Nice plugin. However it would be a huge time saver if the following could be included:
1. Keywords to WordPress Tags
2. Select the WordPress Image size to include in the Post. Usually this is smaller than the lightbox version.
3. Set Feature Image checkbox.

Optionally, the Categories would also be nice.

I agree — that would make this plugin exceptionally useful. My blog posts are almost exclusively structured around photos, but have text and tags as well. I’d link to them, but they’re gated. Anyhoo, just wanted to add my vote to this request.

Awesome plugin, I use it with wordpress.

I would really love to see these features:
1. image shooting date to “Publish on:” date
2. Token(s) to Post Tag(s)
3. “set as featured image” check box
4. Category check boxes

Hi,
I’m currently developing a gallery template/plugin for wordpress and I’m working with custom post types to realize a advanced gallery. While doing that I was looking for a solution to upload my images directly from lightroom and I found your Plugin. Long story short it’s amazing, but have you ever considered to support custom post types, introduced with WP 3.0 http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types currently it’s only possible to create a post but in my case the custom post is called gallery. That would be great, let me know if this is possible and I would love to use the Plugin after it’s implemented.

Hi Tim!

As a professional photographer, I spend countless hours everyday in Lightroom. When posting to a blog, the last thing I want to do is spend hours formatting and importing images; this plugin works fantastically and really integrates well into my workflow. Any professional photographer using Lightroom and WordPress should consider this plugin!

oh and another one … it would be nice to have that feature under the publication tab …

Hi,

Your pluggin is BRILLIANT! It really eases the workflow, fantastic.

one more vote for the image keywords going directly to the wordpress keywords box …

and another one: possibility to add custom field with token content …

great work man!

kate

Hi Bill,

There’s no need to fill in the information each time – just create an export preset from the left hand side of the export dialog.

I love this plug-in, and use it often. However, I manage multiple blogs. I need multi-blog capability, so I don’t have to re-enter all the blog info every time I switch to a different one.

I don’t know how many other photographers upload photos to multiple blogs – but it’s a great marketing feature when shooting for customers – “I can upload directly to your blog, put in a placeholder article, you can put in the text and publish when you’re ready.”

Hello,

Thank you for your plugins!!! They are so great. I was wondering if it would be possible to choose which album your uploaded photos are placed into in PicasaWeb before they are uploaded to the new post?

Thanks!

Jason

Hi Tim,

I’m using your plugin regularly It’s great.
One addition I would like to see is to add a picture to a blog post as a featured image instead of putting the image in the post.
Just an overall checkbox for this will do .

Best regards,
Wessel

Thank you! As I just wrote on my blog: “I’m kicking myself for not having used this very nice plug-in for Lightroom. It makes it ridiculously easy to create blog posts directly from Lightroom”. Wish I had tried LR2/Blog earlier. Here is my first post using it:

Hello Tim,

This plug In is great! Thanks!

I have been doing an “Image of the Day” on my blog. Is there a way using this plugin to select a group of images and have the plugin create a new post for each individual image? Also having control over the publish date to make it publish on proceeding days for each image would be SO GREAT!

Much thanks!

TUMBLR SUPPORT PLEASE!
I just got in contact with Jeffrey Friedl and he pointed me to this exporter because i want a TUMBLR EXPORTER!
It would make my life, and clearly a few other of your users lives, heaps easier.
cheers

I really love the Plugin!

I understand how to embed title and caption in the HTML for each photo – but in WordPress the file is uploaded to the Media library and that library also contains a Title (is currently set as the wp-filenamne from LR2Blog) and Caption field.
Is there a way to isntruct the plugin to set these fields according to the Title and Caption of the LR database?

Is it possible to make this plugin use the – photo taken date – as the WP Published on – date ?

By: ToddM

Hey Tim,

Is there any way to incorporate the {DaysSince=YYYY-MM-DD} token that Jeffrey Friedl uses in his plugin templates?

Thanks!

Hi. This is possible using the token fetaures.

Tumblr support would be nice!

what about support for Facebook? Or is that considered ‘out of scope’ for this plugin?

By: Andrew Newdigate

Andrew Newdigate — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 09:03:45 +0000

Hi Tim,

Would it be possible to export the title and the caption from Lightroom into wordpress?

Thanks for a great plugin!

Quick heads up for anyone else out there that got this error: disabling the SlidePress plugin (in WordPress) fixed the issue.

Random, and quite annoying as I needed that!

Hi,

All my plugins will have LR3 support when its released. Some of them already work on the beta but others don’t due to bugs that I can’t workaround in (in the beta, not in the plugins)

do you have any timeline for supporting LR3?

Hi,
Thanks for creating such a useful plug-in.
I’ve got one question: Is it possible to use html comments () in the blogpost template? It’s left out in the generated blogger post.
I’d like to use the (new) feature.

TIA,

Marco

does your artisan page (http://www.timothyarmes.com/en/galleries/artisans/barbier/)
use this Plug-in?
or this plug-in can simply let LR to ‘wrap’ all my photos and upload to wordpress(self-host) to play as a flash slide show like your page?(http://www.timothyarmes.com/en/galleries/artisans/barbier/)

When I upload a picture to my Google blog with no additional settings it posts the picture as its original size. This is way too big and does not show the complete picture on my blog. When I specify {url[300]} it is able to show the entire picture on my blog, but I can not click on it to make it bigger. What do I need to specify so it shows a thumbnail image on my blog and when users click on it the picture will enlarger?

Woudl be great it Tumblr support was added. I’m likely using that for a photoblog and doing a direct export from LR would be a huge timesaver.

Hello

I am having problems with the file renaming, and description population. Im using WordPress/Atom.

here is a screenshot of my setup:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/86499/image%20hosting/LR2B-ss1.jpg

and this is the result:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/86499/image%20hosting/LR2B-ss2.jpg.jpg
• filename and description is just the same random letters (im guessing a replacement for no data found)

thanks,

Rhys

I am not an html expert, but this is how I upload a 1024 X 680 image from lightroom, display it as a 500 X 333 image in my blog. When clicked it opens as the original 1024 version.

Hi Simon,

Did you ever solve this? I’ve just downloaded the LR2/Blog plugin and am trying to get it to work with blogger – no joy – just getting the same error you had.

Note that the photos are appearing in my picasa web albums – but not on the blog.

using all the default values.

any help appreciated.

Jim, I have been using LR2/Blog from my daily photo post for a couple of months now. see http://t-p-t.blogspot.com for an example. Most of the posts are produced straight from my template. Works well.
My next task is to modify my blogger template so I can post images wider than 400px. Also on June 10 above, I posted a suggestion for implementing a click through to a larger version of the image.

Sharon – the standard export presets work great with LR2Blog. I post to two different blogs using the plugin – I have a preset for each one.

By: sharon

sharon — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 22:06:45 +0000

Thanks for the great plug in! I am wondering if you can add in the future, I way to have presets for your blog or blogs. If I choose to export using a preset, my blog info is deleted when I come back. Also I have more than one blog ad would like to have different presets or even a way to remember the login info for them. Thank you!

Anyone have any idea whether this works with the PixelPost platform?

By: Weldon Brewster

Weldon Brewster — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:18:23 +0000

One last question. Is it possible to add a custom field and custom field text that would be the url of the image? I.e. Upload three images and they are treated as three separate posts with the custom field ‘image’ and ‘image’ text being the url of the image. I’m using the Photo Nexus wordpress theme and the galleries treat each image as a separate post. It’s a pain if you have a lot of images.

Thanks,
Weldon

Hi, first of all great job on the plugin, I’m using it on my trip and it’s a really handy to update my blogger.
But recently I got into a problem. I’m using a gps unit on my nikon camera to geotag all my pics. Your plugin provides tokens to insert that data into html. The thing is the {gps} token works, but all the other gps related tokens don’t work. I fail to export if I use any of those tokens and i get a popup woth the following error:
warning
unable to export;
An internal error has occurred: ./LR2BlogTokens.lua;253: attempt to gt length of global ‘value’ (a number value)

I need those tokens because I want to generate a google maps url that contains those decimal gps tokens.
Can you help me out?

pretty amazing plug! – will play more with it during the next days.

And (no kudos without requests and whining, *lol*) I’d like to second a suggestion someone made earlier this year:
Wordpress internal gallery functions are still quite a bit, err, “limited”. So many folks including me use nextgen gallery whenever there is need for more than a single pic in a post…

any intentions to include support for this or any other WP gallery plugin?
Cheers & big thanks!
Martin
