Hi @thikoneres2016. Thanks for submitting a review and I’m sorry to hear about the poor experiences you initially had with our plugin. We’ve been slow to respond because we are short-staffed to keep up with all activity in the community but we do care about difficulties you had and want to make it a great plugin.
It’s true that many subsequent versions have been released since your review was submitted. Have you gotten a chance to try it again recently? I’d be interested in hearing what your thoughts are and especially about areas that you still think it should be improved in.
Regarding the original three things you reported:
- Missing content
- Manual update in order to deliver old posts
- Conflicts with special characters
#1: Missing content is almost always due to missing Transformer Rules. Although this could still be happening if you have custom content which rules don’t exist for yet, however, we and the community have also added more built-in rules which hopefully avoids stripping out content unexpectedly.
#2: Could you elaborate on this point? Best interpretation is that you are required to manually go back to old post (which already existed before installing the plugin) and update manually in order for their content to be pushed to Instant Articles.
#3: There was a “special character” issue (#116 on GitHub) fixed and released in v2.9. Perhaps this was the same as the issue you reported?
Thanks again for sharing your experience so far and we hope we can improve things for you as soon as possible.
Paulo
