This is the last test, before I dump this plugin for good…
Addedum: For everyone that has had problems getting the last version of the Pingpress.fm plugin to work (2.2.7), here’s the work around that I’ve found.
The main problem I had was that I couldn’t add any triggers and posts were not pinged to Ping.fm Judging from the Getsatisfaction page of the plugin author I wasn’t the only one with that problem in that particular version either. So I took an older version (2.2.6) from the plugin repository of WordPress and installed that one. Which DID work, however the html tags clearly were all over the place. Next step: take the new version 2.2.7 and just overinstall that in your FTP program, replacing what needs, leaving what doesn’t et voilà: it works. Either by fluke or chance, doesn’t matter: I can add custom triggers and they get activated. Hope this helps someone else too.
For everyone else: this ends the technical chatter.

I looks like the mobile version works fine.
Thank you Yseult
Great to hear that. Thanks, Ronald for testing it out so quickly
Well done and thanks!
I got an email via the ‘Get Satifaction’ page telling me about your fix.
Hi
Thanks for passing on your info on how you solved the problem. Unfortunately it all sounds to technical for me so I will have to wait for the fix, or I may just see if I can upload an earlier version and see if that works
Cheers

OOOoops. It’s actually not that technical.
You can go here http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pingpressfm/download/ and download the 2.2.6 version of the plugin. Make sure you have backed up the current version (2.2.7.) Unzip and then upload the old version onto your server. Then upload the 2.2.7 version right after that. Go to activate the plugin as usual and then start activating or creating new triggers.
Seems like it works for people as a work around. If you need help, just say the word.
Hi Yseult
Thanks for the extra info. I will give it a go
Cheers

Thanks Yseult,
That worked great. The only clarification I would make is:
I uploaded and activated 2.2.6 through wordpress then unzipped and uploaded the *new pingpressfm folder (from 2.2.7) via ftp and overwrote all files that were in conflict…works like a charm now. Appreciate your efforts!
