I don’t know either. I’m sorry it didn’t work for others. I wonder if existing plugins could have anything to do with it. Creating an unseen conflict or something. I will admit that I don’t have many plugins installed. more-smilies, wp-grins and wordspew are all I have and that is only on one blog out of the four.

I finally got this to work for me. After trying so many things I finally got it to work with a few simple steps and only having to manually change one file. These are the steps I followed to get it to work for me. I have tried it on four different journals following the same steps and it works on all of them. I am using 1.5.1.2 on two of them and 1.5.1.3 on two of them. They are all using different themes.

This is for a new/clean install. If you have previously installed the plugin, delete it and make sure no trace of it is on the plugin list.

I downloaded the following file and unzipped it to the folder I use for working on files.
https://www.mthespian.com/wp1.5/wp-content/LivePress-1.5.1.zip

Before uploading I changed the lpsynch.config.php so that it contained the usedid and password for my account and also the allowed users. The directions are pretty clear. There are two line to change.

It is important to make this change before uploading any of the plugin files so that it calls the right information first thing. I was getting errors if I uploaded the files first and then tried to change them.

I uploaded the LivePress file “as is”. The whole LivePress folder (not the LivePress 1.5.1, but the LivePress folder containd within) went under Plugins without moving any files or changing any paths.

I overwrote the class-IXR.php that was already in the wp-includes file with the one that is in the LivePress folder.

I activated the plugin. There was only one option. Not a list of them.

If everything went correctly you won’t get any errors. Then when you go to Write there should be additional information concerning LJ functions. Mood, music, icon, security lever, etc. Make sure the synch box is checked. Make your entry and publish.

And just a note because I don’t know how it should work but I have found that I have to go into manage and then select the post to edit to get it to post. I don’t have to change anything, just pull it up and hit save. Then it posts right away. Other than that I was waiting and waiting. This might be an actual problem but since it only takes me 30 seconds to correct I’m not going to worry about it. Having gotten as far as I did made me happy.

Following the advice of the above entry by neils I updated the psynch.config.php file with my sign in information before uploading any files. I then uploaed everything into the plugins folder. I was then able to activate the plugin (only one choice). Up to this point I have not had any errors. But…

When I go to “Write Post” the only difference from before is a link for “LJ Extras Help”. There isn’t actually a LJ Extras Box.

I feel very fortunate that I haven’t been having the errors that so many are but obvisously I still don’t have something right. Any hints as to where I might look woudl be greatly appeciated.

I am using 1.5.1.3

Thanks!

I had to change the permissions to 666 in order to be able to edit them with the built in theme editor. And that was with the Reflection theme.

I seem to be having the same problem as the one mentioned above by manon.

I have done all the code placement as mentioned above and I believe I finally have it positioned correctly because I am no longer getting any errors. But it isn’t showing up as an option under my Plugin Mangement and therefore I can’t activate it.

I have the wp-grins.php file located directly within /wp-content/plugins. It is not within any other folder. The other plugin files that are located in there do show up under Plugin Mangement.

The only other plugin I have added is the more smilies plugin. I have tried deactivating that one and it hasn’t made any difference and it seems to be performing as it should.

Thanks
