Imports as revisions to one post instead of multiple posts

  • Not sure what changed in the latest update that caused this, but there was a lot of panic trying to resolve it.

    We run an old plugin, Docs to WordPress, that imports Google Docs as individual posts for our sites. With this latest update of WP-Optimize, instead of a couple hundred individual posts coming across, we got one or two posts, with hundreds of revisions.

    Our solution for now is simply to deactivate WP-Optimize when we need to run our batch import, but I wanted to provide some anecdotal documentation in case whatever caused the conflict is causing other problems for users.

  • @tararebeka Sorry your explanation is bit unclear to me, Can you please explain the issue in detail?

    I want to preface this by saying the conflict isn’t something I expect you to fix for us. The conflicting plugin we run is quite old and hasn’t been updated in years. I only want to let you know about our problem in case it’s relevant to other issues you may be experiencing.

    Docs to WordPress runs a CRON job to scrape articles we have in our Google Drive. For example, we have ten documents in Google Drive, run the CRON, and those documents import as ten individual posts in WordPress.

    When we updated WP-Optimize, it conflicted by not allowing those ten documents to populate as individual posts, but rather as one post with nine revisions.

    @tararebeka If the Docs to WordPress publish the docs as 10 different posts then WP-Optimize should populate it as 10 different posts, make sure the posts imported are marked as individual posts and not revision.

    make sure the posts imported are marked as individual posts and not revision.

    There is no setting in Docs to WordPress that tells it to post as a new post vs. a revision, unless you’re implying there is a setting in WP-Optimize that does that.

    Testing again, the result is the same. Deactivating WP-Optimize during the CRON job is the only thing that works.

    Another site of ours is running WP-Optimize 3.1.7 and Docs to WordPress without issue.
