Applying content template after editing

    Hello,

    I think the content template feature in the free version is broken… unless I am just unable to figure out how to use it properly.

    The template is applied during the ‘Quick Start’ process. But there seems to be no way to make changes to the template and then re-apply the template to the content.

    Regards

    Hi

    The free edition has no form of updating at all. You are the first to question this actually. We really don’t need the custom post type for content there for anyone using the plugin as it is. The only benefit is copying and pasting a previous template so I would still be careful on my motion to hide the post type.

    However we always think about how people may want to hack our plugins.

    It would be very easy for a WordPress developer, even a beginner at WordPress who knows enough PHP, to update posts created by CSV 2 POST when updating the template. A WordPress developer could write the function within an hour, to hook into the submission, check the project that uses the template, find all posts created using that template and re-make them.

    Posts created by CSV 2 POST have post meta with the required data to make such an upgrade so simple.

    Thanks for using the plugin. I was actually working on it today and added dates import to the free edition Quick Start. New version end of August if all goes to plan.
