With a new release and improved code we doubled the amount of suggested images. Give it a try and tell us if it's enough now.

Jure Cuhalev replied on July 02, 2008 11:11 to the question "Does Zemanta work on WPMU?" in Zemanta:

To expand on this answer: Zemanta works on WPMU through Browser Add-ons (Firefox, IE).

But plugin is not yet compatible.

No, not yet. We are working on it though.

No, it turns out it was a plugin that was causing the overlap issue. When I uninstalled it, everything is fine.

I love Zemanta!

Thanks!

Margaret

FYI: Just tried it again and now it seems to work. I'll try again tomorrow if it's still working.

Hi Margaret, I am not able to reproduce this problem. Is it still present and if it is, which WordPress plugins are you using?

I tried to check this but Opera 9.5 seems to generally misbehaving on my two machines. Hopefully I will be able to fix this soon.

I'll keep you posted as I learn more.

Chris, thanks for sharing this. We'll keep this in mind and try to build our next versions in a way that won't present this problem for other new users.

Chris replied on June 23, 2008 23:21 to the question "How can I completely uninstall WordPress extension?" in Zemanta:

Marko,

I've taken all the "reblog" buttons and links off of my blog. To explain, I used Zemanta merely to add tags to posts. I went back and used Zemanta to add more relevant tags to some older posts. In every post I used Zemanta to add tags, a < div >, a little "reblog" button, and a link to Zemanta were inserted at the end.

Zemanta was very helpful, but I wouldn't have installed it originally if I knew the button and links would be added to my blog.

Marko Samastur replied on June 23, 2008 12:07 to the problem "Clicking on reblog button gives error" in Zemanta:

New method should work for everyone, even if privacy control is set. We can let you know when it's available so you can test it yourself.

Roger replied on June 23, 2008 11:31 to the problem "Clicking on reblog button gives error" in Zemanta:

Thanks Jure,
Your information was very helpful.

I tried other browsers with the same result. However, since you thought it might be privacy settings, I checked Norton Internet Security (which I currently use). When I turned off "Privacy Control" the reblog capability worked as advertised.

Will the new method overcome this or will it only work for those who do not have privacy control set?

Thanks again for your help.

Jure Cuhalev replied on June 23, 2008 11:14 to the problem "Clicking on reblog button gives error" in Zemanta:

Roger, I checked in our logs and it seems that your browser doesn't send us "referrer" address and because of this we fail for your browser. Are you using any special privacy settings?

On the same note, we realize that this is a problem. We're releasing a new version of reblog that has new techniques to solve this, so it will automatically work better for all cases of reblog button.

If it bothers you a lot, you can also manually delete it, or change preferences for new post from Zemanta widget by selecting Preferences and then choosing a different option.

A comment on the problem "Clicking on reblog button gives error" in Zemanta:

Jure, I included the url for the blog post when I described my problem. This has nothing to do with previewing the post. It has now been over 17 hours and the button still takes me to an error page. – Roger, on June 23, 2008 10:49

A comment on the problem "Clicking on reblog button gives error" in Zemanta:

MArko, It has now been over 17 hours since the post was published. I continue to get the same result, Is this the normal lag time you are referring to? – Roger, on June 23, 2008 10:45

Jure Cuhalev replied on June 23, 2008 07:16 to the problem "Clicking on reblog button gives error" in Zemanta:

Roger, just a quick extra note that now reblog button works on your page.

The only thing to watch for is that we can only work on published posts, if you're clicking on it while previewing post, we can't work since we can't fetch the contents of the post.

Marko Samastur replied on June 23, 2008 06:55 to the problem "Clicking on reblog button gives error" in Zemanta:

No, you don't have to do anything, but we should. Right now it usually takes a certain amount of time between blog post and reblog for it to work.

We are working on at least significantly reducing if not completely removing this lag, but in the meantime we should at least better communicate what is happening and why.

Thank you for letting us know.

Marko Samastur replied on June 23, 2008 06:44 to the question "How can I completely uninstall WordPress extension?" in Zemanta:

Certainly unethical, if that's what it does. It shouldn't, all links should result from blogger willingly apply links by clicking on presented suggestions. It's therefore probably a bug. Could you please give me a link to a sample post where this happened so we can try to find and fix the problem?

The only exception to the above is the reblog image at the end of post, which gets added when Zemanta gets used (when any suggestion gets clicked on). It is, as I've explained, optional even though on by default.

You are right, it is not possible to remove plugin (yet) without leaving a trace. This is our first WP plugin release and we plan to address this and other issues in future ones. I'm not sure if we will be able to automatically remove traces of Zemanta from old posts though, since as yet I am not aware of a way in WordPress to do this, but I am certain we can at least take care of API key in database.
