    Awesome Plugin – thank for all your hard work, has saved me hundreds of hours ?? THANK YOU…

    Now just a few questions as I tried and failed, not very well versed with WP functions, so please bear with me..

    1. I want to assign “Home” page as “Front Page” (like we do from Reading settings, and similarly I want to assign a page to “Archives”..

    2. I am using Multiple Sidebar plugin, and want to register new sidebar after the import and add certain widgets to them… below is what I am doing, but it doesn’t register new sidebar..

    register_sidebar(array(
    ‘name’ => esc_html__(‘My Sidebar’, ‘mytheme’),
    ‘id’ => ‘My Sidebar’,
    ‘description’ => ”,
    ‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”%1$s” class=”widget %2$s”>’,
    ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
    ‘before_title’ => ‘<div class=”heading”><h3>’,
    ‘after_title’ => ‘</h3></div>’,
    ));

    update_option( ‘sbg_sidebars’, ‘My Sidebar’ );

    Any idea, why it doesn’t register sidebar ? secondly should I register sidebar before import so that it adds widgets automatically ?..

    thank you once again.

    regards

    Ok, I have solved the issues of Sidebar registration, it has to be an array…

    $sidebars = array(
    ‘ContactUs’ => ‘Contact Us’,
    );
    update_option( ‘sbg_sidebars’, $sidebars );

    for the rest still testing ??

    thanks

    Setting front page ??

    // Set Front Page from Reading Options
    $front_page = get_page_by_title( ‘Home’ );
    if(isset( $front_page ) && $front_page->ID) {
    update_option(‘show_on_front’, ‘page’);
    update_option(‘page_on_front’, $front_page->ID);
    }

    moving forward, sorry for spamming my own thread.. might be helpful for other..

    Hi Capuderg, you are right ?? I solved those issues, and also rated your amazing work..

    Just one last thing, that I will looking forward is the size of images. My theme has custom image sizes, but while importing it adds a lot more.. so if I follow and add your filter

    add_filter( ‘pt-ocdi/regenerate_thumbnails_in_content_import’, ‘__return_false’ );

    it only imports MAIN large image.. how can I specify which formats should be imported, or where exactly that code is placed so I an modify it accordingly..

    Hi,

    thanks for the good review ??

    For the image sizes… you can use the WP filter intermediate_image_sizes_advanced, to eliminate some image sizes:

    function custom_filter_image_sizes( $sizes ) {
  unset( $sizes['medium']);
  unset( $sizes['large']);

  return $sizes;
}
add_filter( 'intermediate_image_sizes_advanced', 'custom_filter_image_sizes' );

    But you have to remove this filter: regenerate_thumbnails_in_content_import, so remove this line from your theme:

    add_filter( 'pt-ocdi/regenerate_thumbnails_in_content_import', '__return_false' );

    Take care!
