I’m not sure what the problem is, could you please provide me with more information? What exactly doesn’t work? Does the plugin add tags to posts which shouldn’t be added?

If your keyword/category name is “Incredible Hulk” and your related words contain something like this “incredible-hulk” or “incredible*hulk” (the asterisk can be used as a placeholder for any character/string) then in both these cases the post should be added to the right category. Does that answer your question or have I not understood it at all? (If that’s the case, what exactly is the problem?)

Let’s say the post title contains the keyword “Incredible Hulk”. I would want that to be posted in the ‘Incredible Hulk’ category. We might have another video titled with the keyword “Incredible Adventures” so I don’t want that to go to the “Incredible Hulk” category, but to the “Incredible Adventures” category. Of course this would all be setup in the settings.

But that should already work just fine (as long as you don’t use the related word “incredible” for both categories/keyword names), right?

Remember I am dealing with importing movies so it might not be the same for everyone. But for me, it would be a heck of a lot easier if ‘Importing Existing Categories’ to have the right column filled with keywords that match the left column of categories.

If you export all the keywrods into a CSV file and then open it in a spreadsheet editor, you can easily duplicate the column manually, edit it, save as a CSV file and import it into APT. This seems easier to me than implementing a new function 😛

Yepper by selecting “Replace old tags with newly generated tags” it did the trick.

Cool, I’m glad that works.

All prefixes, DB names etc. have been changed so it should be safe to run both plugins at the same time. There’s no need to deactivate the original plugin.

It may be a good idea to make a backup of all your data though (just in case something goes wrong).

In this thread (which can help you if you want to modify the plugin yourself to add categories instead of tags) somebody also posted a link to this plugin which should be able to do what you want – but I haven’t tried it so I don’t know if it actually works.

Sure – the version 1.6 will support custom taxonomies. It’s not going to be very user-friendly though (in order to add both tags and categories users will have to run two instances of the plugin) because there are more important things that need to be implemented in that release.

The version 1.5 uses a custom table (“wp_apt_tags”) in the database where tags + related words are stored. The character limit for each table row is 255, which is why the table needs to be either modified or deleted and replaced by a new table with new properties (which is what reinstalling should do).

You don’t have to upload a new version of the plugin by the way, it’s possible to edit the code directly from WP (Plugins > Editor). The plugin can be then reinstalled right from its options page (use the button “Restore default settings”). If you deactivate and delete the plugin via the WP admin interface then all its DB data should also be removed. If that does not happen for some reason, you need to delete the table manually (you can use e.g. phpMyAdmin to do that).
