Couldn’t have said it better. In fact, my review just before yours pretty much said the same thing.

I actually asked if purchasing the premium version would allow me to push/hide the plugin under /Settings and answer was No.

Now, a week later, they’ve added a new Admin popup message to invite you to leave a 5-star review.

Does “Peter” know about all of this? He did it right. I want Peter back.

+1 from me. Not much irritates me more than when plugins feel they need to be out in the main WP Admin menu – especially “set it and forget it” type of plugins which this clearly is.

Plus, there is no reason for it. 2 out of the 3 screens are billboards for the other plugins. The “Settings” page offers a single setting.

WP SMTP did this a few years ago in a big marketing ploy. Earlier this year I found FluentSMTP which properly lives in the Settings area. I’m just about done migrating 60+ sites.

Visit the Advanced WordPress group on Facebook and you’ll see this behavior gets a lot of attention… and not the attention you want as a plugin dev.

Please consider moving it back to underneath /Settings and use Tabs if you need to display multiple sub-pages.

Thanks Collins. Please consider moving it back to where it used to be, especially for a Paid version.

This type of activity upsets many wordpress users, especially those of us who live/breath WordPress daily. (Visit the Advanced WordPress Facebook group and you’ll see it come up many times)

That is great! You have always ‘listened’ to your customers and we appreciate it.

Thank you.

Thank you for confirming. I didn’t mention it, but I actually did check your documentation tab before posting here. It reads:

“A string that contains user passwords. We have different options for this case:
– If you don’t create a column for passwords: passwords will be generated automatically
– If you create a column for passwords: if cell is empty, password won’t be updated; if cell has a value, it will be used.”

It does not mention anything about the exported column named “user_pass” nor importing hashed passwords. (I understand how the plain text passwords work and use that method all of the time) I recommend updating your documentation tab to include the ‘user_pass’ and hashed passwords generated from an export from another site using your same plugin.

A new version 3.6.1 was pushed last night which solved the issue for me. The release notes did not mention anything about the issue, but whatever it was, fixed it.

+1 for me here. I’m testing with a real order, real credit card, etc. and getting the same error. Won’t even process the submission to pass over details to Authorize.net I’ve got every plugin updated, etc. as of today 6/21/21

Thank you for responding.

I’m at GF 2.4.24. I have purposely not upgraded to GF 2.5 since I’m waiting for all the dust to settle for a variety of other reported issues.

I’ve disabled the plugin and shifted to Akismet integration since I’ve had luck with it on other sites. (This site I’m working on was originally designed by another designer who put your plugin in a few years ago) If I get a chance to circle back and test yours, I’ll let you know.

I found this thread as I’m having the same problem. EVERY single entry on our form since April 24 has gone to spam, including myself testing just this morning. I’m investigating caching, etc. but I found it interesting that mine started within a few days of @surbma

Did you replace it? with what? Cuz I’m looking to do the same things. I’ve got this installed on nearly 20 sites

I’m a big user of buddyboss and a bigger fan of this import.

I am looking to import a user’s “Profile Type” which is what BuddyBoss calls them. But this thread calls them Member Type. Buddyboss does have a plugin that implements the same functionlity to BuddyPress. https://www.buddyboss.com/product/buddypress-member-types/

But I am looking for BuddyBoss Profile Type as defined here: https://www.buddyboss.com/resources/docs/components/profiles/profile-types/ and shown on my installation here – https://www.screencast.com/t/Lg2FgneJ

If they are different, then I will start a new thread.

I’m interested in this too.

Wow, this is awesome, thank you! I’ll give it a test run on an upcoming site and report back. There are a handful of BuddyBoss users (in their FB group) that have been asking about this too. I’ll spread the word.

Excellent, thank you!

I’m not sure how it works in detail. But it would not extract images from CSV, but instead it downloads external or links to local image. It requires the image “references” to be exact and pre-defined. For example, the CSV value would be something like

https://currentwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/profile-images/first-lastname.jpg
or
https://externalwebsite.com/somefolder/first-lastname.jpg

If existing on the current media, then it would use as is. If located on external website, it downloads the image from site and saves it to local media.

I know WPAllImport handles images from external URL or local WP Media. I use it often for regular posts, custom post types, ACF, etc. But, WPAI does not handle buddypress like you do. https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/images/overview/

FWIW – if you had a “pro” version that included advanced topics like this, I would be willing to pay a fee for it.
