Hi,

Thank you very much. We needing to do an import every couple of months which is why we created the tool in the first place.

Thanks for pointing this out, I have added this into the latest version.

I would love to spend more time on this project and hope one day to create a much bigger version with lots of options but I do not think this will happen for a few months.

If you spot anything else like this, send it along and that would be great.

Thanks again.

Hi Andrew,

This error is caused when using old versions of PHP which are less than version 5.3 and this plugin only works on versions of 5.3+.

You are probably using version 5.2 of PHP which is over 4 years old and has now no longer supported by PHP http://php.net/eol.php.

If you need to check your version of PHP you can try checking it by uploading the following

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

You may want to consider contacting your host and upgrading to a much new version of PHP such as 5.6.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi,

I have amended the code so that it no longer displays the notice.

The warning indicates that you have not specified where the content is that you want to scrape within the HTML. This maybe fine, or you may be scraping additional content that you do not want.

The Error no valid html or 404, probably indicates that there is a link on the site you are scrapping which is broken and has no HTML to scrape.
I have extended the plugin to indicate the page which this happens on.

Hi,

There are lots of ways to scrape sites and none of them provide this functionality so it would be pointless to add this into the plugin.
The point of the plugin is to combine the ability of Scraping another site with importing into WordPress as one plugin rather than doing these tasks seperatly which can sometimes take hours of work.

If you are worried about people scraping your content I suggest you read more about googles panda update on the following URLS

Hi,
I have fixed this issue in the next release so they will not show again.

Hi Patrick,

Could you tell me the URL of what you are trying to scrape (
and the video if you have time). I will then replicate the issue on monday. These are probably only warnings but I will check them out
