404 not found errors

Hi there

GREAT plugin!

I have a little issue though. When I click upload image or video, I get 404 errors. Media uploads do work when editing pages/posts, and in dashboard status.

This is a new install. I’m running the Pure theme. http://puretheme.themeloom.com/

A couple of questions if I may.

Is there a way to restrict video uploads?

It would be great if there was a shortcode to allow for more control over where status appears on a page. Is this possible?

    Hey ebrown.

    404 issues are usually permalink related, you could try saving your permalinks again then test.

    Is there a way to restrict video uploads?

    You mean by role? Or something else? If you could please elaborate?

    I don’t believe that is currently a feature, we could make this a request though :slight_smile:

    Take care.

    Hey again! :slight_smile:

    Excellent, glad that one is sorted!

    A Popup? I just went to your site and didn’t get this.

    What sort of pop up it is?

    Is there a way to prevent video uploads? I don’t want that option.

    There isn’t currently an automated way, no. The only option would be to code that option out of the template.

    Take care.

    Greetings ebrown & Tim :slight_smile:

    actually Gentlemen there is a way to prevent video uploads :slight_smile:

    Network Admin–>Settings–>Upload Settings

    remove the video extensions and save :slight_smile:

    Screen shot included :slight_smile:

    Aha! Tim – I missed it that we were working with the Status Plugin ….. lol

    I was going to say “Do you not mean the Media Button?” thinking about the post/page inserting.

    However :slight_smile: Using the text change plugin from admin I went and put in Text to change “Video” and left replace with blank and walla – text gone :slight_smile:

    You may want to restrict it to the one domain or leave domain selection blank for Global :slight_smile:

    Hey ebrown.

    I just went and had a play on my sandbox install, it all seemed to work fine there for me.

    Could double check to ensure we have the latest version of WordPress and this plugin. Then deactivate all other plugins. Try again and if it works then its a plugin conflict.

    For the button, open the following file:

    wp-config/quick-status/lib/forms/dashboard_widget.php

    Then remove this line:

    <a href="#videos" class="wdqs-type-switch" id="wdqs-video-switch"><?php _e("Video", "wdqs")?></a>

    You would then need to do this everytime you update the plugin.

    Let me know how you get on.

    Greetings :slight_smile:

    or just permission the wp-config/quick-status/lib/forms/dashboard_widget.php file 444 Read only and it cannot be overwritten during updates :slight_smile: and the customizations remain as you made them :slight_smile:

    NOTE: you may need to FTP the updates for the plugins with 444 Read Only Files since I found some will not auto update when you have 444 read only files within.

    Greetings Tim :slight_smile:

    you are absolutely right there partner :slight_smile:

    that is why I use Ultra Compare, it tells me what if any changes have been made between any two files :slight_smile:

    So if I compare the old plugin against the new, I always know what has changed.

    and when it comes to themes or most other customizations I do not even need to do that :slight_smile:

    You know by now Tim that most of the time I think out of the box :slight_smile:

    Hey Joe :slight_smile:

    I have a series of changes I make to every release of WordPress, and also to some plugins. I tend to just keep a log of those changes or references so I can make alterations again.

    Probably not the most efficient but it works for me and has done for many years.

    I keep meaning to just get another SVN or GIT set up for this sort of thing but just never get around to it. :slight_frown:

    Take care.

    Hi Tim.

    My site is a fresh install with no plugins installed, except status and Pure responsive theme. I have also tried the default theme and various browsers without success.

    I’m closing this ticket. Thanks for your help guys.
