Premium WordPress Integration

LostCat do you mean without using the comments integration?

When you use the comments integration there's a setting to optionally set the last reply date of new comment threads to the current time, which will essentially achieve what you describe, by pushing the new Flarum discussion to the top of the discussion list.

Hi @clarkwinkelmann!
I was trying to purchase your plugin for my development build, but there is an issue with my email address verification on this website. Is there any other way I can make the purchase?

Thank you!

clarkwinkelmann

Giochan I cannot manually create or approve accounts on Flarum.org, but if you share your username or email address I can forward the question to the Flarum team. You can use the support email on my website if you want to share it privately.

Have you double checked your spam folder? If you were able to create an account on this forum there shouldn't be any issue creating a Flarum.org account, maybe there was a temporary issue.

clarkwinkelmann I've also received an email from this user and this topic was created by them as well: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/34645-new-website-more/14

I've pushed a change to flarum.org that should make this process easier.

The verification problem is resolved. Thank you very much Luceos!

One more thing, there is an interesting bug or behavior with the website:
If I scroll up to the first post of this thread and click on the "See and purchase on Extiverse" link, it will take me directly to the purchase page - https://flarum.org/extension/kilowhat/flarum-ext-wordpress with my account logged in. All good there and I can make the purchase.

But, if I scroll up to the first post of this thread and instead click on the "Check out the full documentation at https://kilowhat.net/flarum/extensions/wordpress" link and on the next page click on the "See and purchase on Flarum.org" link it will take me to the same purchase page as in the first case - https://flarum.org/extension/kilowhat/flarum-ext-wordpress but this time my account won't be logged in and it would be impossible to make the purchase even after logging in and repeating this pattern again.

Just something I thought you would like to know.
Cheers!

I've purchased the subscription and experimented with the plugin/add-on settings, and I love it! I’ll be upgrading to an annual subscription soon!

The only issue I'm facing at the moment is that the comments section loads the entire Flarum forum page instead of just the comments snippet, as shown in the tutorials and this site. The WordPress builder I'm using doesn’t auto-load the comments, so I’ve opted to use the shortcode method [flarum_comments].

marshwebsolutions sorry I haven't had the opportunity to check yet, I'll reply directly to your email as soon as I can.

I have a couple of questions:

1) I get the following error when trying to update my Flarum extensions including this WordPress integration extension:

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires kilowhat/flarum-ext-wordpress *, found kilowhat/flarum-ext-wordpress[2.0.1] in the lock file but not in remote repositories, make sure you avoid updating this package to keep the one from the lock file.

Is there something wrong i'm doing?

2) Can this WordPress integration extension be managed through the Flarum Extension Manager? If so, how do I add it there? What are the steps?

whisperwow

whisperwow I think I was able to figure out how to add updating this extension via the Flarum Extension Manager by implementing what I read here:

https://flarum.org/docs/guide/management/extensions#:~:text=You%20would%20specify%20the%20URL,page%20with%20the%20Instructions%20button.

whisperwow you probably need to update your Conposer configuration to use premium extensions from Flarum.org This could be because the token expired, or because you have not used Composer since Extiverse was renamed to Flarum.org

It should be possible to use the Extension Manager once Flarum.org is configured, but I have never tried this feature myself.

whisperwow

clarkwinkelmann Thanks. What are the steps to updating the Composer configuration to use premium extensions? My token is not expired yet.

clarkwinkelmann

whisperwow click "Instructions" at the top of this page https://flarum.org/dashboard/subscriptions it will guide you through the setup. If the site doesn't work for you you'll have to wait until you get this resolved with luceos.

If you still have references to extiverse.com in your composer.json, you should probably remove them but I don't think it's required as long as you have the new flarum.org repository.

Version 2.0.2 - January 30, 2025

Allow more recent versions of the dependencies to be used, increasing compatibility with other extensions.
Strip <span> and <div> from the WP post content when read as Markdown by third-party extensions.
Fix typo in setting description.

clarkwinkelmann

Note: it seems like version 2.0.2 of the Flarum extension is no longer compatible with PHP versions below 8.1 (Errors related to Spatie URL Signer library when using the SSO feature).

I have not decided how to proceed yet. There is no downside to staying on version 2.0.1 for now if you are impacted.

I'll decide on the next update whether I fix the compatibility or drop it entirely. Please let me know if you are a user of the extension and need ongoing support for PHP 7.4 or 8.0.

whisperwow

clarkwinkelmann I am using the extension and enjoy/need it very much for my site. I am on PHP 8.2.27 so I do not need ongoing support for PHP 7.4 or 8.0.

NetConfig

@clarkwinkelmann

Hi Clark, I'm also on 8.2.27 per the Admin dashboard and on the 2.02 version of the WP integration extension on the Flarum side.

Everything is working just fine and I'm not concerned about that compatibility issue with earlier PHP versions either.

IMO, it makes the most sense to stay "close to fully up to date" with software, including website related components.
