Thanks for getting back on this.
I did manage to finally figure some things out by trial and error. Below are some solutions/observations I found and a couple of problems/errors I encountered:
(1) Plugin will create a category on the fly (and assign the post to that category) under the following conditions:
(A) Under Configuration, the Username specified MUST have enough permissions to create/edit categories (an Editor) else ingest will fail.
(B) CSV file obviously needs to have a field/column containing the category “name” or information, AND on the Ingestion setup page, under Predefined you need to select the correct Field to map to Categories.
(C) WISHLIST: A way to specify more than one category – Didn’t test, but I’m guessing in the CSV file, within the “category” field, that if you were to add multiple category names separated by commas, it might then add the post to the multiple categories you have.
(D) Same as (C), but for Tags…
(2) Got ingest errors for the following reasons:
(A) The TITLE cannot have any Carriage Return or Line Feed in the title. (I don’t know how the CR/LF got there in the first place, but it was.) It would be nice if the ingest/import routine checked for and stripped them out first…
The plugin is a VERY POWERFUL and USEFUL Tool – But it is weak on explanations and help – So maybe having a [?] Tool Tip or Help link for each area or input field for each of the different setup pages would be very handy indeed, and save time from having to go back and forth from Setup to Docs. Just saying…
