“* If you don’t use [verification-url] that information will be appended to your message after a blank line.”

I’m using this plugin solely for sending an email to pending comments and don’t necessarily need the verification URL in the message.

Thanks!

I tried to install your comment e-mail verification plugin on http://www.democratieubb.ro – a website dealing with the democratisation of the Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj, Romania. I could not make the plugin work. Could you please tell me if you tried the plugin with WordPress 3.3.1 (and if it worked for you) or if you are planning to release a new version?

Thanks a lot.

For example in my most recent post, if I post that URL to FB the description reads “Snowboarding is by far one of my biggest passions and when my trip to Big Sky, Montana fell through I had to scramble to make something happen. Thankfully the Internet exists and we have these things called Facebook and Twitter. Back in 2007 I met Esp…”

But my meta description which FB would use before this plugin is “There are a lot of resorts in the United States, but none offer a better value than the Epic Local Pass to Colorado.”

Is there a way to control this so I don’t get the random unfinished sentence with the …?

Thanks.

You appear to be using a custom URL for the image. It’s www.30isthenew20.com/headshot.jpg but Facebook rejects that because it doesn’t start with either http:// or https:// – you should just prepend http:// and it’ll show.

I believe something must have recently changed with Facebook because when posting before I was getting my featured image and title and description. I was using FetenWeb image_src Metatag. I installed yours as recommended by NicktheGeek from StudioPress, but I’m still having the same issue.

If you look at my most recent post you will see the OG code is all there.

Do you know what might be causing this?

I’m using a theme from http://www.press75.com.
It uses the following code to show thumbnails in posts:

<img src="ID); ?>" alt="" />


How can I solve/integrate it to show thumbs correctly on my fb page

Thanks a lot!

I’m using your great plug-in at blog.vcha.ca. We only accept comments from our own employees. After we run a validation script to ensure the email is from our organization’s domain, we are using your plug-in to verify:

1. The email is an @vch.ca email capable of receiving email (i.e. there’s a live person at the other end and it’s not just a made-up address on the correct domain)
2. The comment submitter is the true author of the comment (i.e. one employee isn’t pretending to be another).

Sometimes our staff don’t put their email correctly into the comment form— either due to a typo or just because they do not use their work email very often due to the type of job they have with us.

It would be very helpful if you could add a link to “resend validation email” beside the “Approve (pending E-mail verification)” link in the comments dashboard screen. This way once I correct the address typo and update the comment I could put them back into the validation que.

Thanks again for all your work on this great tool.

Most of the time that line should remain unaltered. The portion in backticks is a so-called external command, i.e. it is executed and then replace by the output of the command. If you run hostname --fqdn you’ll get something like “myserver.mydomain.tld” so that line would end up doing the same as FROMADDRESS="svn@myserver.mydomain.tld"

If and only if sending using that address causes any issues you should put a different E-mail address in there. If you just replace the word “hostname” you’ll most likely break the script and get an error message.

In any case you shouldn’t put the server’s IP address here; an E-mail address such as “svn@192.0.2.42″ will not work as expected in most cases.

Update: I just noticed that my instructions might have been confusing. I updated the post accordingly.

FROMADDRESS="svn@`hostname --fqdn`"

I have several repositories on my server and I am not sure, do I replace the hostname with the IP address? My repositories are located at svn://ipaddress/repo1, svn://ipaddress/repo2, etc.

Strictly speaking Open Graph Protocol metadata is not (X)HTML but RDFa.

So to pass the W3C Markup Validation Service you need to change your site’s doctype declaration. You will probably find this in your theme’s header.php file. Here’s a page describing what you need to do: http://rdfa.info/wiki/How-to-validate

Please note that there are still different doctypes for XHTML Transitional, (Strict) XHTML, etc. (even for HTML 4) in combination with RDFa.

Unfortunately there’s no way to have the plugin change this automagically as there is no filter for the doctype declaration. It’s hardcoded in all themes I know, including all “official” themes.
