Sweet thanks! I’m going to give it a whirl here in just a minute after I upgrade to wordpress 2.6.
Reply to Ben CatlinCongratulations on picking up the project. I was a former ljxp user who just switched servers, upgraded to the latest wp and had difficulties. LivePress seems to be working great. That said, I’m a bit concerned about the fact that there’s a need to replace the class-IXR.php file to get it working.
What do you think would be necessary to get the plugin to work without that hack to core WP? How much effort would it take to achieve and is there any way I could help?
Reply to Brit ButlerHi Brit,
Strangely I was thinking about the same thing last night. I don’t like the fact that any part of the original wordpress code needs to be changed. And I will be making that part of future goal to remove that requirement for the plugin.
Honestly I have not had a chance to look into it at all. My more immediate goal is to iron out some other bugs wtih the plugin which I have listed on google code.
(BTW, I openned a google group just yesterday, we should probably have this conversation there instead to make it easier)
But anyways, if you want to help and have whatever coding skill needed to do it, go ahead and take a look at the code. If you come up with a patch, I’ll be happy to incorporate it into the plugin.
Thanks!

Hello!
Today I’ve tried to activate the Live+Press.
I have one question. The Live+press looking for wp_users in database. But if you will look closely to the wp-config.php ut has something like this
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!
So, I have the multiple WP in my database. Can you fix it?
Reply to Anton BorisovHi Anton, thanks for the bug report.
I’ve added this to bug list on google code. Check there for an update. I should have a patch for it soon.
Reply to Tania (digsite)Oh, thank you soooo much for this. I’m in the process of moving my LJ over to wordpress and was planning on crossposting but didn’t like LJXP very much. And I’ve just about driven myself batty trying to figure out how to add and disyplay custom fields; this takes care of both problems.
This plugin wouldn’t happen to work (or be manipulated into working) for importing LJ xml into wordpress, would it? I’d love to be able to somehow preserve my tags, not to mention the moods and music and haven’t found a good solution yet.
In any case, I’m really happy that you’ve adopted this plugin. Thanks again!
Reply to JuliaHi Julia,
I’m glad you’re making use of this plugin. I also didn’t like tha alternatives out there which is why I’ve stuck with this one bugs and all.
I don’t think I’ll be putting any effort into turn this into a sortof importer. I think there are other solutions out there for that. Correct me if I’m wrong. if it turns out there is not, maybe.. someday… I’ll invest the time and effort. or if someone comes along who wants to help me out with it. I have a growing list of bugs that really need ironing.
At any rate, let me know if u have any other questions.
Reply to Tania (digsite)I love that I have my music and my mood themes back without needing to download yet another plugin, AND I can post it to LJ. It’s just brilliant.
Importing from LJ is now built into wordpress, but it doesn’t import tags, moods, current music, or even threaded comments. I found a resource for a way to preserve the threaded comments, but haven’t found anything for keeping the rest. There were some very, very old plugins from 2004 with the first versions of WP, but I don’t know enough (next to nothing) to figure out how to translate it to 2.6. I had hoped that since this plugin goes so nicely in the WP–>LJ direction that the reverse would be easy (easier?) as well, since the custom fields are now there.
In the end, it’s probably not important, so I’m not begging you to devote your time and energy into that project as well!
The only thing that I’ve found is that I use a custom mood theme on my LJ. I modified the admin options so that it locates the right images, but my mood theme is .png files not .gif and I use all of the moods, rather than just the parent moods. Because of this, I made a new moodslist.txt (moodslistpng, moodslistjpg) and uploaded it, which works great… until the next update is downloaded. Any chance that the file can be modified so that it accepts gif, png or jpg?
Thanks again for all of your hard work!
Reply to JuliaJulia,
I will make a note of what you said so I can revisit the ideas down the road.
I don’t know that there’s any limitation to what image file type can be in moodslist.txt I’ll make a note on that as well tho to look into it.
Reply to Tania (digsite)Hello!
I’m really sorry to disturb you again.
Here I’ve left the question for you.
Thank you very much!
Reply to Anton BorisovHi, I answered your question over there. its pretty amusing.
Reply to Tania (digsite)Sorry!
Reply to Anton BorisovJust wanted to pop over and thank you for picking up this project. I noticed the update notification through my WP console. I had a hacked version of 1.99 myself and made changes to support LJ/WP updates. I’m glad to see this fork and the continued support for a great plugin!
Reply to Duncan BachenHi Duncan,
I bet a few people have done that same thing with this plugin. It’s a good plugin but with some problems because of neglect.
If you made any changes to your copy that you would like to see added to this one, please let me know. 2.1 should be available in a few weeks. I hope you can give suggestions after you take a look at that one.
Thanks!
Reply to Tania (digsite)Left you a comment on the project page. The linkback doesn’t go to the permalink of the article anymore, it goes to the primary web page.
Reply to Duncan BachenI think you may be the 2nd or 3rd person to bring this up. I will change this with the next release. Ideally with an option to choose to link back to the post *or* the blog itself.
Reply to Tania (digsite)What a great plugin!
I love how smoothly it works, and all the great features it has.
I have two questions, if that’s ok:
1: Is the user pic feature dependant on LJ privacy settings at all? I have a public LJ and a private (friends only) LJ, and the user pics do not work at all with the private LJ, but they work perfectly with the public LJ. It’s no big deal, it’s just that all Live+Press posts appear in my private LJ with the default user pic.
2. Will there be a feature for posting to LJ communities in the future? I have a WP installation for a convention, and an LJ community for the same convention. It would be great if I could send the posts to the community instead of to my personal LJ account!
Thanks for all your great work!
Reply to CaitlinAnswer #1) It looks like there is a bug when adding more than one LJ account to LP. I will be troubleshooting and resolving this with the next release or two. I don’t think it has anything to do with privacy settings.
Answer #2) There is nothing in the plans, but I will add this as an enhancement for future release.
Reply to Tania (digsite)Hi! Wordpress 2.6.3 + Live+Press Plugin 2.1.8:
Reply to AlexandrFatal error: Call to undefined function get_lj_login_data() in /www/milordk/www/htdocs/community/wp-content/plugins/livepress/LivePress/lpadmin.php on line 803
that is actually not a WP 2.6.3 error. get_lj_login_data is a function in lpadmin.php. and lpadmin.php is declared in LivePress.php.
Make sure you have both files present.
Maybe there was a bad release of the plugin at some point. the Latest one is OK.

Reply to AlexandrThis should have been corrected a few releases ago. Make sure you are running the latest LivePress. And if you still see errors like this, the please go to the Live+Press forum here:
