Is the option “Update the Custom post ID…” unchecked?

Sorry for my late reply. It is possible, but you’ll have to modify the source code. Line 1654 – function “get_terms” should have the parameter “hide_empty=false”. See https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/get_terms/

This is already on my to-do list. Not sure when this will be included in APT, though, because implementing this will require quite a lot of changes.

Hello, I haven’t tested APT with neither of these, unfortunately.

Thanks for clearing that up. I’ll try to do something about this in the next version.

Have you tried editing the KW sets using the import/export tool?

You can also try modifying the database option “automatic_post_tagger_keywords”. However, the option must be saved in a PHP serialized format (you can’t edit it manually – see https://secure.php.net/serialize ).

If I may ask, what exactly do you mean by saying that your server “can’t handle it”?

Hello, can you edit the keyword sets when you enable the CSV editor mode (Item editor mode > CSV)?

Hello. What happens when you delete/comment out the following code which is just below the snippet you posted?

wp_set_post_tags($post_id, $tags);
wp_set_post_categories($post_id, array($category));

It may be the case that the post is processed by APT first when the “wp_insert_post” hook is fired, but then the added terms are overwitten by these functions.

Hello.

If the plugin is indeed set to automatically process posts when they’re published (Settings > “Run APT when posts are: Published or updated”), but this doesn’t happen as you say, then I might need to see your other settings.

Could you please export the settings and paste it somewhere or send the file to my Gmail address (I use the same handle there), so that I can take a look at it and try to figure out what’s going on?

Could you please provide more information, e.g. why doesn’t APT let you add more keywords? Are you seeing any error messages for example?

Hello, since one of the previous versions it’s not possible to use category IDs as term names anymore – you need to use category names instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello, sorry for my late reply. I’ll update the description, thanks for bringing this up.

Thanks for confirming the bug. I wasn’t able to recreate it at first, but I’ll take a closer look at it.

It shouldn’t – the code is fairly simple. Replace the numbers with appropriate post IDs and put it somewhere around the line 2838 (beginning of the function “apt_single_post_tagging”) in the main php file:

if (in_array($apt_post_id, array(1,2,3,4))){
	return;
}

I haven’t tested this, so you might want to do that first or create a backup before putting this on a live site. Let me know if this works or not.

Also, just FYI – when a new version of APT is released, these changes will be lost. (But I’ll implement something like this in v1.9.)

In this version there’s no way to ignore specific posts. You can only change the ID range in the bulk tagging tool. But I can tell you what to change in the source code to make APT ignore certain IDs if you want.
