[...] Yuri & Viki Panshin developed it further and made some improvements to it. I recomend using this one, because it adds more functionality to picasa2wordpress. [...]

Can you step by step explain what you do for upload photos?

I checked link that Picasa use for show selected photos and found that it isn’t going to your server.
http://localhost:51816/0bf3edc80ff37460a2de006f14d138e4/thumb/1eaa1837cdce3430.jpg
So I don’t understand when you receive error “No photos selected”.

Ok i might have figured out whats wrong with all the people complaining it doesnt work.
When i click the button everything seems fine and the picasa minibrowser closes.
Then i find the folowing line in apache2 error.log:

[Tue Sep 29 16:28:50 2009] [error] [client ip-adress] File does not exist: /var/www/blog/images, referer: http://domain.com/blog/wp-admin/picasa.php

Now as you see its looking in the blog directory for the blog/images/ folder and cant find it.
Thats because the images folder is located in blog/wp-admin/images.
I think this is because i installed wprdpress in a subfolder of the domain like: http://doamin.com/subfolder and not in a subdomain.
A simple fix would be to copie all the images into the blog folder but thats not the best way to go ..
hope this helps

I don’t know what happening with your computers.
But you can try sample from picasa button site: http://code.google.com/apis/picasa/docs/web_uploader.html#php_sample
Let see if it will work on your computers.

So i tryed it From my Desktop Laptop .. 3 different Operating systems.
Maybe my Router is the cause. Or my Centos 5.3 Server is misconfigured. But i checked httpd log, Iptables events and dmesg. But still no Pictures recieved.

I tried to reproduce the bug and was not success. I use it on Leopard Picasa 3.0.6 and on Windows 3.1.0. Till now, I found just one bug, the plugin cann’t upload more then 9-10 photos in one bulk. I didn’t find why it is happening yet.

Hey There,
i have tryed to get the button to work on my Leopard + WordPress combination, but so far no luck. I have unpacked the stuff into my WordPress wp-admin directory and installed the Button. but if i press the Publish to WordPress button a window opens, i put in my passwort, but it says: 『Sorry, no pictures were recieved.』 So i cant upload any Pictures to my Blog
The mac version of picasa is 3.06 Beta.
I Went on and tryed it on Vista with picasa 3.1.0 But i had the exact same problem.

Very strange to me.
Can you help me out?

Greetings
Valentin
