To fix the “ask the administrator to promote you” message with a tiny hack, simply replace line 14 of popup.php file with this:

if (!current_user_can(’publish_posts’)) // One-line hack to override $user_level

see the following link for more information:

I tried installing Photopress 0.9.6 and then also tried with 0.9.7. Neither version would work with my WP2.1 .
The problem seems to be in the use of the old user_levels. Even when I’m logged in as Administrator Photopress gives the message “Ask the administrator to promote you.” and won’t allow me to upload images.

Anyone else have this problem or know how I can fix it? I hope Photopress can upgrade to using roles instead of user_levels soon!

Photopress would be the ideal photo gallery/uploader/image management plugin for Wordpress.

One big problem is its conflict with widgets. This wouldn’t be that problematic, except there is interference with the RSS widget. Any ideas?

well, working fine for me in wp21 and opera.

just having a problem. when viewing a foto in gallery, somehow it uses the $s variable that wp uses as the search item, puting image name in search box.

also, pp_is_album works everywere but not when viewing a single photo.

also, is there any way to show in album more than two columns? in my theme there’s to much wasted space using only two

Using 9.6 in 2.1 I am unable to insert a photo from photo press. I do not see the photopress icon, but if i click on Code there is a button titled Photos, which works to upload photos, but when I try to insert I get a message in a Microsoft Internet Explorer box “A editor instance must be focused before using this command.” Any ideas?

Photopress 0.9.6 is not working with my WP 2.1 installation, it was in the former WP version but now, the toolbar icon does not appear.. I have enabled and disabled the option “Use buttonsnap library:” but none fixes the problem. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Taimur, if 0.9.6 works under 2.1 that’s welcome news for me. I had problems displaying the quicktag after a 2.0.7 > 2.1 upgrade, but omitted to rebuild the permalink structure. I’ll try when I get to my test site and let you know.

Photopress 0.9.6 is working perfectly well with WP 2.1 on all my sites - just remember to click â€œUpdate Permalink Structureâ€ in the permalink options after activating the plugin.

There are two minor problems that I would like to get rid of:

1. The thumbnails are arranged haphazardly in all galleries (I donâ€™t know what to change in the style sheet to have them appear neatly as before, i.e. two thumbnails per row.

2. In certain cases, the same â€œPosts with this imageâ€ link appears several times under the photograph.
