Description

Known Issues

There are many known issues! 1. If you import a config from elsewhere, but you do not have the taxonomies configured, they will all default to the first taxonomy - a taxonomy expor/import tool has been added 2. You MUST have an SKU or it will not work at all

Coming Soon

  • Use friendly names from template for postmeta
  • Add default post template
  • Hide hidden fields
  • Show attached CSV file for import
  • Add option for an import to be executed against a different CSV file

Changelog

1.42 (6th December 2024)

  • Proper fix for tab-separated files - previously I only fixed the import interface, now fixed the actual import run too to handle tab separated files properly

1.41 (6th December 2024)

  • Fix for tab-separated files

1.40 (29th November 2024)

  • Fix to allow spaces in CSV file names...

1.39 (29th November 2024)

  • Added alert if trying to load an import to edit when the CSV file has been deleted - it's currently needed for reference
  • Added early-access auto-update prevention mechanism - users have to very clearly and deliberately enable auto-updates to mess up their live site - if you want to enable auto updates on dev or staging, add define('SSI_ALLOW_AUTO_UPDATE', true); to your wp-config.php
  • Added run now button to interface for small imports

1.38 (29th November 2024)

  • Improved default template to remove unused fields
  • Hidden tax and postmeta entries which are meant to be hidden
  • Added prevent creation of import with no name
  • Added duplicate import name check
  • Added new cli parameter list-files - e.g. wp ssi 20 list-files - will list files compatible with this import template
  • Added new cli --file parameter - e.g. wp ssi 20 --file="alternative.csv" will use import 20 but against the alternative.csv file - this will barf if the headers are different

1.37 (27th November 2024)

  • Fix for new settings to clear the local transient cache when the license key is changed
  • Added a new 'recheck now' button on the license key page for when users renew or upgrade

1.36 (21st November 2024)

  • Tidy up and standardisation of new license/settings page

1.35 (21st November 2024)

  • Speed boost for stage 1 - load-csv stage
  • Fix for stage 2 - import-taxonomies - no more reporting error when no error occurred, and fixed bug with duplicate term names in different taxonomies
  • Upgraded warning messages inside functions to Fatal Errors - this helps debug failing functions, just fix all the warnings so the code can run

1.34 (20th November 2024)

  • Fixed broken function calls - since I added the pretty textareas, the functions were not saving properly
  • Updated the JS to use time() for admin so ugosprint definitely gets the latest JS

1.33 (19th November 2024)

  • Added _default_attributes hidden field to batch import table
  • Use _default_attributes to store first variation from table selected per variable product
  • Updates variable product parents efficiently to set the default variation using _default_attributes
  • Fixed all slugs to be sanitized - for post_name and for attribute names when they are used as keys

1.32 (16th November 2024)

  • Fixed JS/CSS loading issue for certain versions of Scalability Pro (shared Settings file)

1.31 (13th November 2024)

  • Fixed issue with additional options (delete items missing from previous import) from appearing multiple times as you loaded each import
  • Added code to hide the 'hidden' fields in posts

1.30 (12th November 2024)

  • Fixed various warnings

1.29 (12th November 2024)

  • Fixed bug where everything was being marked as variable product, even simple products
  • Fixed new bug with postmeta _regular_price where it was checking the function rather than the stage table for whether it should upsert or not

1.28 (12th November 2024)

  • update-postmeta stage adjusted to increase performance
  • Updated post-update and post-insert to not set the value if the source column is null
  • Added post-slug field - by default, a sanitized post_title will be used for the post slug, but you can overrule this by setting a value for the post slug - if slug and post title are not set, the post_name will not be changed
  • Added variation control into the taxonomy section
  • Integrated variation control with previous hard-coded variations list

1.27 (8th November 2024)

  • Reduced key size for hierarchical tables to acommodate 4-byte unicode collations
  • Removed fallback to try to convert from wpallimport function - it was failing badly

1.21 (22nd October 2024)

  • Fixed hierarchical taxonomies so they are correctly set with parents in the database - also confirmed existing terms are being retrieved correctly
  • Also upgraded multi-term inserts, so if you have e.g. Cat1|Cat2|Cat3 > Cat4 then the item will be allocated to Cat 1, Cat 2 and Cat 4 correctly
  • Fixed term inserts and checks for terms when you have the likes of: Salt & Pepper > Salt|Salt & Pepper > Pepper, so it correctly assigns the parent for the 2nd term Pepper to be Salt & Pepper
  • Updated code to use the decimal separator correctly for prices

1.20 (3rd October 2024)

1.19 (30th September 2024)

  • Fixed bug for terms with html encodable text in their name (typically &)

1.15 (14th September 2024)

  • Added pa_ real name indicators to interface for taxonomy

  • Improved error logging for broken functions so you can see which one needs attention

1.13 (6th September 2024)
