## Description

Upload, embed, and link to your files hosted on Live Editor directly in your WordPress
site.

 * **HTML5 video and audio media encoding built in.** Your uploaded files are automatically
   encoded into the formats required for playback on all computers and mobile devices.
 * **Reliable cloud hosting.** All uploaded files are stored on and served from 
   Amazon S3.
 * **Better organization and retrieval.** Organize your files into collections. 
   Add basic metadata. Use our powerful built-in search engine to find what you’re
   looking for.
 * **Automatically track your usage of files** when you add them to a post or page
   in WordPress. Then you’ll know the full impact of uploading a new version or 
   deleting the file later.
 * **Track sources and derivatives** for each file.
 * **Link up YouTube and Vimeo videos** to their source video files for easier retrieval
   and editing later.
 * **Seamless integration with WordPress.** We’ve taken great care to build this
   WordPress plugin with the same visual style and functionality that you’d expect
   from WordPress. You’ll forget that you’re using an external service while you’re
   authoring your content.

**Note:** This plugin requires paid subscription to the [Live Editor File Manager](http://www.liveeditorcms.com/file-manager?utm_source=WordPress%2BPlugin%2BDirectory&utm_medium=readme&utm_content=v0.5.7&utm_campaign=WordPress%2BPlugin)
service.

## Installation

First, install the Live Editor File Manager WordPress plugin:

 1. Install the Live Editor plugin either via the WordPress.org plugin directory or
    by uploading the files to your server.
 2. Activate the plugin in your WordPress dashboard.

#### Configuration

After installing the plugin, you need to do 4 more configurations, listed in the
sections that follow.

**1. Live Editor account**

If you haven’t already, you can sign up for an account at LiveEditorCMS.com.

**2. Account URL**

Each Live Editor account has an account URL that looks something like this:
 https://**
example**.liveeditorcms.com/

It’s the URL that you use to sign in to your Live Editor account. You’ll need to
enter that into your WordPress settings.

Browse to your Live Editor File Manager settings in WordPress at Settings > File
Manager. Then enter the subdomain for your Live Editor account into the Account 
Subdomain field.

**3. Account API key**

Each Live Editor account has an API key. If you are an account administrator for
your Live Editor account, you can log in to Live Editor and generate a new API key
from the Settings section.

 1. Copy the API key from Live Editor.
 2. Browse to your File Manager settings in WordPress at Settings > File Manager.
 3. Paste the API key into the Account API Key field.

If you already have entered an API key, double-check that it matches the API key
listed in your Live Editor account.

If you do not have access to your Live Editor and/or WordPress account settings,
be sure to contact your account administrator for assistance.

**4. User API key**

Each user in Live Editor has an API key. Accordingly, each user in WordPress should
have their own Live Editor user API key, and they will need to enter it into their
WordPress profile settings.

You can log in to Live Editor and generate your own API key in your user profile
section.

 1. In the navigation bar, click your name and go to API Key.
 2. Copy the API key.
 3. Browse to your WordPress user profile settings by hovering over your name and clicking
    Edit My Profile.
 4. Paste your user API key into the User API Key field at the bottom of the screen.

## FAQ

  What are the system requirements?

We’ve designed and tested the Live Editor WordPress plugin for use with WordPress
version 3.5 or newer.

PHP 5+ with the [cURL extension](http://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php)
is required.

For browser support, see our [system requirements](http://www.liveeditorcms.com/help/system-requirements?utm_source=WordPress%2BPlugin%2BDirectory&utm_medium=readme&utm_content=v0.5.7&utm_campaign=WordPress%2BPlugin).

You also need an active Live Editor account.

  Can I use the Live Editor WordPress Plugin without a Live Editor account?

No. You must have an active Live Editor account to use this WordPress plugin.

  Why should I trust Live Editor with my assets’ URLs on my website?

Here are the key reasons:

 * You can export your data and files at any time. We believe that you should own
   and control your data. The export file generated by Live Editor contains a folder
   structure that is easy to deploy on your own web server if you ever wish to self-
   host your files.
 * If you use a custom domain or subdomain with Live Editor, then you have full 
   control over your asset URLs too. With this in place, you can export your files
   and host them on your own web server if you wish, same URLs intact.
 * Live Editor is hosted on durable, secure, and reliable servers provided by Amazon
   Web Services. Specifically, all files uploaded to Live Editor are stored on Amazon
   Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

  How stable is the Live Editor service?

We are still in beta, but so far we have had few issues with uptime. We are still
collecting data about the reliability of Live Editor and will share them as soon
as we can.

Live Editor is hosted on durable, secure, and reliable servers provided by Amazon
Web Services. Specifically, all files uploaded to Live Editor are stored on Amazon
Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

  Will the Live Editor product still be around tomorrow?

Here are the facts that we can share with you honestly:

 * You can export all of your data and files at any time that you wish. We believe
   that you should own and have full control over all of your data. You’re not needlessly
   locked in to our platform.
 * We’re a small company trying to make a big difference for your content management
   needs.
 * We are bootstrapping our company without accepting any outside investments, and
   we’ve aimed to stay debt-free from day one.
 * We’re not interested in selling out to larger technology companies. We’ve seen
   acquired companies burn their customers in the past.
 * We will provide you with 6-months’ notice if Live Editor’s services would need
   to end for whatever reason. We’d hope for the same in return from our own service
   providers!

We’re honored to be asked about Live Editor’s longevity because we know that it 
means that you care.
