Just found this post about the WordPress plugin. Really easy to install and it worked first time - what a lifesaver!!
- RichardMaloneyCommunity Member
Just so you know Chris, the "free" plugin only works for 3 uploads, then
you're expected to pay for it.
I was lucky. The creator of the plugin was very generous and gave me an
incredible discount (for being an educator in a financially depressed city).
Hope THIS helps, too!
:-)
Glad to hear it Chris! Thanks for popping in to share.
Thanks for sharing Richard :)

Does anyone know if there is a way to get this plugin to work outside of the 'Add Post' option? That works if your site is set up like a blog, but mine is set up as a business website, and I need to use containers and content boxes to make sure my content is in the appropriate section of my website, lined up into proper columns, etc. However, none of the content box options show the 'a' symbol to be able to upload the Articulate file (this only seems to be an option under the 'Add Post' area). However, I don't have a blog set up, so I can't use the 'Add Post' feature. I have to be able to upload it into a content box. I posted this question to the developer as well, but if I don't hear back, I thought I would see if anyone else had suggestions for using this plugin.
Hi Heather! Asking the developer was probably the best choice here, but the community is great and perhaps someone will be able to assist you.

The developer hasn't answered any of the questions posted in the last month, so I thought I might get a quicker response here (if anyone knew). Worth a shot.
With the knowledge and speed of this community, I'm sure it was worth a shot for sure. I'll try to ping the developer as well.
Hi Linda,
That's the first time I've heard of that error message - perhaps it's based on the level of your account with Dropbox? I know a number of users in this forum have shared that they use dropbox regularly to share their files.

I still haven't maxed out my Dropbox capacity, the error message (error 429) said it was due to the amount of traffic to my files. I have the basic service, but when I Googled the error message, some people who paid for the upgrade had the same issue.
My files are back online now, but if I get a bunch of views tomorrow, it could be down again.
Definitely an interesting one and one I hadn't heard before Linda - did you reach out to Dropbox in terms of if there is a traffic limit?
- LindaLorenzettiSuper Hero
No, I haven't spoken to Dropbox, but I did read what others had experienced with the same error. I used Dropbox for years without a problem, but I have put all of my challenge entries on it. Maybe the combination of people looking at multiple challenges was the cause, I'm not sure.

Hi Linda. An aside from the current topic, but related: where on the articulate website would I find the challenges? I need to review/brush up on my storyline skills.
Thank you.

I am watching this conversation closely and eagerly await the next comment... it's like reading a really good book series: I can't wait for the next book! :~)
