Hi, I'm having problems creating an album with the sound check template.
First of all, I want to upload an mp3 that is larger than 2MB but I am not allowed to. It seems this is the only way for it to show up in the Media Gallery, which is also the only way to uplaod to an Album...or am I missing something? I've even manually tried uploading the mp3 to the wp-uploads folder but it still doesn't show up in the Media Gallery. The instructions say upload the mp3s to the 'Post Gallery' which I am assuming is the Media Library > Gallery? I can't find it anywhere else.
I can include the url of where the mp3 resides on the server but then it's just text in a post and not in the Album Playlist.

That is Flash, and it is stripped out here for security reasons. You have to convert it following these instructions:

I want to share in a page of my wordpress blog a flickr photo album. I copied the html from the flickr page and I've been trying to paste into a page of my blog, but I can't !! Once I pasted it, and try to see how it turns, it disappears.

This is the html I want to paste. What I should do??? I want to paste it http://mviladomat.wordpress.com/photography/ .

lassrausfahrn on "facebook publicise album"

lassrausfahrn — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:52:14 +0000

Hello!
Is there a possibility to change the publicise feature for facebook back to only posting a link instead of creating a folder and uploading my pictures to facebook itself?
Actually the reason I use wordpress is because I

don't want my fotographs to be on facebook...
Thanks

@raincoaster: I don't think it is bypassing security in any way. It is creating links to pics on the web, which WP supports anyway. The embed code simply links to the SkyDrive album, whereas the WLW feature brings each picture's URL into the post along with the prettification. I think this should work, although I'd love to not have to depend on WLW for posting albums.

raincoaster — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 23:14:36 +0000

Yes, self-hosted sites can do this.

Interesting workaround, thanks for that. I wouldn't be surprised if staff disable that at some point though. They're VERY security conscious here.

romitmehta on "Embed SkyDrive photo album in a WordPress.com blog"

romitmehta — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 22:53:01 +0000

Ok, so here's the (temporary?) solution. Use Windows Live Writer to open the post, and instead of inserting the iframe embed code, use the in-built "Add Picture" feature and go with the option of "Add Online Album". This runs the code to individually link to each picture in that album and also creates a nice gallery/slideshow capability.

Phew!

romitmehta on "Embed SkyDrive photo album in a WordPress.com blog"

romitmehta — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 22:38:47 +0000

Thanks, @raincoaster. Wish a similar shortcode was made for SkyDrive images/albums. Will try to find the feature suggestion forum (clearly, I am a n00b here :-) ) to have that requested.

Just curious, if it is a self-hosted wp site, all bets are off, right? iframe *could* work for any embed link then? The reason I ask, I have seen this album displayed inline on another blog, but it is not a wordpress.com blog, it is a self-hosted WP site.

There is no such upgrade other than the VIP plan, which costs $600 or so. Google Docs have a special exemption from staff: you can see all such codes in the Support docs under "Codes".

romitmehta on "Embed SkyDrive photo album in a WordPress.com blog"

romitmehta — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 22:26:14 +0000

Just noticed, Google Docs links are also iframe links. Wonder how/why those go through but the SkyDrive picture ones don't.

fwiw, this is not for a xyz.wordpress.com site, it is for my custom domain site.

Is there a premium offering which *can* let me embed such links?

romitmehta on "Embed SkyDrive photo album in a WordPress.com blog"

romitmehta — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 18:50:19 +0000

@justpi: will look for them, don't think they have such a thing, though.

@timethief: hope my remark was not misunderstood as dismissive, I was just clarifying that I am looking to embed a photo album and not docs.

Some sites provide iframes as well as "older" embed codes. Does Skydrive provide any such alternatives?

I provided everything that is possible on a free hosted WordPress.com blog above. I'm sorry what I posted does not suit you.

romitmehta on "Embed SkyDrive photo album in a WordPress.com blog"

romitmehta — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 18:33:13 +0000

Thanks. All these are not applicable in my case. I am not trying to upload documents or embed picture album. None of the links will directly help me :-(

Also, for uploading docs, Scribd and GDocs are not the only alternatives. SkyDrive links are converted to "Office src" links. However, I am looking to embed SkyDrive album/folder :-(

These are the options we have for upoadingg documents and for embedding documents.
Please see here for accepted file types > http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/
Please see here for instructions for uploading documents > http://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

Note: The following processes are outlined particularly for users who wish to upload a document and add its download link to a blog post or page. If you are seeking to simply upload a document to your blog’s Media Library (no download link), you can check out Media -> Add New in your dashboard. http://support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new/

If you want to embed the document itself, you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs. Otherwise, the documents will appear as a download link.

No, this is a new blog. I just happen to store my pictures on SkyDrive. They offer an embed code. If not iframe, what is the best way to "embed" a folder of pictures hosted elsewhere and not on WordPress?

timethief — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 16:19:21 +0000

There was no access to Windows Live Spaces migrations as of March of 2011. Perhaps what you can do is create a custom menu and include a custom link to your image album on SkyDrive in it.

If your imported your livespsace blog content way back when there was a 6 month window of opportunity to do so then if the pictures were part of a Post they imported with the Post but if they were part of an album they were not imported. I'm not clear on what to do about them now and suspect you will need Staff to provide a definitive answer. Iframes cannot be embdeed into our blogs for security reasons.

I tried embedding a SkyDrive album in my wordpress.com blog, and realized that the "iframe" tags were stripped off. As a result, the blog post simply shows a URL. Is there a way to actually show the album inline?

I looked up and it seems like the "Office" docs have a better translation in wordpress so their iframes get converted to an <office> link, but does not seem to be the case for pictures.

alexandrafrench on "Looking for Plug-ins"

alexandrafrench — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 22:59:38 +0000

We are looking for two plug-ins for our page:

1) A plug-in that animates text phrases in an interesting way, so that it moves across the screen, or comes in from a distance and get larger, etc.

2) Another plug-in that will allow us to arrange photos in a grid on the page. We have square photos (182px x 182px) and would like the full photo displayed, not a thumbnail. We would also like no decorative borders, and would like 10px padding between photos. We'd like our photos arranged as they are currently at the bottom of our page (see http://gogoscope.com/). But we'd like a plugin because now uploading the photos takes too long using the wordpress interface.

Could anyone recommend a good plug-in for these tasks? Thanks! :)

Hello,

I would like to know where are my pictures. I used to use Windows Live and since my website has been transfered to WordPress, I cannot find all my pictures albums. I had a lot and only the pics added to my articles are still there.

Thank you for your help, I cannot find the answer in the support topics.
