Add From Server vs Published By

This plugin offers limited support. Please do not expect new features or too many bugfixes. Features may be removed at any time. Add From Server is designed to help ease the pain of bad web hosts, allowing you to upload files via FTP or SSH and later import them into WordPress. This plugin is NOT designed to.. * Be used as a replacement for the file uploader * Be used for migration of websites * Re-import your files after moving webhosting * Batch import media This plugins IS designed to.. * Import files which are larger than your hosting allows to be uploaded. * Import files which are too large for your internet connections upload speed. WordPress does a better job of file uploads than this plugin, so please consider your needs before you use it.

This plugin records which user actually published a post, which in a multi-author environment may not always be the original post author. This helps to maintain accountability for who was ultimately responsible for a post appearing live on a site. The admin listing of posts is amended with a new “Published By” column that shows the name of the person who published the post (for those posts that have actually been published). A dropdown above admin post listings allows for the listing to be filtered by a particular publishing user (but only includes posts with a known publishing user). For posts that were published prior to the use of this plugin (and thus the plugin could not directly record who published those posts), the plugin makes a best guess attempt to ascertain who published the post. After failing to find the publisher of the post as recorded by the plugin, it checks for who last edited the post, then who is responsible for the latest revision of the post, and finally failing those, it assumes it was the post author. In cases where it had to go through this process, the name of the person it deduced as the likely publisher appears italicized and with a question mark at the end. If you’d rather the plugin not make an attempt to guess the publisher, you can disable the checks by including this snippet in your theme’s functions.php (or, ideally, a site-specific mu-plugin): Links: Plugin Homepage | Plugin Directory Page | GitHub | Author Homepage
