In reply to: [YouTube Sidebar] Works GreatHey thanks just installing a new blog for working on this plugin. Going to look at the styling around the video.
You must be displaying it in a wide sidebar or small video size? Video size can be changed should the issue be that the video is not filling the sidebar enough for you.

In reply to: [YouTube Sidebar] Centering VideosHello
Thank you. I plan to do more with the plugin. Just waiting for it to build up more users and try to work in a direction that people want/need.
What your asking is a case of styling really. I can get the video in a div by default. Going to have a look at it right now for you.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] Not sure how to work this pluginOh and normally I would assume that somewhere in all that you have experienced a fault or a design issue that causes confusion. Then I would offer a discount. But the plugin is already very low priced now. That is to encourage a last minute influx of users so that there are more people testing 8.0.0 as it is being developed.
Should you one day decide to purchase and the price has gone back up then a discount is available to yourself.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] Not sure how to work this pluginSome of the issues are a result of the data not being imported so they probably aren’t bugs. Token replacement is vital in this plugin and constantly tested so I’m confident in that.
If tokens themselves do not appear in final posts, it may mean they are being replaced by empty values or incorrect (blank) template is actually in use and not the one you think.
Thank you for your patience.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] Not sure how to work this pluginHi
Thank you for trying the plugin. It is a complex plugin because it is a watered down version of the premium which is very complex. The plugin is about to enter a new phase of development though. Hoping to start it in around one week. A far easier interface, more guidance, more help.
Until that is complete I am here to help.
Looking at your list, it’s the wrong away around. First thing is importing the data and go no further with your project until you see the data in the database. Issues there let me know, send your .csv file and so on. Nothing will work without data already imported, it is the reason your token’s cannot be replaced.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] File uploading problemError code 7 is a PHP error see here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php
Never had this reported. Some posts online indicate it happens more with larger files so it could be the server giving up on writing it at some point. Maybe reaching a process limit.
You can upload .csv file using FTP and then use it the plugin. I recommend testing a small .csv file first and see how you get on. Look in the wp-content folder to find the directory where you .csv files will be stored.

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] Regarding GSoC 2013I keep hearing about that and that has been a while. In defense…of anyone creating an import plugin for the masses. That includes myself who plans to re-develop existing imports plus release more. I say this…
All of these importers are tricky business. Even this one us some serious one star ratings as do my own despite having clients like Ryanair Ltd who use my plugins daily.
Problem is there are endless variables in data related projects. There are even more variables in the user; how users might want them to work, expect them to work and need them to work. Some don’t know how they need them to work to get the outcome they desire or even know the outcome possible using their data and so on.
There are even more complications in premium importers that are more advanced. CSV 2 POST is my own and I have endless chicken and egg scenarios. Due to spinning content, generating values or mass manipulating them on the fly, during post creation. Troubleshooting issues is tough because there are endless settings, some may not apply to the users data or the plugin may actually have a bug.
It all just takes a lot of work and time. Too much I reckon, for a free plugin anyway.

In reply to: [Easy CSV Importer] too confusing – no documentationHi
Thank you for trying the plugin. I’m establishing a solid method of delivering such help content to premium buyers of my plugins right now as it is very time consuming. My plugins get updated a lot and will do for the next couple of years. A lot of interface changes. It means documentation needs updated and any videos on YouTube quickly become out of date.
Also the nature of this plugin makes it hard to please everyone even if help content exists, hence why I’ve not made it priority and instead I welcome people to contact me. I spend a lot of hours every month helping free users for free to get individual results.
The plugin is to be developed further later this year though. Documentation will come. I have created a new approach to creating my plugins that will make it easier to document. So things will change and it will probably become less time consuming plus cheaper to create free support.
Thanks again

In reply to: [Nextend Twitter Connect] Fatal Error: Call to undefined function dbDelta()This is required. I’ve just forgotten to move it with everything else. Actually whenever your working in a plugin and you get a function undefined error. It usually because the plugin needs to include it.
require_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php’ );

In reply to: [Nextend Twitter Connect] Fatal Error: Call to undefined function dbDelta()dbDelta() does not just execute a CREATE query. It also updates existing tables.
I found this post as I’ve started to get the same issue in WP e-Customers. dbDelta() is called within a class method which is used in the method that the activation hook calls.
I made changes. I moved dbDelta() for about six tables into a create_tables() function. Previously they sat in the function called directly by the activation hook. I’ll be surprised if it is the cause but it is the only change I made.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] wpautop not workingHello again.
Today I added a setting on the Content screen in Projects for activating wpautop(), in the paid edition.
Do you require it in the free edition? Was not sure if you had purchased the plugin or not.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] wpautop not workingMost users import one paragraph of text (no actual <p> though) or they import content with
and <p> in it. It is possible others have had the same problem as yourself but not reported it.Not sure if other importers put content through wpautop() function by default but I think we’ll need a setting in CSV 2 POST to disable/enable it.
I will get it done this week and return to this post with an update. Thank you for your feedback.

In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] wpautop not workingI may be mistaking about the functions use after reading this…
How, where and why are you using wpautop?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [CSV 2 POST] wpautop not workingNo one has raised this before but it does sound like something may need done. Looking into it now.
I’ve never worked with the wpautop function so have a little reading to do. From what I do know, it should be applied automatically because it is on by default and there are plugins for disabling it.
Can’t see CSV 2 POST disabling it so I’m thinking WordPress applies paragraphs to content prior to calling wp_insert_post() which creates the entire post.

In reply to: How would you translate this?Alright maybe it was a silly question. It is a simple thing but I’ve not spent many hours translation or preparing various strings for translation.
Anyway here is what I’ve done and I see no issues with it other than the link title translation.
