In reply to: Prevent Duplicate Posts instead of adding -2 suffixlol ofcourse no one is going to write the same post twice but it’s not a human error else this thread and others like it would not exist now would they?!
You need to look at the bigger picture. I’m a developer and I made CSV 2 POST and CSV 2 POST Plus which imports any data to use it to make posts. Like if someone has a directory of Jewish Synagogues on a basic PHP website and want to transfer to WordPress the fastest way to create the pages is import yes?
Well some importers already exist but my own occasionally creates duplicates despite have 3 different checks in place to prevent it.
Once I figure it out however I’m sure I’ll prevent my plugin from creating the occasional duplicates.
That will be my education. Your education is this…
“Title already exists the SLUG will be modified by adding a -2 to the URL/Slug” says SteveFree who knows that we need to check both title and post_name a.k.a slug for any existing matches.
He was asking for a way to prevent duplicates because currently if you inject one million rows of data into wordpress using wordpress functions. WordPress still allows duplicates. You can check for existing title and slug to do this and so yes he was talking about duplciate post titles in order to prevent entire duplicate posts!
Unless he is planning on multiple posts with the same content and just different titles! No.

In reply to: Prevent Duplicate Posts instead of adding -2 suffixHey
I’m looking for a fix to this too. I thought wp_insert_post would have the ability to simply stop publication if a match was found and I can’t find a blog option/setting that would prevent it.
It actually leaves me wondering why it’s so easy to duplicate posts when duplicate content is such a major issue on blogs?!
I think this needs to be implemented as an option in settings in admin.

In reply to: Exporting Post Details To Excel or CSVHey
Did you find a solution for this and would you be willing to purchase CSV 2 POST Plus if I added such an ability to it?
I plan to anyway it’s just that I could make it higher priority.
CSV 2 POST is a csv import plugin I made that is slowly and will aventually do all things CSV on WordPress so that you don’t need to install a plugin to mass delete posts, export data and another one to import it.
Currently selling at £29.99 and the price will go up once the export ability is added however for you I would keep it at this price.

In reply to: CSV Import by Zack Preble only imports 12 at a timeYour best using CSV 2 POST for csv import. It’s a very new, impressive and not even nearly finished plugin despite what it can do already.
It’s about to get an upgrade that includes mass post delete as just an extra tool!

In reply to: Not able to create new category via scriptDo you need to include those files for a plugin because I get the same error SOMETIMES but sometimes it works in my plugin!
To me thats just strange it can’t be defined sometimes and not other times can it so is there something that sometimes does not include these files as standard and that is the issue possible?!
wp_insert_category
wp_create_categorysame happens with both of these. Funny thing is I have it in 2 places in my script within different if statements ok and if the other instance is called, it works fine I think.Need to confirm however but it has worked thats the main puzzling issue so any help is great.

In reply to: Convert CSV To WordPress Post TOOLI think everyone who wants to be a good developer should make a script like this. It’s got a lot of good learning in it.
I took my localhost to online blog import script a step further and made CSV 2 POST plugin. Interface allows import of csv file without editing the csv file in most cases or having to type in the column names into the plugin!
Took a good while but like I said lots of learning and worth it. Got to make a none wordpress version again now that runs only on my own functions like I did before but now using the new csv 2 post interface.
Does any of yours not use wordpress functions or did you develop yours to work in wordpress?

In reply to: WP 2.8 Admin not showing properFor technical support you will usually have to be lucky, pay or wait a very long time. I don’t even know if the forum mods get paid?! Do they?
WordPress make any money?
I suggest if your a serious website owner running a serious website then just pay a wordpress pro to sort these issues save yourself the stress.

In reply to: Problems with pages (quite urgent..)I suspect the cron is causing a permanent process shutdown on my own blog and it sounds like it could be happening to you, maybe.
I have a lot of WordPress blogs and I only upgrade one of them to be safe.
The one that I upgraded to the latest 2.8.4 is http://www.1book2books.co.uk which you may see is currently down with 403 forbidden message. It has been down pretty much since upgrade.
I must stress I cannot be totally sure that my situation is similiar however my hosting emailed me to say it was probably a problem with a plugin because “wp-cron.php” was in the error. So that file is defo being triggered for some reason and was not prior to this upgrade because I never had this issue and made no changes other than upgrading.

In reply to: [Plugin: iFrame Admin Pages] Pointless pluginlol well I have to second kperrones comment seeing how I made the plugin! 🙂 What is the point in that comment there has to be more to it than that?
There are still many people “using dog of browser such as IE” and old version of it too but it’s little to do with the browser. Your profile says your a software freelancer so I would think you could see the potential of this plugin. Also this builds fave pages into the admin interface which some people really like and you should know being in software that it’s all about improving the existing interface. It’s nothing to do with browsers.
This plugin is just another approach to doing exactly as you say but straight from your admin! Totally nothing wrong with choice and this plugin allows webmasters on busy blogs to deliver pages to the members in a very efficiant way.
It is a very specific tool for a specific purpose that not all people have and so need. However some do and have sent me very nice emails regarding the plugin but thaks for your comment sa05admin!

In reply to: Plugin Removed From WordPress Directorylol It appear again not long after posting this actually.
Problem was with my file versions not matching the stated stable tag. So the removal was automatic which I never read anywhere and assumed it was a manual change.
Newbies eh!
Thanks for fast reply and this is resolved.

In reply to: [Plugin: Users to CSV] Commas Not Semi-Colons and an ideaI created a similiar CSV plugin but it is CSV to POST.
I put it together this week and going to make some serious updates to it so that it does anything CSV+WORDPRESS. I’ve seen CSV to USERS alot, is this in big demand then? Why are people exporting user data as CSV file, is this how they are backing it up I guess?
My plugin is here, hopefully by the time someone else finds this my plugin also does user data but right now it does ANY CSV file TO post without editing the CSV file…

In reply to: increase media library upload file size limitThis question is being asked all over this forum and the internet. I have done it before and it was easy but on WordPress nothing works for me.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to increase max file size upload limit from 2MBI tried that page you gave esmi and it does not apply to myself. Maybe applys to the guest above.
Is this PHP INI code?
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
I have not seen php_value before and it looks like ini which also doesnt work for me because its a plugin I’m developing.

In reply to: Increasing max filesizeIs this PHP INI code?
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
I have not seen php_value before.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to increase max file size upload limit from 2MBI have the same issue.
Done it before in PHP outside of WordPress but in wordpress on a plugin I am developing its proving to be impossible.
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
ini_set(‘post_max_size’, ’50M’);
ini_set(‘upload_max_filesize’, ’50M’);print “upload_max_size: “.ini_get(“upload_max_filesize”).”
\n”;
print “post_max_size: “.ini_get(“post_max_size”).”
\n”;
print “max_input_time: “.ini_get(“max_input_time”).”\n”;
This is generally what I have used before but having no luck the settings just won’t change for my plugin script.
