Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Live Blogging
The very first thing you need to do is select a post which to use as the shell for your live blog. Either create a new post, or select an existing one to edit, and then to the right of your post screen, there should be an option entitled: "Enable live blogging on this post". Without this option being enabled, you
The final step is very important. You must insert the shortcode [liveblog] somewhere within your post which indicates where the liveblog is to appear. Now, your live blog is set up! You can select 'Add New' from the sidebar under 'Live Blog Entries', choose the live blog you want the update to apply to from the list in the sidebar, and then create your entry as per usual. Once you have finished with your live blog, untick the ``Enable live blogging on this post'' box. This will stop automatic updating and any new updates to be added to the live blog, but will preserve any existing live blogging entries for posterity.
If the plugin detects that old data from the plugin exists, then it will prompt you to upgrade on the options screen. Also, a 'Live Blogging Migration' option
all your old entries to the new version. Please note that live blogs created in previous versions of the software can not have new entries added to them. Please note that it is recommended that you disable posting to Twitter when running a migration, as the migration will cause all legacy entries to be posted to Twitter.
Unfortunately this is a limitation on the system - any new entries must appear at the top of the live blog. Readers who come in after the blog was posted, or users who subsequentally refresh will see the blog posts in the correct order. I'm using TwentyTen and comment updating doesn't look right Add: add_filter('live_blogging_build_comments', 'twentyten_liveblogging_comments'); function twentyten_liveblogging_comments($a) { $a['callback'] = 'twentyten_comment'; return $a; } to your functions.php in your theme. Comment updating does not appear to work on my theme For comment updating to work, you must be using a reasonably standard comment setup. That is, your theme must generate comments using wp_list_comments and put them in an element with an ID of commentlist. If your theme does not do these things, it is recommended that you disable comment updating in the option panel. If your theme does support this, but comment updating still does not work correctly, it is possible that your theme is calling wp_list_comments with non-default arguments. It is possible to account for this using a filter. Using the live_blogging_build_comments filter, you can return the arguments
your default theme. For an example of how to do this, see above.
Sorry, this is a design issue with the software. It is recommended that you do not re-use any imported live blogs in this way.
Meteor is a streaming web server that allows you to instantly "push" updates out to your readers. This is the technology Twitterfall uses, and the advice of the Twitterfall creators was useful in developing this functionality. Using Meteor allows you to lower your server load, as well as quicker updates for your readers. There is a catch, however. Meteor is a web server separate to what servers your normal website and requires special configuration to set up, and your own server or VPS to run it on. Shared hosting is, typically, unsuitable. If you are a professional blogger, running your blog from a server where you
plugin with Meteor is highly recommended. For more about Meteor, please see the Meteor website.
Yes, it does! Editing a post does not change the tweet the software generated It is impossible to edit tweets. A decision was made not to implement this functionality, as it may result in out-of-order or duplicate tweets in a user's timeline. If you really need to delete a tweet, it is recommended that you either delete the tweet manually, or delete the post and create a new one.
