Sorry wrong plugin

It will only be to add a file when there is not a file listed / replace the file with another one / remove file.

Basically the same as with the image.

Yes – I want the zip file specified in the Download 1 URL column to be copied to the new domain.

I have contacted many developers of import/export plugins, but none of them are willing to assist.

To manually copy and upload is doable only if you are dealing with a small amount of files. I am dealing with 2 multi-vendor sites of more than 100GB, and I want to eliminate human error.

Maybe I don’t understand the issue, I don’t know, but I cannot understand why there are so many plugins on the market but none of them attends to this.

Surely I am not the only person in the world operating a website dedicated to virtual products.

Hi @mirko P

When you import products from a csv file, the product images listed in the “Images” column of the csv file are being fetched and copied over to the server, meaning that there is an actual png / jpg file now in the uploads folder. The downloadable files listed in the “Download 1 URL” of the csv file are not being fetched. You need to go into your Cpanel and copy those files onto an external drive, and then copy it into the new domain. I suppose that is not a big deal with 10 – 20 products, but with more than 1000 it is.

This gets complicated and a tedious task especially when the site(s) in question is a multi-vendor site, and with WordPress dumping everything in the uploads folder /year /month the task becomes even more difficult to locate the correct file that needs to be copied over to the new domain.

You are talking about (FTP, Command line tools, third-party file sync software).

Please point me towards a tool that will help me import (migrate) a specific vendors products (all downloadable files) that is listed under the Download 1 URL of the csv file that was created during the export process, from Domain A to Domain B.

Please consider adding this option as it would be a great benefit when you want to migrate a specific vendor with virtual products to a new domain

Thank you for your reply

As I see it, downloadable products are part of Woocommerce for many years, and the current differences between the Pro versions of the various import/export plugins are minuscule. Therefore, it remains a mystery to me as to why this part was overlooked by not one, but all of the plugin developers.

The “closest” one that I found so far is called woo-document-preview, but I am battling with the styling.

Currently it creates a button for each link on it’s own line, and I would like to have it horizontal. The moment I set it to float in the css it works, but there is virtually no space between the buttons and the add to cart button. it looks ugly

This is the only css file used by the plugin

.wcdp-preview-btn-div .wcdp-preview-btn {
	color: #fff;
	box-shadow: none !important;
}
.summary.entry-summary .wcdp-preview-btn-div {
	padding: 10px;
	vertical-align: middle;
	background-color: #a46497;
	cursor: pointer;
	text-align: center;
	border: 2px solid #fff;
}
.entry-summary .wcdp-preview-btn-div a.wcdp-preview-btn {
	text-decoration: unset !important;
}

Thank you, I will search

Thank you very much. I will have a look

Thank you very much – I will have a look. Unfortunately that is only 1 part of my problem.

I still need to find a solution for the payment system / mail system

This is the request as per the client:

I need the following solution on WordPress. Any Elementor friendly theme can be used. Woocommerce is not a dependency, but the payment gateway/s used must be for the South African Rand (ZAR) currency.

PROJECT GOAL

Normally when one thinks about a Freelance Marketplace, names like Freelancer and Upwork comes to mind. I also want to start a Freelance Marketplace, but I don’t want to re-invent the wheel. After all there are enough WordPress themes out there that will do the job. Unfortunately, there is not one (that I now of) that offers a solution in the way that I want it to be.

Let me try to explain what I am looking for.

The system defines 2 sections – The Professional and The Customer.

Susan is a Customer in need of a plumber. She access the website and is able to fill in a form stating her:
– Name
– Surname
– City
– Category (Dropdown list of predefined categories)
– Details description of her problem
– Telephone Number
– Email address.
– Size of project (small, medium, large)

When Susan submit the form, it will be placed on the system as a listing. However, Susan’s contact details must be hidden. It will also send out an email to all the people registered on the system as a Professional, based on the category and the location supplied by Susan, notifying them that a NEW BUSINESS LEAD was submitted.

Now here is where the twist comes in

– In order for the plumber (The Professional) to be able to see Susan’s contact details, he must purchase credits.

** BUSINESS LOGIC – 1 Credit = R23

Small project = 2 x credits.
Medium project = 5 x credits
Large project = 10 x credits

– After being able to see the contact details, the Professional will be able to contact Susan by way of email and / or telephone, in order to send her a quotation / arrange for an onsite meeting.

** BUSINESS LOGIC – Contact details of any listing may only be sold to a max of 5 interested Professionals in order not to flood Susan with proposals

Therefore, it all boils down to a system that is selling CONTACT DETAILS (Business Lead) to (max of 5 per listing).

The system does not get involved in anything beyond this point. There is no guarantee that when the Professional purchase the credits in order to see Susan’s contact details, that he will be appointed. That only gives you the opportunity to present Susan with a quotation.

Extra Info

In order to supply The Customer with good quality quotes, the Professional must upload an ID, business documentation, and proof of residence. This is just a small attempt to root out a fly by night individual.

Additionally, the Professional must be able to list his own business profile on the system as well, from where it would be possible for site visitors to locate him based on category, and location.

Customers may also be able to rate the service of a Professional.
