    hi Brajesh,

    yes, the images are “linked to media” as per your screenshot.

    It is important in this case to note that all the blogs on my site are built using the buddyBlog and SFEP plugin from buddyDev, from the FRONT END. My users simply use whatever the buddyBlog interface provides them, automatically sets for them, on the front end.

    hi Brajesh,

    I agree with you, that a post is a post is a post. The WPSSO plugin author originally saw that slightly differently. The issue is to simply identify whether the post is a blog post, or something else under the buddyPress umbrella.

    However, the WPSSO plugin author appears to be helpfully working with me on this issue, so perhaps I should not waste your time, at this time, on this issue. Closing for now.

    yes, but I think that’s just “post_type=post”, which is fine, but doesn’t help us identify buddyblog itself 🙂

    hi Brajesh,

    a question, might it be possible to assign a unique post_type to buddyBlog posts, so people can program against it cleanly?

    hi Brajesh,

    I understand it’s not simple to understand 🙂 There is a ticket, for the WPSSO plugin, which I have opened and may help with clarifying what the issue is.

    http://support.surniaulula.com/support/tickets/4684

    Essentially, WPSSO *assumes* that if an item is a component therefore it is also an activity. I think this assumption is wrong. For instance a member is a component, but a member is not an activity. It is the same with the buddyBlog, I think, as imho. buddyBlog is a component but not an activity. Their logic seems to be:

    
    if component {
      therefore activity 
    }
    

    I think it should be:

    
    if component {
      may be activity
    }
    

    The problem is with WPSSO-RRSSB-Free which displays buddyBlog share links in the free version, (which does not support buddyPress). and WPSSO-RRSSB-Pro which does NOT display buddyBlog share links, (and does support buddyPress). It’s weird, I know 🙂

    yep, I see your reasoning. Given that my existing (u)likes are also in (to mediapress) unknown tables, if existing (u)likes were to be brought across, then this might be a moderately simple SQL operation. Although on each site, it would be different plugins/tables, so we can’t expect mediapress to handle that in any case.

    Ok, thanks for the feedback, this is helpful to locally plan ahead.

    hi Brajesh,

    further to this, a couple of questions before I implement my own solution out of frustration.

    1. Do you have an ETA on your own media-like plugin?

    2. Will your media-like plugin include thumbs-up/down?

    3. Will your media-like plugin fetch existing media counts and merge them to the mpp-add-media activity post.

    4. And vice-versa (mpp-add-media activity counts merge to media file).

    6. Etc. 🙂

    It’d be important (for me) to have any additional media-like plugin “appear” to be not too different from the existing wp_ulike plugin. Otherwise users will become even more confused than usual…

    Feedback welcome here.

    yes, Brajesh, I’d forgotten about the Oembed link. I think the placeholder text is fine as it is. The error message could mention both the two types of link: direct link (jpg, etc) and Oembed. That might make things much clearer.

    hi Brajesh,

    looks like your thoughts on this were correct. I did a massive clean-out, update and refresh, of plugins, first removing them cleanly and then reinstalling several, including removing a number of no longer used ones. Then I began removing the used ones too.

    This appears to have finally resolved the issue/s. All fine at this end, closing…!
