Finally I managed to update the website template and fix the layout. The right sidebar has been floating to the bottom of the page for “a while”
Now everything looks in a good shape, for the time being at least! I also noticed that the final release of TubePress.NET with the latest bug fixes was not updated on the website (available through the Download button). However to those who are downloading TubePress from the wordpress plugin directory here should not have any problems.
Anyway, I also updated the package on the website now.

Despite all recent efforts in rewriting the plugin code to make as simple as possible and seemless to the wordpress engine yet usefull to the user, one should always keep in mind that the environment where the plugin (wordpress installation) is running could affect the overall performance.
This mainly depends on your hosting plan: the PHP configuration on the server. In the current release, the plugin is able to automatically detect whether the required environment is available or not. It can even try to adjust the settings but in some cases, (usually on shared hosting), PHP scripts don’t have privileges to change configuration, so the plugin will fail to adjust the environment and will print a warning message about the required settings and asks you to contact your hosting provider.

Hopefully, you should not see any strange warning or error messages from now on. My tips to check whether the import was successfull is not to rely on what you see in your website. Instead go to Manage in you admin panel and check the sub section Posts or Pages and see if you find the videos that you recently imported. If the videos are there, then TubePress has done its job successfully.

So now we are sure that TubePress is working fine, but you go to the website and for some reason you don’t see the videos.
First thing to do is to check the template. Although it never happened before that a template affects the performance, but it’s a good start to check that no posts / pages are being rejected by the template.
Next and the most important is to check the plugins and boy what a list! I intended to avoid Wordpress plugin API in TubePress to avoid compatibility problems with other plugins.
This is a real problem, if 2 plugins (at least) are accessing the same information and making some processing before presenting it to the visitor’s screen, each plugin should take into account the other because basically you can’t control which plugin is running first so you don’t know which plugin is accessing the original data and which one is getting the output of another plugin.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter what data is presented to the plugin, since each plugin does a totally different job, but what if the plugin is getting an input from trigger from the content data of a post or changing the layout ?

Can you imagine in what mess the post will end up if you have more than 20 plugins running on your site?

TubePress.NET works on the same level as the wordpress engine which means that it uses core functions together with its own classes and functions, and does not make use of the WP plugins API (hooks).
The only api function that TubePress actually uses is to create the menu inside the admin panel. This should be safe as long as the functions called have a unique name.

If you get stuck and still having problems with importing youtube videos to wordpress please let me know and I will be pleased to assist you.
