Brenda Carr (ID: 00000069565347fc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/16/2019 Wanted to like it. Put there is no longer an Express Curate Wordpress plugin to link to your wordpress account

Serenity Enderson (ID: 0000004b40f220f0) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/13/2019 Well, the idea is sound - but sadly the WP plugin part of the equation won't work without the EREG PHP extension, which was deprecated in PHP 5.3 and totally removed in PHP 7.0. There has been an alternative (PCRE and preg_match) for a few years now, but as this extension hasn't been updated for just as long I suspect it might now be abandonware... It's a real pity as I was hoping to use it in place of the now missing Press This WP functionality! :(
