ever hanging and it seems to be very solid now.

Tomorrow we will be pushing an update which will make it such that the PhotoDropper app will never be able to block your admin area or affect the responsiveness of your site.

So sorry for the trouble, thanks for using PhotoDropper!

Hey all –

Apologies for the troubles you’ve been having!

I believe everything should be running smoothly again and we’re keeping an eye on things to be sure of it.

Of course continue to let us know if you see any further issues.

Thanks!

Abnerzarka & Franck – Things should be resolved. ??

Let us know if you hit any other problems.

Hey Otto,

Thanks for bringing this up!

We definitely don’t want to be setting those cookies for non-admin/author users but from my end it doesn’t look like that’s happening.

Can you confirm that if you clear your cookies and view the site without logging in that those values get set?

I considered using sessions, but since WP tends not to rely on them, I’ve found that there’s no guarantee a user’s server supports them without issue.

Thanks for your help!

Miz.Michele — Everything is back up and running.

We had some server issues for a couple hours yesterday, but everything is back up and running. ??

Let us know if you hit any other snags.
