Frequently Asked Questions

Do you recommend a hosting provider?
Media Temple's Managed WordPress Hosting. Media temple is our favorite hosting company because their Managed WordPress Hosting package is easy to set up and manage. They handle backups, provide malware detection and removal and our favorite feature, site staging and cloning.

We've also tested the plugin on the following hosting services and plans. We confirm they are compatible.

• BlueHost (WordPress)
• Dreamhost (WordPress)
• Hostgator (WordPress)

Does the plugin support multiple projects?
At this time the plugin only supports one project at a time. Multi-project support is on our roadmap.

Does this plugin work with Wordpress MU (multi-user)?
We haven't tested or explicitly built the plugin to work with Wordpress MU. That's not to say it won't work, only that our initial release didn't target a multi-user environment.

TEMPLATE CHANGES

• If you are using the default template and you haven't moved the publish-templates folder into the theme folder, you don't have to do anything.
• If you're using the default template and have moved the publish-templates folder into the theme folder, you need to copy the new publish-templates folder into your current theme.

• If you've created your own, please review the information below:

  All relative links will be turned into full URLs: for example: if you create a link /image/1.jpg the packager will turn this into: http://yourdomain.com/image/1.jpg. Relative links are no longer relative to the .article file. This is part of a bigger move to allow any theme / template to be packaged. That will come in a release soon.

  There's a new way to add files to the .article using the dpsfa_bundle_article filter:

  Automatic: Specify full url to file (array of images) Specifying the full url will create the necessary folder structure in the article and download the external file Folder structure for external resources: ARTICLE > sanitized hostname > path > file Example: array('http://www.domain.com/wp-content/themes/theme/file.jpg') will put that file in the article as: domaincom/wp-content/themes/theme/file.jpg     

  Manual: Specify the full paths array( "file path relative in article" => "file path relative to server (or url)" ) You can have control over where the file is placed in the article and where to pull it from the server Example: array( array('slideshow/image/file.jpg' => 'www/wp-content/themes/theme/file.jpg') ) will put that file in the article as: domaincom/wp-content/themes/theme/file.jpg
