Hi,
I know I’m gonna ask a stupid question, but guess what, I didn’t figure out by myself the trivial answer : How do I retrieve my S.U id?…
I’ve had a look on my su profile page but didn’t find anyhthing looking like a numerical id…
…I told you that was a stupid question. Any clue would be highly appreciated, though.
May 7, 2008 2:46 pm |
Its not a stupid question. I didn’t think it was so well hidden until I went looking. The only place I have found the ID is in the RSS Feed of your links.
May 10, 2008 8:23 am |
hey all,
and wqhere do i find the plugin after i activated it?
i can’t find it in my plugins list, or in my manage menu…
May 10, 2008 8:30 am |
If you cannot see the plug-in in your plug-uns list, it sounds like you may have copied the files into the wrong directory.
May 10, 2008 8:30 am |
found it. i now mean to ask: where do i find the plugin on my blog?
May 10, 2008 8:36 am |
You configure it buy going to “manage->Stumble Digest”
May 10, 2008 3:16 pm |
thanks admin, but still, i can’t find the plugin on my blog. i run 2.5. there’s no widget to add to my sidebar. and i assume that’s the way it works right?
best,
sid
May 10, 2008 3:29 pm |
No its not a widget. It creates a post. As your site is visted it checks your Stumble Feed and creates a digest of links from that feed as posts on your blog.
May 10, 2008 3:41 pm |
righto.
so it will create a post on my site, once a day, of everything i stumbled that day (or gave the thumbs up?) instantly?
or do i have to authorise it to have the produced digested links come from my drafts and onto my site as a post?
thanks a bunch for your help!
May 10, 2008 3:48 pm |
Not istantly, it checks your feed on a scheduled basis. I’m not sure about thumbs up, but if they appear if your RSS feed it will do them too. Everytime the feed is checked it will add to the post. The post is set to publish itself at the end of the day rather that publish a post that may be added to.

Hi. Thank you for creating such wonderful scripts. I am trying to use wp_stumbledigest on Wordpress 2.5. On Settings > StumbleDigest. and I hit ‘Get Updates’, I get this error
Warning: syntax error at line 1, column 0 in /home/travel/public_html/articles/travelblog/wp-includes/rss.php on line 380
which would be this
if ( MAGPIE_DEBUG ) {
trigger_error( $errormsg, $lvl);
}
Do you have any idea what is wrong?
Thank you in advance for your help.
May 20, 2008 9:41 am |
The error that is coming up is actually in part of WordPress, the part that deals with decoding the RSS feed that the plug-in pulls back. Since it seems only common to you, there must be something about your feed that it doesn’t like. If you could send my the ID you are using, I can see if I get the same problem.
May 20, 2008 7:10 pm |
to get your stumbleupon ID, log out and pretend you have lost your password. request they email the password to you.They include the stumbleupon ID.

igot this errors and it shows not pictures.. and the date is saved jan1970..?!

and this error at update..
Warning: syntax error at line 1, column 0 in /home/www/ph577/html/stumble/wp-includes/rss.php on line 380
Jun 4, 2008 4:38 pm |
This is the first time I have seen this problem. If you could let me know you stumble id so i can try to recreate the problem, so i can work through it.
Jun 4, 2008 4:44 pm |
@froom: so you are getting error message.
I see that somebody else has had that message two. Function that is causing the error is actually part of WordPress.
I’m thinking that there might be something in your feed that the rss reader is not liking. If you let me know your stumble ID, so i can get to the feed, i’ll see if i can find what it is a avoid the problem.
Jun 4, 2008 7:59 pm |
id is 773453
Jun 4, 2008 8:20 pm |
The ID works fine for me on my test system.
can you give me details about your setup.
One of these should be the cause.
Jun 4, 2008 9:11 pm |
http://www.antonderfrosch.de/stumble/ is the website…
wordpress 2.5.1
Jun 4, 2008 9:13 pm |
no plugins activated
Jun 4, 2008 9:14 pm |
this id 793346 gives the syntax error
Jun 4, 2008 10:02 pm |
So 773453 works but you get the problem with the feed. I’ve just noticed some of the entries have that problem you mentioned.
and 793346 gives the error.
I’ll look into it.
Jun 5, 2008 12:35 am |
cool thanks, i like ur plugin..
Jun 16, 2008 6:27 pm |
It does not show up in manage even though it says it’s activated. Is this some sort of permissions error?
Jun 16, 2008 6:34 pm |
oh it’s actually in settings, not manage
Jun 16, 2008 6:40 pm |
I like this ok but it would be more useful to have one digest post on my blog, once a day of all my “likes”. right now it doesn’t post any of those, it just posts what I’ve “blogged” in stumble which is not very many compared to how many I have given the thumbs up.
I don’t like that they are all going to separate blog posts.
Jun 17, 2008 12:11 pm |
They are going in separate posts?
This should be the case. They should go into 1 post per day of stumbling.
I’ll add the thumbs up idea to a list.
I’ll correct eh mistake in the documentation.

hi, just added this plugin yesterday and at first it seemed to work really well, even crossposted perfectly to my livejournal, like so:
http://david-debeer.com/2008/06/21/stumbles-for-june-21-2008/
but then today, I got this:
http://david-debeer.com/2008/06/24/stumbles-for-june-24-2008/#comment-140
the whole thing seems to suddenly be a mess, except for the last link at the bottom that showed up fine. Can you advise please?
Jun 25, 2008 11:20 am |
@David: It has been noticed that from time to time the stumble feed to have slight problems with certain characters etc. If you could post the link to you feed , so we can look into this and see if we can capture the problem and see how it is affecting the plug-in.
Jun 25, 2008 12:28 pm |
thanks.
I’ve been trying to think what went wrong here, and I’m pretty sure it’s not the plugin clashing with my other plugins. If so, it wouldn’t have worked to begin with. What’s throwing me is that the initial test worked perfectly, and then today it came out mangled.
It also buggered my feed, and is affecting my comment notifications from wordpress.
I didn’t think it was possible, but it does look as if one of the sites/ articles I stumbled yesterday is the culprit. Here’s my stumble feed:
http://www.stumbleupon.com/syndicate.php?stumbler=5297237
I assume you meant the stumble feed and not the rss feed?
Jun 25, 2008 12:37 pm |
@David – The problems experienced before with the stumble feed, was with certain characters in the feed affecting the RSS reader in WordPress. Causing items to bee cut off part way, meaning unclosed tags, which would screw up the page, and like you say the feed. Not sure about the comment notification though.
Thanks for the Stumble Feed, We’ll look through this and see if there is something that can be done to make it more solid.

Just made an interesting discovery today:
my stumble toolbar refused to Stumble. So, I turned off this plugin and it worked. But, I had activated Akismet today. So, I turned that off, turned the plugin back on and…all is well.
Somehow the 3 don’t go together. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
I’m hoping the feed posts more coherently to my blog tomorrow..really great tool, but it’s embarassing getting that mangled code in your blog.
Jun 28, 2008 8:19 pm |
@David- You turned off your stumble toolbar?
is than a firefox plugin?
I haven’t experienced any problems with a conflict with akismet before.
I’m very confused about how this could happen. But I’ll see if I can make any sense out of it when I go through the code.
Jun 28, 2008 9:22 pm |
oh, sorry no, the stumble toolbar is the one I downloaded from Stumbleupon itself. It’s on top of my interent browser, and makes it easier for me to stumble pages I like. I use Internet Explorer.
I first turned off this, the WP_StumbleDigest plugin. Then I turned off the Akismet wordpress plugin, and reactivated Stumbledigest and now it’s happy again.
When I had both plugins, Akismet + StumbleDigest, turned on the pages refused to stumble.
I’ll try them all again next week, it could be just a temporary glitch on my end.

This plugin works exactly as I had hoped, but seems to have some timezone related publishing issues because I’m having some stumbles show up on the wrong day. I’m currently in PDT (-7 GMT offset) and had one stumble I submitted at 10:47 my time show up in tomorrow’s post. I also noticed that the options menu is showing last update and last stumble in GMT so I wonder if it’s related. Unfortunately I didn’t have any stumbles immediately after 5 PM my time so I can’t yet completely verify if the plugin simply isn’t taking my timezone offset into account yet or not, but that’s my guess at this point. I’m still running WordPress 2.5.1.
Jul 18, 2008 9:25 pm |
@Jason Gilman: Just double checked the plugin and it does use the time of the stumble and doesn’t not adjust it to the blogs timezone.
This will be rectified in the next release, which will be when an unwanted message caused by the new revsisioing has been tracked down. Hopefully this should be released within the week, depending on workload.
Jul 19, 2008 5:33 pm |
Thanks for the quick response I appreciate it. One other feature request I’d like to make for the future is easy customization of the output. I tracked down what I thought was the item html template and tried modifying it, but it didn’t seem to make a difference. What I’d like to be able to do is have all my link posts use one definition list <dl>…</dl>, each link as a definition topic <dt><a>…</a></dt>, and each review/comment on the link in a definition description <dd>…</dd>.
Jul 20, 2008 12:06 pm |
I’m getting the 380 error, same as Rachel Goldstein and foom. You didn’t seem to give them a solution, did you not solve the problem?
I’m using WP 2.6 and my stumbler id is 3988638
Jul 20, 2008 12:12 pm |
@Chris: This is still something that is still being looked into.
Jul 23, 2008 12:32 pm |
Hello,
every time i try to save my preferences (ID, …) on the plugins settings page, they get saved, but if i visit the settings page again, they are gone.
Jul 23, 2008 10:23 pm |
@Andi,
Thanks for reporting this. It has been fixed in version 1.1.1
Jul 26, 2008 2:02 am |
Very nice. tanxs for ur work. Is there an easy way to automatically assign a categoriy to new posts? I’m guessing it should be at bottom of base.php, but haven’t got the time yet to thoroughly review the code.
Also needed the ul/li stuff as above, but since anyone has his own ways, why not to set up formatting options through admin screen?
Jul 26, 2008 9:54 am |
@Sakamoro: I’ll try to add categories to the next version. I’ll look into the formatting options too.
Jul 27, 2008 12:33 am |
good to hear. A bit more feedback for u. Right now I’m using the posts generate by the plugin in asides. To be able to have one entry per sidepost I have to manually cut and paste the various entries collected during the day from stumbleupon. As you can immagin it would be really handy to have an option to save each stumble in a different post (and, as mentioned before, categorized).
Jul 28, 2008 9:02 am |
Thank you, now it saves the Settings, but it seems like the plugin is still not working for me. I’ve activated it and set my StumbleUpon-ID up, but it does not generate a post.
Jul 30, 2008 8:02 pm |
@Andi: I take you are getting you update with ‘Get Update’ rather than leaving to do it automatically.
Are you stumbles public, I believe that it it possible to make the private and I guess this would stop access via the rss feed.
If you let me know your ID, I’ll look into it.
Aug 4, 2008 10:11 am |
@DCoda: My ID is 6063001. I tried both ways getting the update. The “last updated” date changes with pressing “Get Update”, but there is no post generated.
Aug 8, 2008 4:03 pm |
Aug. 4 the stumbles were working just fine. Since then, it appears Stumbleupon has removed the numeric id’s in the stumble feeds. I now have options for:
blog
comments
favourites
reviews
in none of those are the numeric id given anymore. My stumble ID is saved to my stumble plugin, but it’s not showing up on my wordpress blog anymore (my stubmles that is).
can anyone else verify this?
Aug 8, 2008 4:07 pm |
I’m just starting on the next version. I’ll look into how to keep it working.
