2 Cents on MMOs

What would be really cool is if Word Press supported Unity3d as an embedded media type. If I had even a clue how to add imbeded media types into wordpress, I think I couldhack together support for Unity. But alas that is way too much work to contemplate on a friday.

Well, here is one way to do it. The Devs at Unity3D created a word press plugin.

Unfortunately you can’t just download the plugin and installit straight away. You have to unpack the file you get from Here, then unzip that file locally, then re zip the WP_UnityObject directory.

Once you have done that, you need to upload and install the plugin into your wordpress siet. That’s fairly easy.

Enter WordPress site admin, like you normally would to add a new post.  Open the “Appearance” options if not already open, then click on the “Plugins” link

Click the “Add New” link that just appeared

now click on the “Upload” link that is at the top of the “Install Plugins” page that just loaded.

A new page is loaded, on that page will be a “Choose File” button. Click it

A windows file browser window will come up, go forth and find the zip file you created from above, click OK.

Then back at the “Install Plugin” click Install Now

You _should_ see a new page come up with happy messages about the plugin being installed.

Then click the “activate plugin” link

And there you are.

NOTE: if things get hozed up. you’ll need to go into the WordPress directory and delete the plugin directory and files, and start over.

For me, I’m hosting at GoDaddy. You log into to the hosting manager site. Got to file manager, browse around to where you installed word press, find the directory titled “wp_content” It will have the “plugins” directory in it.  If installing the plugin fails, you’ll need to go into the plugins directory and delete the “WP_Unityobject” directory, and everyting in it.

That is the Theory anyway. In part 2 we find out that it does not work…
