My site is about photography and though I have a few of those already, this is the first where I ditched Vbadvanced and when with WordPress. It's been fun messing with it, long hours, but almost done. You can PM yours, I'll PM you mine (grin) if yours is not on photography.

Also, I had sent in $$ to Survivor to go brand free, does it still apply here or do I need to send some to Jaxel for his version too? Thanks, rg.

Rolando,

Jaxel's version is based off of Surviver's mod. So, the brand-free would still apply if you already purchased it from Surviver. Although, I'm sure that Jaxel wouldn't mind a little donation for his help to the community in taking Surviver's great mod to the next level

Oh, and I'd love to see what you've done with the WP site. I've been toying with the idea for quite some time and would love to see what you did (and how you did it ) with the 'seamlessness' of it

Have been trying to install this mod and after we get it installed, we see everything, but for some reason we have no settings under general. What could be causing this? Also, when we add a url under video hosters we dont get anything to show up. We are using version 3.74. Anyone have any ideas for us?
Thanks in advanced.

[ArnyVee]

adloos, it should have it's own "section" in admincp. Listed as "videos". Maybe refresh the screen on the admincp and see if it shows.

I'm using 3.7.4 and it's showing on mine. www.waltdisneyboards.com/videos

[Leo Brazil]

It's working fine on 3.8.0

[adloos]

maybe we will try reinstalling it again. Weird to have no settings under general settings.
Just thought maybe someone had this same error before.

Survivor. I found out what the problem was with the settings classes... A video hoster cant handle only having ONE custom setting. If you have two or more custom settings, it works fine. But if you only have one custom setting, it breaks. Would you mind looking into this?

Upload?

Maybe the fact that guests don't have permission to view that URL is the problem?
