The search is on for adding editable documents. Like, a spreadsheet you can update.
First, using the “Add Google File” button above the TinyMCE editor.
- A window came up and said “Loading”, presumably loading my Google docs or drive directory. After a long wait, I gave up.
- Trying again…after fixing up the credentials*
- The ‘getting started.pdf’ file was the only one that was listed in the Add Google File window; perhaps it was the only ‘Public’ document in my drive. But this time I logged in as djcrowley.mclean when I clicked Add Google File, and it listed all of my drive files. here is a file that I chose “Embed”. Although it finally works, it only gives me an Embed. During set up, the only other option is ‘Viewer File Link’. That’s shown below the Embed. (The ‘Download File Link’ option requires an Enterprise license!!).

- Here is the Viewer link. Now, finally, I can edit the document!
Second error:
- After getting the backend credentials to work, I could add the link. But when I clicked the link, I was taken through a set of Google authorization steps that I didn’t want to see. because: I set up the original auth using djcrowley.mclean; I logged in to WP using my WP dj1480 account. I could have but didn’t use the ‘login with google’ button.
(1) The old credentials contained the urls for the http/ site, so they didn’t work once I had changed to a https:// site
