    Hello,

    I have a couple of questions.

    -After doing a batch, is there a place to see all the summaries done in case we need to modify some? Currently, I only see the latest summaries or the last 15, and I have 100s to do.

    -When doing a batch can we exclude indiviudal posts, pages, etc.? I have already added summaries (not with this plugin) to a few dozen of my posts, and I do not want to create duplicates when running a batch.

    Hi!

    • Great feedback. I will add pagination and improve overall UX on the Dashboard page, to be able to browse all summaries. You are right, you should be able to go through them easily. I’ll let you know here when it’s available, although you will receive the update obviously.
    • Since it’s another plugin you mention, you can make our batch process skip those articles by adding a tag on them, or a new custom category, and then setting the “Filter by Categories and Tags” option so it’s not selected.

    Thanks, Julian. The issue with the tag or category idea is I do not want to update my modified date (it will not let me prevent this when saving a post) and I do not want to create uneeded tags or categories on the site and have them indexed.

    Not sure about how to work around the issue that you don’t want to update the modified dates. Regarding the additional tags, you could delete the tags/categories after the batch process. Maybe disable the other plugin and generate summaries for all your posts with WPSummarize? A couple dozen posts won’t cost much in API usage.

    Also, I just released version 1.0.57 with a much better Dashboard, including the possibility to search and browse through all your summaries, filter by batch process, regenerate individual summaries and a few other features. Please let me know if this update is helpful for you.

    Thanks, the summaries are not showing. See screenshot.

    As for the other summaries, this were done manually, not with a plugin, and I want to keep them. I have used other plugins that provide a direct field to omit specific content by its Post ID, seperated by commas. Not sure if they would be easy to implement? See example.

    Thanks for your replies. The summaries should be there, I can see them on my installs. I’m trying to figure out the error, if you can activate WP_DEBUG and tell me what you see on your log I’d appreciate it.

    Ok, the per post ID exclusion seems like a good idea. Let me add it, I’ll keep you posted on this.

    EDIT

    Below is what was in the debug log

    That’s it, thanks! GENERATED is a reserved keyword in MySQL 5.7+, causing the error. I missed that, sorry.

    I just uploaded version 1.0.58 with the fix.

    I also included the post exclusion by ID in the batch process page.

    Let me know if everything works as expected.
