This space has been made public and relocated to a new group under Wordpress Repo Plugins.
It's officially in the repo. Go download and give me feedback on improvement.
The plugin has been officially approved, and will be listed shortly. At this point I have to manually upload the approved version and then wait for it to propagate to the WP Repository. Once it's done, it will be available for download.
Here's the official url which is not live until said propagation is completed.
Received an update from WP for Linked Terms, had to fix two minor issues, provide a dns text record to prove ownership of this domain since the plugin links back to here, and update the readme file as I forgot to include information about the external api's used for the term discovery feature. I have resubmitted the fixes as requested.
Received another update that they don't like the name as they feel it's both to generic and anti-competitive. I have resubmitted per their requirements and have "officially" changed the plugin and slug to Linked Terms by Jeff Brigman. This should meet their requirements as many other plugins have similar naming.
I will update this post as I get more info from them.
Sorry for the delay on releasing this, but I've had a bad stomach bug past week that I'm finally getting over. However on a good/happy note, I have decided to release the full version for free. I will be submitting it to the Wordpress Repository hopefully later today to start the approval process.
The full current version includes all feature I had intended to split between a free and pro version.
FCom integration (works with both free and pro fcom versions), Term Discovery, Analytics, Import/Export.
I will have more information in regards to future updates after the current version is posted there.
Please report any issues in this thread with the following information:
- Linked Terms -> Settings ->Help & Support -> Enable Debug and save. Then Copy/Paste that info here.
- Right Click on the Page with issues -> Inspect -> Console (if console doesn't contain any logs (errors, warnings, info, logs, debug) info, reload the page with inspect) and Copy/Paste that info here also. Please ensure you copy/paste the full info.
Known Issues
Analytics not properly tracking in respective FCom spaces/Spaces but is working correctly in main feed.FIXEDFCom Content Types not working correctly.FIXED
The plugin is now ready for a public beta release. Please use on a non critical and non production site, or spin up a temporary one using the WordPress Playground.
You do not have to have FluentCommunity to use, nor does it require the Pro version should you choose to only use the free version. This is just an overview of some of the features and honestly there's a lot more there than what I've listed below.
In the Term Discovery feature, I will be adding API's for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
Please note that features such as the FCom integration, Analytics, Term Discovery, and Import/Export are all found under the Add-On's tab and once enable and saved, you can access and/or edit the settings for each. Some such as Analytics and Import/Export are under the Linked Terms main menu on the main left admin menu.
This plugin is installed and running on this site right now.
I look forward to your feedback and suggestions.
