Today, I wanted to write an update about my ongoing adventure in developing a WordPress plugin I'm calling wp-dapp. The aim of this plugin is to let users update and publish content straight to the Hive blockchain from their WordPress sites. As a newbie coder, I've had my fair share of ups and downs, and I wanted to share my journey with you and ask for your help.
Over the past few weeks, I've been working hard on the plugin, with over 20 hours into it just last week and sadly not really much to show for it. That said, this experience has been an interesting learning curve, and I've gained a lot of knowledge about WordPress plugin development, Git & GitHub, brushing up on PHP, .js and the Hive blockchain and more, all of which I look forward to continue learning about.
That said, I've hit a few snags along the way. One big issue I've faced is not being able to publish content to the Hive blockchain using the plugin. I've been keeping my progress up to date on GitHub, but I can't seem to crack the problem. My current focus is on integrating the Hive Keychain, which I suspect might be where my failure and lack of understanding lies. As a coding rookie, I know I might be missing some crucial steps or best practices.
So tonight, I figured it's time to switch things up and ask you all for some help and advice. I'm sure that with your support, we can tackle these challenges together and create an awesome plugin for the Hive and WordPress communities.
If you're experienced with WordPress plugin development or the Hive blockchain or Hive KeyChain in particular, or are just a fellow developer who wants to help out, I'd love to hear from you! Share your thoughts, tips, or advice in the comments below. Every bit of help is appreciated.
You are also invited to join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/Yp3aXUbtQg? It's a great place to chat and collaborate "behind the scene".
To wrap up, I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who's shown an interest in the wp-dapp project. Your support means the world to me, and I'm stoked to see where this adventure takes us. With your help, I'm sure we can make the wp-dapp plugin a useful tool for WordPress users looking to publish on the Hive blockchain which we can continuously refine and expand on.
Thanks for reading this update, and I hope to catch you on the Discord server soon!
This is my first time hearing about it and I will join the discord group
Thanks for sharing
Awesome. My plan is working! See you there.
Why don't you seek help from chatgpt? :P
Good question.
I'm being a bit hard headed about that right now. I want to figure things out myself and get a solid foundation because I want to make this into a long-term/ permanent project which can be expanded upon and such indefinitely. I have tons of ideas for features and use cases.
I follow AI pretty closely, but I haven't messed with it yet. Hopefully this is a good decision long term. I'm not at all against using AI once I get a better understanding of what I'm doing, but right now I think could work against me long term.
I don't think there is anything wrong in trying it :)
I guess it's worth trying.
Have you tried AIPRM ChatGPT browser extension?
I have not heard of that.
I see
i gave myself some coding advices for chatgpt and its work super good, but, always have a but, lot of times the code is incomplete and making him continue is kind hard. maybe I need try better prompts. but it's a great advantage have it as an assistant.
Sadly I cannot help :/ only motivate to keep up the great work :)!
That does help! Thank you.
Glad to hear that! :D :]
Unfortunately I have no experience on developing dApps and Wordpress plugins but if I may bring you coffee let me know if I can be of help :D
@diggndeeper.com that's a great project. happy to see you looking for improve your coding skills.
I'm a software engineer but stop programing few years ago to manage. but Wordpress and webdev is my hobby.
I had the same idea few months ago and was kind studying how to include hivesigner and hivekeychain to a Wordpress site.
i found some interesting thinks that will share with you to look for inspiration.
back to my idea, is very similar from yours, the main idea was creating a WP plugin with named something like Polen or BeeWork that will convert a WP installation to a Hive Front End. using WP features for pages and posts, and working with WP database and/or Hive BC.
I could manage to include hivesigner and api.hive, but for real, with lot of others things to do its not my priority right now.
so, here some things that I found and maybe can help you out:
looks like http://exxp.io/ is down, but they created a plugin to post over hive blockchain... i could manage changing the API URL to other node and connected. But could not post on hive. But I think was due low RC in my test account.
Maybe this plugin can help you out to manage how to post to WP and Hive.
also, check this post. can be helpful. just found it before reaching out you and save for further reading.

Hi, I'm not knowledgeable enough to be of any help, but have you tried the various Hive discord servers? Maybe Ecency and Peakd?
Hi, off topic, but I noted you are voting for a non-active witness which is kind of a waste of a vote. I am very active, supporting and curating several communities and would appreciate getting your vote. Thanks!
Thank you for that. Which witness is inactive?

Got it. Ty. I'll remedy that next time I'm on my desktop. I appreciate that.
I often let that stuff go way too long without doing my due diligence.
thanks in advance!
It's very impressive, lovely and I would like to be part of it
