WordPress Steem - Update and Statistics as of October 2017
WordPress Steem
Publish Your WordPress Posts on Steem Blockchain!
Overview
It's been over 4 months since I released the plugin and I'm happy with how it turns out to be.
Before I have the idea of developing the plugin, I've first encountered Steem last May of 2017 when I was checking different cryptocurrencies on a website. I was kind of researching for coins to invest in and I'm curios with different coins with different kinds of solutions tackling different real-world problems. After a few weeks, I was digging some Steem post and found out that there was a request for creating a plugin that will integrate with WordPress and Steem blockchain. Though there were numerous users who have similar initiative to develop it but wasn't able to. So I began developing it early June of 2017 and announcing that I'm on the road of releasing a working product.
I'm happy that there were users who positively acknowledges the usefulness of the plugin. :)
Versions
There have been 6 updates since I released the plugin last July of 2017. The plugin has greatly improved because of the community's feedback about it. I'm just happy that the people that used it find it useful. (I bet they've increased their productivity with the use of this plugin seamlessly integrating their existing WordPress website and to Steem blockchain!) :)
Downloads Statistics
I'm just astonished with how many users have been using the plugin. It just gives me the inspiration to keep on developing and improving the plugin. :D

Support Resolved Statistics
I'm actively attending to user's concerns and queries on the WordPress plugin support forum. I've also decided that if you have any concerns with the plugin. Please feel free to create a Steem post and with a tag "wordpress-steem" that way you don't have to go to the WordPress plugin support forum after all. :)

Gratitude
I'm really thankful from the Steem community for contributing on the plugin's development in terms of their feedback, testing the plugin, reporting bugs, voting the Steem post announcements, and who morally supported me. I really appreciated those. :)
Thanks for your work on this plugin. I have been unsuccessful in getting it to work, wondering if others are having similar issues? I get the 300 seconds timeout error. Tripled checked my private key and other settings.
Same thing happened to me.But I couldn't get it solved yet!
Was this resolved?
Please be reminded that there is a 5 minute cooldown when creating a Steem post in the Steem blockchain. 300 seconds left to do another post action.
All time
Excellent work. Thank you! How difficult is it to make the same plug-in for Golos? This is the Russian fork for Steem (https://golos.io).
Hi @recrypto, do you still support the plugin?
I just added it to my site. Thank you!
This seems to be a short term solution for wordpress users to bring their content from wordpress over to steemit. I think once steemit announces SMT's this will change the game for wordpress users. Instead I believe wordpress users will just create their very own Crypto and use SMT's so users can fully engage on their website.
WordPress doesn't need to create their own crypto, they could just use SMT's or one of the other Tip users or something.
I don't know if this works for other people but It does not work for me anytime. It always displays "wait 300 seconds" error but it does not countdown or do anything.
I am confused dot com now!
Is WordPress Steem working or not?
Some people have reported issues and no-one reported issues fixed.
So what is it?
The plugin has totally stopped working (i.e. Posting to Steemit) on both my sites. I am using the new version. Nothing happens when I post in Wordpress. However in the URL I see a "steem_cooldown_error"
I'm getting the cooldown error also
Same here - nothing shows up on Steemit.
Getting the same error.
Just installed the plugin in my WP blog.
Hi recrypto, great work, I am developing a website myself and spend a couple of days fighting with QuillJs to find out you are miles ahead of the game.
Will it be possible to make use of the plugin on my website?
