Updates incoming!

We are adding two features to WordPress Hype Generator.

1) The option to select all name formats with a single click. (That's a small one.)
2) The option to space all comments/replies over multiple pages (by entering multiple page IDs, separated by commas) OR the option to space all comments/replies over ALL pages (by ticking a checkbox).

Update #2 will allow you to populate an entire site with comments and replies in seconds. It's still pretty fast right now, but it'll be even faster.

I only allow signed in users to post on my site, would I have to turn that off for this plugin to work? Or does it bypass that setting? I can't really turn that off so I'm hoping this can bypass it.

Also, let's say I have already created fake accounts on my site, would I be able to use those accounts instead? I still have a spreadsheet of all the accounts I created(1000 in total), does that factor in somehow?

This looks like a game changing plugin for me. Just need to see if it can work on my sites.

Hey Mason,

Excellent questions.

1) The plugin bypasses user registration. It can even be used when comments are closed. So you'll be fine.

2) It can't use the accounts themselves, but it can use the data from the spreadsheet that you have.

So the comments wouldn't show up under the user's page (if you have those turned on for some reason), but you could input the same data as you have for the accounts, including names, IPs, and emails. (If your "users" have usernames like xxBRKing420 or something instead of their real names, that still works - just put those usernames into the name file upload box.)

^ Please let me know if any of that was unclear either by PMing me or just posting here again. Happy to help - from what you described, I think the plugin will work for what you need.

Thanks!

^Thanks.

Is there a way to just host everything myself so the scheduler is only dependent on my own server?

Unfortunately we hard-coded the scheduler to run on our servers. It's not a built in function of WordPress.

I'll be completely transparent here: it's for security purposes. WP plugins aren't hard to crack. I mean, we can obfuscate the code, but that's child's play to anyone with rudimentary knowledge. (If the scheduler runs on our server, then it could hypothetically be cracked, but one of the main features wouldn't work.)

Rest assured that we only store the comment ID and timestamp. We don't even store the comment text. This is a set and forget project for us... everything has been put together to run on autopilot. There's no reason why we'd even go into the server that's storing the comment ID and timestamp.

Thanks! Hope that answered your question. If you have any more, just let me know.

If you want to remove comment dates entirely, you can do so easily right from your WP dashboard. Just go Apperance -> Editor, open the comments.php file, the the_date, and remove that line of code. Your comments will no longer have dates attached to them.

(One customer had that question, so I figured I'd post it here!)

I saw someone mentioned a hype generator somewhere. Turns out it's a comment tool which is unique. On to the question on running it off-hand, can i know why is a [separate] server needed? If it's just licensing verification, i'm cool with that. It's just that you know, not very convincing that it needs to continually depend on you server to run simple comments (unless there's way more going on that wp comment needs?).

Hey there,

Good question. It does in fact need to communicate with the server each and every time a scheduled comment is posted - there is no WordPress functionality to schedule comments. That's why a plugin like this has never existed - it's not as simple as just putting some PHP code together.

We keep this scheduler running on our server for 3 reasons:

1) As you mentioned, licensing.

2) Simplicity - if we were to give clients the option to run it on their own servers, there would be a slew of things that would need to be configured before the plugin could work. Not everyone has the technical knowledge to set these things up, and, to be honest, it would take us a lot of time to guide people through the process. If we can host it on our server, then we know that it'll never break and it'll be up 24/7. And you can run it right out of the box without having to mess with any settings.

(If someone put the scheduling code on their own unreliable shared hosting, the plugin wouldn't work. Plain and simple. By hosting it ourselves, even people on $1/month hosting can use it.)

3) To be completely transparent: security. We spent a lot of time and money creating this, and WP plugins are notoriously easy to crack. Even if someone were to crack this one, the scheduler wouldn't work, because we have that code hidden from the public.

BTW, thank you for addressing that point... I will add in a part to the sales page that WordPress does NOT have the scheduling comments functionality included. It's unique to the plugin.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help!

Bought it. I have a problem. I have the comments on my site set to show the newest first, but the comments come in with the oldest showing first. Is there a way to fix this?

Hey man,

Thanks for your purchase. I think this is an easy fix. Take a look at this image - http://i.imgur.com/KeMi2Uk.jpg

The comment that will receive the oldest timestamp is the first one in the list. So if you typed them out and you want the first comment to be the newest, just go somewhere like here - http://textmechanic.com/Sort-Text-Lines.html - and click the "Reverse" sort function.

If this isn't what you meant, feel free to post here again or just PM me - I monitor both.

Thanks!

It's more of a sort thing. When someone types comments on my site, their comment shows at the top, because it's the newest. When I used the "post comments in the past" section, the comments came in reverse order, from oldest to newest.

No prob - I'm PMing you one of the developer's Skype and email right now. He'll be able to get you sorted out quickly.

Got it all worked out. The problem was on my end. The plugin works fine. Thanks for the great support.

Glad we could sort you out - the developer who I sent you to is, simply put, the man.

(I'm sort of like the rapid-response EMS worker who knows the basic stuff and can solve most problems, and he's the surgeon in the ER who guarantees that you get fixed up within a couple of minutes.)

Hey man,

You should have received an email with the newest version - I will PM you the details now. (Sorry about that. It went out to the PayPal email that paid for it, so that might be the reason why.)

As far as what's different... quite a bit. You now have the option to match up comments to data, and you can also control the order of comments. Aside from that, we added the scheduler and tracker, both of which were not available previously. For $5 more (v1 was $29) it's quite the steal. v1 was functional, but this one is perfect.

Hi,

Where to download the newest version?

Thanks.

 

[Mason]

How do you stop the scheduled comments once the ball has started rolling?

 

[Total Noob]

Hi,

Where to download the newest version?

Thanks.

Hey man, please PM me the PayPal email you purchased with last time. I'll double check that you're a customer and send you the new version + lifetime, unlimited license. The email should have gone to the PayPal email that you used to purchase, so please check that. (If it's not there, just PM me. )

How do you stop the scheduled comments once the ball has started rolling?

Hey Mason, you can just delete the unpublished comments in the comment section of your WP dashboard. That'll stop the process in its tracks.

Thanks!

Jared
