Whoops! the plogger press plugin was using tags that were uppercase, which is invalid XHTML. So if you had the option turned on to automatically fix poor markup, the plugin didn’t work!
So I have released version 0.4. Please note that all tags MUST now be lowercase. Sorry, if you are already using it with uppercase tags, but standards are standard, apparently!
Great plugin Tim, I’ve set it up on my site and am just getting started figuring out how to make it work in the layout and posts.
One issue I’m having is in editing the posts, when I put the or tags in, they only stay once as that code. When I refresh the post by saving it, the brackets and the code gets stripped leaving just the photo or album number and then the photos don’t get displayed anymore.
Do you have a workaround or know of what part of WordPress that has to be turned off so I don’t have to retype the code every single time I want to edit the post?
I kind of figured out what to change on my own. In the Options > Writing Formatting section, I unchecked the ‘use visual editor by default’ box.
Good work ! Exactly what I was looking for… I just installed Plogger Press on my work-in-progress website and it seems to function very well.
I wanted to be able to display an album using Lightbox with the next and previous function so I simply added [ $ album ] after “ligthbox on line 154 of plogger-press.php.
Thanks again !
I’m still playing with the plugin however the sidebar widget download link gives me this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: add_action() in C:Domainsthehydefamily.comwwwrootdownloadswPloggerPost.php on line 37
I like the new theme and have put it up at http://durresdisciples.org and hope to do some tweaking.
Great plug mate!
I expect things to heat up in this Plogger/Wordpress sector!
My eyes have gone square trying to find simple gallery software for my site and plogger is the best candidate so far. With WordPress having so much support, having a plugin for Plogger will help Plogger, WordPress and hopefully you too!
Just a matter of time and a little luck!
Are you considering developing this plugin further or are there things afoot to establish a plogger plugin forum/wiki/collaboration?
I can think of a few things that will take this plug to the next level, especially having the ability to choose an image from the plogger db with various insert options (similar to the G2 image chooser plugin for Gallery2). How do you determine the album or pic id at the moment? Do you have to dig into the db manually? Plogger doesn’t seem to show this info in the backend.
I will be using this plugin as it is now and will let you know if I come up with a few tweaks for it.
Thanks for the great work so far!

Love the plugin, but the download script for the sidebar widget is hosed!
Hi,
I’m fairly new to WordPress and have been searching for weeks for a gallery plugin for my site. I came across Plogger with Plogger Press and love the way it looks, as well as the “easy” integration into WordPress. I’m having a bit of trouble w/the ID tag, though. I can’t figure out what the id’s are for my galleries or images. I get this error message:
WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '/pictures WHERE id=domino_a.jpg' at line 1]
SELECT * from /pictures WHERE id=domino_a.jpg
I have been searching for an answer and have found that others have the same question on other forums (see below)

Hi all,
I have been trying to integrate plogger into my wordpress blog and am having a little difficulty. I searched for advice and have been careful to install plogger as part of the same database as wordpress, at least I think I have. The plogger gallery works on its own but I have yet to integrate it in a wordpress post. When I use the ID tag to include a plogger image I get this warning
WordPress database error: [Unknown table 'umit1cweb' in where clause]
SELECT * from plogger_pictures WHERE id=umit1cweb.jpg
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Saw your post on Plogger forum. Sounds like you have the WordPress rich text editor enabled. You MUST turn this off to put tags manually in your posts.
Great plugin! It is exactly what I was looking for.
Question – is there a way to change the order in which the album photos appear? Right now they are in ‘date submitting: ascending” but I’d like the most recent photos to appear first. I have changed my plogger default settings but it doesn’t seem to affect the ploggerpress view.
Great plugin! I added a download page for my add-ons to your plugin:
- Widget Plogger press for WP Widgets
- a module to use PloggerPress with K2 SBM modules (sidebar modules)
See http://www.paffatumpete.net/?page_id=42
Great plugin here, very simple setup.
One problem I’m having is with the lightbox plugin integration… It’s escaping the ‘ marks in the code output with throughout the link html. I’ll look at the code to the scripts later, but mainly I wanted to ask/suggest if there is or could be a way to pass styling elements such as class selectors and things like alt text through the script?
J?
I really wanted this to work, but the tags aren’t working. I’ve turned off the visual rich editor, but the tags still disappear for a normal user.
I’ve gotten it to work as the admin user, but even then, the images only displayed when you clicked the entry to view it, not by default.
It could be an issue with the theme I’m using, I don’t know, but it’s really too bad, this looked damn promising.
If the tags dissappear then you almost certainly still have the editor turned on somehow. Are you using the default editor or have you installed one of the alternatives like EditorMonkey?
Also there are a couple of places where you turn the editor off.
1. – Under the USERS, at the bottom of the page.
2. – Under OPTIONS-WRITING, under Formatting you can force the editor on for all users no matter what the above option is set to!
Usefull plugin you’ve got! I already istalled it and it’s working perfect, but I still have a couple of questions.
My plogger big thumbnail is set to 700 pixels, same as original size for pictures I downoald, cause I don’t want to create intermideate picture thumbnails. But in wordpress blog I would rather use a thumbnail (let’s say 400 pixels). Since the “plogphoto” tag is reffering to 700 pixels image I would like to know if there is a way to configure the size of the image somehow?
And when using “plogalbum” tag, it displays all the pictures in the album. What I need is a small thumbnail which will display just one picture from the album linking to the album (well, the thing with the link is adjustable).
Also can I call somehow the plogger collection?
Any idea’s on how it can be implemented?
Thanks a lot! And again – great plugin!
If you know php you could easily hack my plugin to do some of this.
But if you want a single thumbnail to link to an album, you could use the photo tag instead and set the options for the plugin to link to album.
Thumbnail sizes are set by plogger options. The plugin simply displays whatever plogger is creating in an image tag. I have kept this simple to let users apply their own css.
Different users keep coming up with different ideas on how they want the tags to link to albums or photos.
In future versions I will obviously take on board some of these ideas, but it is difficult to incorporate all possibilities and still have something that is easy to use.
Hi,
Many thanks for writing this plug-in, just what I was looking for. One problem, have embedded the links ok, but I don’t get the thumbnails on the WP page. Any ideas? Many thanks,
Terry
Not sure what you mean. Is the problem with the sidebar are with post tags?
Hi, fixed the trouble with album contents by checking the url in the plogger press setup, it was looking in the wrong place for the thumbnails.
Next problem…
I can’t get the sidebar to work, in which file and where should I insert the: plogger_press_sidebar() text? Does it need ‘s
Thanks for your help, Terry
Ooops, of course the ‘less than’ and ‘more than’ symbols were deleted as code, but that’s what I meant!
Terry
The sidebar function need inserting in your sidebar.php file in the theme you are using. Or use sidebar widget.
Hi am having problem showing my gallery…
I want it to look like this link
http://www.livingos.com/photos/
At the moment it looks like this…
http://www.mehta.com.au/picture-gallery/
please help…
Thanks

Hi Tim,
great Plugin! Installation was really easy. In the beginning I had the same problem as some other users in determining the correct ID of a photo or ablum. However, looking at the photo/alubm in plogger will give you the ID in the URL.
I have the same problem as Ash. I was trying to integrate the whole gallery into a wordpress page as you did on livingos.com. It seems that you applied a bit of magic to achive this. Can you give some hints on your approach. Is it possible to have an additional plugin tag (e.g. to include the whole plogger gallery with the search bar?
Thanks,
Jan
To integrate Plogger as I have you need to:
1. Merge your theme into the Plogger index page. Follow David Perality’s instructions.
2. Use the redectify plugin or similar to have a Page in your menu that links to the correct photo page.
Hi, Tim.
I’m trying integrate the Plogger gallery into my theme as you did, too. You said that we need to follow David Perality
Here you go: Integrating Plogger into WordPress
Hey Tim,
Thanks so much for your efforts with with all this. I got the plugin working great. As a bit of background, I’m using Plogger Beta3.
I found one small issue with the plugin and was able to fix it. However, I thought you’d like to know what I did.
In the code (of the plugin), I simply changed all the ‘index.php? links (in the switch statements) to just ‘?’. Why, you ask? Without doing this, the URL for the full sized image got munched.
If that doesn’t make sense, just email me and I’ll go into more detail.
Thanks again. I’d never have gotten this project off the ground without your plugin and documentation.
Thanks for this.
Hi there
The Plogger url, is it where I have my plogger-press.php file?
On my site it’s here:
/websites/hannechristine.dk/docs/wp-content/plugins/plogger-press/plogger-press.php
Or can it be, where I deside it to be:
http://www.yourdomain.com/plogger
Else I love the plugin. Love what people have done with it :O)
Best Regards
Thomas
