Html entity decode

    Hi!

    When importing CSV files with WP All Import, there’s an option to decode Html entities (so that you don’t see for example < b > text < / b > etc. but simply text )

    Your add-on is great, however when importing data to a tab, html entities are not decoded.

    Is there a way to transform them easily or perhaps tweak the plugin ?

    Thank you !

    Hi @strozzapr,

    We should and will add that to our plugin. It makes a lot of sense. I will make a ticket for it. Thank you for letting us know.

    In the meantime, if you wanted to, you could wrap your Custom Product Tabs content in a custom function that runs the html_entity_decode() function. Let me know if that’s something you’d like more information about.

    Cheers,
    Kevin.

    Thank you very much Kevin for your quick response!

    Wrapping my content in that function did the trick.

    Cheers!

    Awesome. I’d still like to add it to the plugin but that’s an easy workaround for now. Let me know if anything else comes up.

    Hi Kevin,
    I use cf7 for an enquiry Form in my Old wc (insert shortcode in product Description) I work on a Website Update now and wc offers the build in Contact Form. Which Id Love to use. However the new shortcode has my (the recieving) E-Mail adress in it. How can a non coder like I am import from .csv with a @ – symbol in the Product Description? Regards, Sandra

    Hi Sandra,

    I am not sure what the problem is. How are you importing? What is breaking? Are you using this plugin?

    Thank you,
    Kevin.

    Hi Kevin, I‘m sorry. Its WP All Import Pro Woocommerce Add-On. As I understand the documentary I cannot import Special characters via .csv .

    And the woocommerce contact form shortcode starts:

    [contact-form [email protected]“ subject=?

    And so forth. Error message is:“Post Content Template invalid“

    Thanks for your reply,
    Sandra

    Yeah it’s because you’re using a shortcode. WP All Import can’t process shortcode arguments very well. I am not a WP All Import person so I don’t know how to get around it. You’ll need to contact the WP All Import/Soflyy team.

    Oh alright, so it is pure luck the old form works fine. I will reach out to soflyy.
    Thanks for your feedback, Kevin.
    Much appreciated ??
