 * I just noticed that it’s not processing .htm files. Is that intentional?
 * Thanks.

 * No it should process any file in the unprocessed folder.

 * Hmmm. I see that they don’t have an H1, so I think they are just overwriting 
   one file in the HTML Files?
 * As a fallback, is it possible to have a <title> group be used as the H1, if no
   H1 is found? This is really old HTML, so no H1s.
 * Here again the slug pulled from the filename would help, as well.
 * Thanks, much.

 * good analysis.
 * yes the plugin uses the first H1 to determine the title and it uses the title
   to dertime if it is new or an update.
 * specifically changing the slug to be based on filename would not actually solve
   it as such, as still need a title.
 * what it probably needs is a fallback, as you suggest, title may be a good shout.
 * You have come up with some good issues, but please bear in mind, as work in this
   is in my spare time and ideas or changes I may choose to corporate may take some
   time, especially as it is holiday season.
 * if you are hand with php then there is a development repo you can contribute 
   pull requests to.

 * I’ve offered a couple of changes in my fork:
 * [https://github.com/ejnwebmaster/load-html-files](https://github.com/ejnwebmaster/load-html-files)
 * They address the slug and the post title issue.
 * Thanks for your efforts!

 *     ```wp-block-code
       sed -i 's/<title>/<h1>/g' *.htmlsed -i 's/<\/title/<\/h1>/g' *.html
       ```
   
 * The above, executed in the appropriate “processed” folder, and then moving the
   files back into “unprocessed” fixes the issue of a missing H1. Slugs are still
   wrong.
