Thanks, Jordy, for the clarification! Too bad – we just loved to remote control WP from Desktop computers – but in our situation it meant a major workflow-complication to switch from Bridge to Lightroom. This may sound silly as both products are from Adobe… Hence, all file-formats are compatible and also Metadata would read in without Hickups – but I have tried things out and found that we would lose more than we would gain.

I shared quite a bit of feedback on contact.xxxx.fr (about a week ago). Maybe food for thought – using an API wasn’t a strict requiment to create a connection to local assets.

Hi @pputzer,
please excuse my belated reply! Thanks for asking – yes you can mark this issue as solved. ??

Thanks again :o) I will discuss the options you propose with our developer.

While our project hasn’t gone live yet I’m very happy how much better text looks on the staging site with your WP-Typography. Great that you make this available. ??

Thanks for your reply! I now understand that limiting the tool to full words was a deliberate design decision. I’m curious – Have you actually tested failure rate at scale? Only considering the long explicit replacement list I already have, turning Umlauts in German language from ue, ae and oe to ü, ? and ? should work robustly. None of the list-entries we have so far would cause an error.

An inverted list, which holds all exceptions to transcription rules (Carmen McRae, Dr. Oetker, Menuett, Hugo Strasser) should be greatly shorter.

@Uploadfilter: We by all means need image names without umlauts and other German language characters, as these cause trouble in our Import Pipeline. While naming images offline, we therefore have removed all Umlauts, etc. As we still forgot a few, our Importer went haywire. For that reason, a script now skips wrongly named assets.

What we want is recreate the special characters with image file-names as input while leaving image-names unchanged. Search and Replace could work – but one would not want to run this manually, each time, when uploading assets.

Having these special characters right could give a competitive edge in Image SEO in E-Commerce for German language markets. For this to work, however, one needs to re-establish proper names, before assets get indexed by search engines.

Thank you for your reply. We ended up using another plugin.

Thank you very much, John! We will have a look.

Hi Katsushi,
please allow me to answer for Henning, as he is currently travelling. The answer is Yes.

Thanks for your reply, Steven! Yup, we are aware of both extensions. They do not (at all) offer what I laid out in my first post. We might end up with FacetWP – but it requires a lot of extra work on our end, to reach our SEO goals.

Moved to Fixing WordPress, this is not an Everything else WordPress topic.

Thanks! Actually it had been moved to everything else by another Mod. I had opened it in the Development-Forum, but this here is fine too.

Hi Doug,
my question remained unanswered. Hence I see no point in marking this issue as resolved. I know that custom development is always an option.

Thank you RK,
I was familiar with this sort of products – but here I was specifically asking for a tool which improves initial assignment of categories and tags from within product pages. This tool looks quite nice already, as it uses hierarchies in categories but I wondered if there was yet a stronger tool out there, to make a choice from a long list of categories, directly from pages.

We will likely not need a spreadsheet view, as we’ll manage pretty much all product related data with an external ERP (and we would prefer not having to change pages, just to assign categories).
