Hey Guys
Not sure if you can help or not but I just downloaded the Chocolate WP theme from Themeforest that Tim recommended for what I wanted to achieve. I was trying to use Status plugin in with it but not very compatible unfortunately. However, they have included the "tumblog" plugin feature which does about the same as I wanted.
However, I can't figure out how to add the Tumblog poster onto the site itself (its only showing in dashboard) Does anyone know if and how it is possibe I add the "Tumblog" widget to the actual homepage of the site for people to post there without having to visit dashboard?
My other question regarding this is how can I change the "tumblog" slug in my post type URL to something that I want to further brand my site? currently it says tumblog/images tumblog/articles etc. Thanks for the help! you guys are always awesome

Greetings ThinkTaiwan,

Have you tried the Status Plugin since it's recent update (yesterday)?
Once activated, go to Posts->Tumblog Options to change your settings.
Add the simple tags to your theme and post some tumblogs!
Please let us know if this does not resolve your problem by reopening this ticket below marking it as not resolved. Also please indicate if there are any new symptoms or errors :-)

Hi
Thanks Joe but unfortunately, this doesn't help. I am not using the Tumblog plugin but rather the Chocolate WP theme that already includes Tumblog as the way to post stuff. There is no option to post from the actual site itself like Status.
That is why I am wondering if there is a way to hack the code to allow the Tumblog posting directly from the site without having to see dashboard. Status plugin doesnt work even with the new updates because my theme is weird with the CSS. The posts cover up the status bar so you can click on the options of status bar. i am sure there is something i could do to edit the CSS but this is not my specialty Thanks.

Hey Mike.

I've not personally used the theme, I was simply pointing you to themes along the lines of your request in the other thread.
In the admin of our plugin "Status" you will find:
/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wdqs
Admin --> Settings --> Status
You can choose to use a function, which you can place anywhere in your theme code. This is for manual placement and should hopefully overcome the issue with this theme:
Advanced: if you select this option, you will have to use wdqs_quick_status() function in your theme files to place Status wherever you want.
Example usage: if (function_exists("wdqs_quick_status")) wdqs_quick_status();
Without seeing and using the theme it would be hard to know for sure how they deal with custom settings.

Hey guys
Would love it if you could take a look at the screenshot attached to see if you can figure out if this is something easy to change or not to get the posts to show up below the Status plugin instead of covering it. thanks!

I found the installation instructions for Tumblog for your review in which the following two steps may apply to get this working for you:
