    What It Does

    It handles the basics for uploading and showing off Construct 3 games on WordPress:

    • Uploads game ZIPs through the admin.
    • Lets you add descriptions with some formatting (bold, links, etc.).
    • Options for “Landscape” (960x540), “Portrait” (540x960), or custom sizes.
    • Makes a page for each game (like yoursite.com/game-title).
    • Has a fullscreen button.
    • Basic management—edit or delete games from a list.

    How to Use It

    Download the ZIP here: https://github.com/LanciferStudios/Construct3-Game-Uploader/releases/download/v1.0.0-beta.1/construct3-game-uploader.zip

    • Install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin in WordPress.
    • Activate, then go to “Construct3 Games” to add your stuff.
    • If you try it, let me know what you think—bugs or whatever.
    • Check out my GitHub here: [GitHub]

    Notes

    Needs a ZIP with an index.html (standard Construct 3 HTML5 export).

    Works with PHP 7.4+ and the ZIP extension (most hosts should be good).

    Still in beta, so let me know any suggestions you think would be cool.

    I created this WordPress plugin and have been using it for a several months to manage my games, and I thought I’d toss it out there for anyone else who might find it useful. It’s nothing fancy...just a simple way to get your games online, without the hassle of manually creating directories and iframes, etc.

    It’s free—take it or leave it. (Check out the screenshots above)

    Hope this comes in handy for someone.

    Cheers

  • I think your plugin will be very useful for a lot of people.

    It looks very professional. Good luck with sales. :)

  • This usually happens if the object is on a global layer that is locked. However, I don't see that in your screenshot. Right-click the object in the Project box and select "Find all references..." to find where it is. Hope that helps.

  • Rude? No, just bluntly stating facts. What's rude is you coming into this thread and hijacking it. All you had to do was post the link to your other thread and be done with it. But you decided to turn it into your own personal sales page for your own gain. Btw, continually downvoting me just shows pettiness. Lol!

  • Nothing in my previous post was criticizing your method. I'm just stating facts to let others decide before clicking on your link. Not sure why you're trying to explain to me about needing a license for monetization. Do you currently offer said license? No, you don't. Some people might not want to waste their time with it if they can't currently use it for commercial purposes.

  • 3Wgaming if you are interested in an alternative, I've released SmartUI for Free. Except for the translation plugin which is not in my scope, but the rest is covered.

    It's fully compatible with the SDK v2.

    Just an FYI for anyone that overlooks the fine-print...

    It's a NON-COMMERCIAL beta, and currently only exports to html5. Also, the plugin's framework is served from a CDN and needs a CONSTANT internet connection to function.

  • Yes. You just need to add some meta tags into the header of your index.html. 

    <meta property="og:image" content="your_image_url">
<meta property="og:title" content="your_link_title">

    Then, place the image that you want in the main folder and link to it in the meta tags. Be sure to edit the tag contents to get the correct title and description like below.

  • The gems are preloaded in a layout called ObjectBank. There, you will see the 8-direction behavior's settings.

  • Well, if you're a "new" user of a product that they stopped selling 4 years ago I would suggest that you do your research and read the manual. Specifically, this entry about C2 addons...

  • In your 8 Direction behavior settings, Set angle to "No".

  • Go to construct.net/en/profile/licenses and click on "View/Edit subscription".

    Scroll to the bottom of the page and you'll see "Cancel Your Subscription".

  • What was the rest of the "failure" message? They usually tell you what was specifically wrong. My guess is that there are some game functions not working with the controller.

  • It's possible. But, it takes a couple of clicks.

    Right-click the tab that you want to separate and select Undock.

    Then, right-click on that window's title bar and select Open to popup window.

  • In the Project window, right-click the main game folder. It's in Tools > View project statistics.

  • What kind of "io" game are you wanting to make? The term "io" is a little vague. It could means lots of things, such as clicker/idle games, or hyper-casual games that aren't too complex. The links Klopity gave you are for learning the basics. You're really going to need to learn the basics if you want to make ANY type of game, much less an "io" game.
