Upon activating this plugin, I immediately get this message at the top of the dashboard:
WordPress database error: []
SELECT option_value FROM gv_options WHERE option_name = ‘wtgcsv_apisession’ LIMIT 1

]]>An issue arose where we had no option but to rename our post creation plugin. It is now called CSV 2 POST.
WordPress CSV Importer here on www.ads-software.com will now be a data importer only, no post creation. Anyone who knows WordPress CSV Importer prior to this change, will find the plugin they knew within CSV 2 POST. So essentially we re-branded a copy of WordPress CSV Importer and then downgraded WordPress CSV Importer. We don’t want two plugins the exact same and we will now focus on data management when it comes to WordPress CSV Importer.
CSV 2 POST is the advanced data import and post creation plugin from here on. https://www.csv2post.com is also the main domain for the post creation plugin and [ link redacted ] cannot be used due to it including the WordPress trademark “wordpress” obviously.
So yes, big changes and it all happened today. CSV 2 POST has been uploaded and the website which currently shows “WordPress CSV Importer” on it. Is about to get changed too CSV 2 POST.
In the long run this is all for the best. Thank you for your patience.

]]>I’m currently watching Version 0.2.2 uploading as I type this. Ryan worked for a week, mostly work applying to the paid edition but free users will see some nice changes.
Ryan showed me a new notice boxes called “Next Step”. Fair enough, it is a small thing. However it is a good indication that the plugin is to get easier to use. The Next Step notifications will appear after submitting forms or if a problem has been dedicated. They will suggest where you should go and sometimes they will be clickable. So the plugin essentially guides users. This has only be introduced, it has not been applied throughout the plugin. Once it is applied, I think the plugin will be very easy to use.
Ryan told me he is also going to work on the Questions and Answers page (Questions System) in the next few days. That is the page where answering none complicated or technical questions will configure the plugins interface to suit the users needs. Does any other plugin do such a thing? I don’t think so. You read it here first and it is in WordPress CSV Importer. A system to configure the plugin to suit your needs based on your answers, which you can change at a time also. The question approach works great, I can’t wait until Ryan has completed it.
We don’t like talking about the paid edition on these forums but I#m going to mention a key change. Scheduling and automation is now running. True auto-blogging or drip-feeding as you may know is now in action.
All Google ads were removed from free edition. Another step towards contributing a useful and enjoyable tool for the WordPress community. We will not be adding ads too the plugin again other than our own services.

]]>Is it acceptable to put ads on WordPress plugin pages i.e. Google AdSense?
Is there too much on WordPress CSV Importer pages?
We need your opinion and want to improve the plugin constantly so we will respond to feedback on this.
Thank you

Warning: Missing argument 2 for wtgcsv_sql_query_unusedrecords_singletable(), called in /home/*******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-csv-importer/templatesystem/include/wtgcsv_post_functions.php on line 65 and defined in /home/******/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-csv-importer/templatesystem/include/wtgcsv_sql_functions.php on line 64
Also, on the page used to submit the page, it states:
“Use the slider to decide how many posts to create using the records imported to your projects data table”
But there is no slider.

]]>Key changes were made by Ryan Bayne yesterday in the area of reading CSV files.
Users are now encouraged to ALWAYS select their files separator, quote and even enter the number of fields/columns in their file. This is far more reliable.
The interface and functions have been changed to reflect this. It is a different direction in the area of reading and handling CSV files. The interface looks good I think and Ryan told me he had total success testing a tab separated file with single quotes. That file would not work properly using PEAR CSV prior to the changes.
PEAR CSV is used in other CSV import plugins for WordPress however it should not be relied on. After a week of extensive testing, fget approach and counting the number of separators plus quotes in the header row is far more effective.

]]>Hello,
I would be interested to know if your plugin can map different fields from feed files with the one needed in my wordpress database and if it can update to the latest content from the feed?
Also, how are the images handles, are they resized to a said dimension, con this be modified?
Thank you.

]]>I had an idea today to give users of my plugins something back for donations. I’m not sure exactly what they would get but I would start with hiding any ads displayed on the plugins screens. I also have a plan to display ads on the plugins website, when someone is visiting by clicking a link within the plugin itself.
All those ads, would become hidden when someone makes a small donation. Just a start and the idea is all part of a very long term strategy to delivering plugins. I’m talking years, so I’m not sure when this would be implemented but I would guess near the end of 2013.
The whole thing would work by allowing a donator to register domains they plan to use the free edition on.
To make it worth doing there would need to be other advantages. Possibly access to the full edition for a certain period of time. This would suit users who have a one time need and know the free edition well. It would also serve as less risky trial.
A lot to consider and think about. It would all become part of the existing Web Services created using SOAP, already in development.

]]>Ryan has uploaded version 0.1.4 and we are waiting for any responses on it.
Users will be able to apply their separator rather than letting the plugin always determine it automatically. We tested it well but being a key area of the plugin we will be keeping watch on the support forum and emails.
Any issues please let us know. We are ready to make further changes straight away.

Another version may come within the next 24 hours.

]]>I have created tutorials in the past and I get told people cannot understand my strong Scottish accent.
So I don’t want to spend hours and days creating a lot of tutorials with voice instructions for my plugin. If the majority of people will mute them anyway ??
Do you think silent tutorials for WordPress plugin is good enough? I could maybe afford to pay someone to do a voice over on them later, that is something that won’t happen this year though.

]]>Released as an Alpha software, WordPress CSV Importer is the latest plugin for data import and post creation.
I would like to thank everyone for being so patient as the project suffers its delays and sudden design changes. Perfection is everything.
Can I please ask that no one rates or review the plugin at this time. This is clearly asked on the plugins interface. The plugin will become a Beta in 3-5 weeks and will be a beta for many months but will be usable.
Well I have much to do, expect new versions rapidly as the community feedback issues by email.
