How To ADD a PDF as an IMAGE to a Blog Post in WordPress September 23, 2019at 18:48 pm By: James Byrne After Dark Grafx Adding a PDF as an IMAGE to a Blog Post as a Featured Image in WordPress Step 1: If you have Photoshop or other image editing software, you should open the PDF by going to File in the menu navigation then OPEN. If you do not have software there are several free services available. Photopea.com is an excellent, FREE, online photo editor that closely emulates Photoshop which we will use below. Step 2: In Photopea.com in the top navigation go to FILE –> OPEN and then find the PDF that you would like to open. It will open and probably complain about fonts that you do not have. It will auto substitute fonts for you so that you can view the pdf. Step 3: Go to the top navigation and select IMAGE –> IMAGE SIZE and change if it is 1000px or less leave it and hit cancel. If it is over 1000px, change the width to 1000px and hit ok. I do this so that the image is not huge for viewers. Step 4: Select FILE –> EXPORT AS and select –> JPG. It will now download to your computer. Step 5: Go to your WordPress Post in the admin and select POSTS. Click on the post that you want to add the image too. On the bottom right hand side of the post it says FEATURED IMAGE. Select SET FEATURED IMAGE Step 6: Select UPLOAD and find the new downloaded image on your computer and upload it. It is good practice to add ALT text to the image once it uploads for SEO purposes. Select INSERT OR SET AS FEATURED IMAGE. Step 7: Select UPDATE on your post and you are finished. Your PDF has now been turned into an image and uploaded as the featured image on your WordPress Post.
Your Facebook account doesn’t have admin access to the chosen page – What Do You Do? September 12, 2019at 17:04 pm By: James Byrne After Dark Grafx Have any of the following happened to you? – Shopify sends you a message that your Facebook Sales Channel has been disconnected? – You try to connect or reconnect your Facebook Sales Channel within Shopify and receive the following message even though you are an Admin on the Facebook Page and get the following message? Your Facebook account doesn’t have admin access to the chosen page I spoke with a Shopify Rep on chat and they said on 9/11/2019: “Our developers just put out an update, it appears this is the result of an issue on our end. They are investigating now, I will follow up on this thread as soon as they have an update.” Before contacting support to receive the above message, I scoured the web and community and tried all of the suggestions before I finally did the following below steps which solved the “Shopify Facebook Sales Channel Won’t Connect” or “Reconnect”. To SOLVE this problem, I went through all of the steps below to connect the shop correctly via a data feed. a) make sure you have a personal facebook page b) make sure that this facebook personal user is the ADMIN for the Facebook Page that you are trying to connect (see settings –> page roles) on the actual page ie: https://www.facebook.com/YOUR-PAGE-NAME-SHOULD-BE-HERE c) make sure that this is a BUSINESS PAGE and controlled by Facebook Business Manger d) on the business manager page business.facebook.com click on the PAGES on the left ie: https://business.facebook.com/settings/pages/YOUR-REALLYLONGIDSTRINGHERE e) make sure that your PAGE is the PRIMARY BUSINESS PAGE. Click on the page on the right and then you will see PEOPLE to the right of that. Click on the ARROW to the far right of your name and make sure that MANAGE JOBS and VIEW EARNINGS INSIGHTS is turned OFF and that MANAGE PAGE is ON (this means you will have admin privs here too)–> select SAVE f) make sure that the template for your SHOP is using the SHOPPING TEMPLATE. ie: go tohttps://www.facebook.com/YOUR-PAGE-NAME-SHOULD-BE-HERE –> click on SETTINGS top right —> on left click on TEMPLATES AND TABS –> on right it will say TEMPLATES (current template) – if it doesn’t say SHOPPING (select EDIT then select the SHOPPING template and SAVE) g) click on PAGE ROLES on the left and just double check that you are the admin of the page. In some cases, the page will be owned by the BUSINESS MANAGER account and you, as a user will be the admin on the page. h) ADD FACEBOOK PIXEL: go to business.facebook.com and click on top left menu EVENTS MANAGER –> click on GET STARTED under Facebook Pixel on the right. Once completed, COPY the facebook pixel # and go back or LOGIN to SHOPIFY –> SETTINGS –> GENERAL and scroll down to facebook pixel and paste your pixel and SAVE i) NEXT: You are going to do 2 things. 1) add Facebook Marketing and 2) add an app called FLEXIFY https://apps.shopify.com/facebook-product-catalog j) on left side of Shopify Click on MARKETING –> Select Setup Facebook Marketing and follow the steps to connect the account and page (if you need help message me) k) one Facebook Marketing is connected, click on APPS on the left side then click on VISIT SHOPIFY APP STORE top right l) type in FLEXIFY and click ADD APP j) once the app is installed click on FLEXIFY app and then copy the URL for the FEED ending in …./facebook.rss k) go BACK to business.facebook.com and click on COMMERCE ACCOUNTS —> click on the arrow to the right of your name on the last column and make sure you have ADMIN privs. l) on left click on DATA SOURCES –> CATALOGS and click on the CATALOG that should now be there then top right click on OPEN IN CATALOG MANAGER m) on the left side of the CATALOG MANAGER page, click on PRODUCT DATA SOURCES —> then on top right of this page select ADD PRODUCTS and select the Use Data Feeds – select NEXT then enter the facebook.rss url you copied earlier and save. It gives you the option to do the feed hourly, daily or monthly, etc. I usually select DAILY but you may select hourly depending on how busy your store is. SAVE It will then take a little while, sometimes 24 hours for the feed to start picking up the products. If successful, it will show all your products on the SHOP page of facebook. I tried other options before figuring all of this out. I removed the sales channel app for facebook and removed the shopify connector from the facebook account and waited 30 mins, cleared cache, tried different browsers and devices and even tried the mobile app. All failed. This worked for me. It is a little but of a pain but you don’t have to rely on Shopify’s Facebook Channel in order to connect the page. I hope they fix this soon as this is way too many steps just to get this working correctly. Hope this helps someone. Please contact us at (888) 578-8300 or 619-702-7377 for help with this if needed.
