Hi again –

Implemented your suggestions above and they didn’t change a thing. Variation images still show as main images and Main titles don’t show (only variation titles show.)

This really should be “basic” programming for a plug in to bring over the main image and main title of an item that is for sale.

Any other ideas or does this plug in just not work?

Hi Nazrul –

Thanks for the quick reply.

I’ve looked at what you suggested above, and changed the image portion to “Featured” image, so we will see if that works.

For the title, I already had “product Title” selected, so I don’t understand your directions? If I have “Product Title” already selected then shouldn’t it be pulling over the main title, and not a variation title?

I still question how this works.

If I am selling a pair of Diamond Earrings, and within that listing I have variation choices of “Pair A”, “Pair B”, etc., the title on my website would only have “Diamond Earrings” so why would your plug in “add” the variation choice to the title (i.e., Diamond Earrings – Pair A?) I’ve never seen an ecommerce website do that, so why would a plug in do this?

For the images – same thing…If I am selling four bowls, in four different colors, the title on my website would be: “Colored Bowls” and there would be a main image of the 4 bowls together. Why would your plug in add “Red Bowl” to the title, when it is only a variation choice? Your plug in would then also choose to show one of the variation images instead of the main image.

I’m not a programmer, but this seems pretty basic to me. The plug in should be pulling over main title and main images. If we want something other than that, then that could be a choice. We shouldn’t have to go thru all these steps to have basic functionality.

E-commerce websites do not show “separate” listings, when products have variations within them. There is always one listing with drop down choices inside the listing, for the variation choices. If I have listings with variations, I don’t want those variations to show as “separate” listings on Facebook, after the sync.

I will let you know if the featured image fix worked or not.

Thanks.

Hi Marcus –

Thanks for the quick response.

I had drafted a full email for you, then realized I couldn’t reply via email!

I don’t want to put all my personal info here, so if you want details and screen shots, can you provide me with an email address?

I am using V2.1.4 right now, of the FB WooCommerce plug in (that isn’t working.)

I can’t connect to my FB accounts at all, when trying to “reconnect” from the plug in. It wants to create new catalogs.

Kind of hard to explain if I can’t attach screen shots.

Looks like the last “new” products that came thru to FB were back in late July. Nothing has updated since then.

I’m sure some of the issues are on FB’s end, but trying to get answers out of them, makes you want to pull your teeth out!

Thanks for the response. When I investigated it, I found one product that didn’t have sales tax attached to it, which is why the total was off. I thought I had caught all that, during the import of products, but apparently missed it.

Thanks.

Wonderful! Now everyone can see direct “proof” of etruel’s terrible customer service.

I didn’t threaten anyone. I have been asking etruel for help, with their poorly functioning WPeMatico plugin, for over two months, of which they didn’t provide any help whatsoever, except for excuses.

I told them this week (after two months of this nonsense) that if they couldn’t provide me with a resolution, with getting their plugin to actually work, then I would be changing my review on www.ads-software.com, which is what I did today.

Gotta love “businesses” who handle themselves so inappropriately.

Stay away from etruel and WPeMatico. Save yourself the grief and waste of time that they AND their plugin are.

Hey Rhys –

Thanks for responding.

Damn! Wish yours would publish to posts!

That’s the whole point of RSS feeds (at least from eBay’s EPN program), I want to fill my blog with feeds of items to buy, so there couldn’t be “too many” posts! The more posts, the more chances to make money!

Thanks for the response and what a great plugin! It just won’t work for me now.

Happy New Year!

I think I have this figured out?

I just tried your plug in again. It formats BEAUTIFULLY, but, the problem is, when you enter the feed, it goes in to ONE blog post.

Most of the other RSS plugins create a “post” for each feed item (so if there are 100 items in the feed, you get 100 blog posts.) That is what I am looking for, and that is why those kind of plugins “update,” because they continually pull the feed and add new blog posts, each time they pull the feed.

Any plans to have your plugin create consecutive posts, rather than putting the feed in to one post?

The “look/layout” of your plugin, is the best I have seen, out of all the ones I’ve tried. But, I need a plugin that will continually pull the feed and create new blog posts.

Please let me know if I am confused here, somehow!

Thanks.

Hi Rhys –

Ok. I am confused now!

Aren’t RSS feeds a continual feed? An RSS feed just doesn’t pull “one time” right? You set the feed and when new items come along, the feed should “update?”

If I pull 100 items from eBay, on the first RSS feed, and five more items are loaded on eBay, later that week, then those five would update on my feed, correct?

That is what I mean about “continuous” posting.

People on the eBay Partner Network Forum Boards recommend your plugin, so I’m assuming it keeps on updating feeds?

Mj

I don’t think the EPN allows you to generate RSS feeds of your own items, to post elsewhere, because of the commission structure (you can’t get commission on your own items.) I think I read this on their TOS page?

Hi Rhys –

Continuous posting means the feed keeps working, without stopping. As long as new items are added to the feed, on eBay’s end, will they continue to show in the feed on my website? Or is there a “limit” to how many posts it will pull from the feed?

I’ve tried a few other plugins…one you could only pull 20 posts (it wasn’t continuous) and then I tried an RSS Aggregator, that keeps pulling from the feed, at intervals you set (i.e., every hour, every five hours, etc.) The feed just “continues” with that plug in.

Which way does yours work? Continuous posts from the feed that is uploaded or is there a limit to how many items it pulls?

Thanks.
