[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Export – Import bug

Yep, unable to export a file and then import it on another blog … ??

Hmm I’ll look into it, not the highest priority though to be honest.

Hi Joost,
I totally understand that. Not too many people with multi-user blogs I guess. Thanks for your reply, Bart

Hehe not just that, not too many people with multi-user blogs that use the import function ??

Joost I would like to also request this fix.

Thanks for the great plugin.

FYI: To Others I believe donations to the author would be the best way to persuade this fix to receive a higher priority.

Experiencing same issue … would love to migrate a bunch of users to this but we’ll have to wait until this is sorted out. ??

I’m guessing you’re talking about a different thing @diesel12, import works fine for AIOSEO etc. Just apparently not for the import from the SEO settings at the moment.

Found the answer to this – WordPress MU denies .zip files by default.

You need to go to:
Network Admin > Settings > Upload file types

Then add zip to the exception list.

Then try again. You can now upload your settings file.

On further investigation, I noticed that the file wasn’t importing properly (folder permissions).

So I wrote a patch for the code in class-config.php.
Line: 412

$file = wp_handle_upload($_FILES['settings_import_file']);

				if ( isset( $file['file'] ) && !is_wp_error($file) ) {
					require_once (ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php');
					$zip = new PclZip( $file['file'] );
                    $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
					$unzipped = $zip->extract( $upload_dir['path'] );
					if ( $unzipped[0]['stored_filename'] == 'settings.ini' ) {
						$options = parse_ini_file( $unzipped[0]['stored_filename'] , true );
						foreach ($options as $name => $optgroup) {
							if ($name != 'wpseo_taxonomy_meta') {
								update_option($name, $optgroup);
							} else {
								update_option($name, json_decode( urldecode( $optgroup['wpseo_taxonomy_meta'] ), true ) );
							}
						}
						@unlink( $file['file'] ); // Remove archive file

						$content .= '<p><strong>'.__('Settings successfully imported.', 'wordpress-seo' ).'</strong></p>';
					} else {
						$content .= '<p><strong>'.__('Settings could not be imported:', 'wordpress-seo' ).' '.__('Unzipping failed.', 'wordpress-seo' ).'</strong></p>';
					}
				} else {
					if ( is_wp_error($file) )
						$content .= '<p><strong>'.__('Settings could not be imported:', 'wordpress-seo' ).' '.$file['error'].'</strong></p>';
					else
						$content .= '<p><strong>'.__('Settings could not be imported:', 'wordpress-seo' ).' '.__('Upload failed.', 'wordpress-seo' ).'</strong></p>';
				}

That works for MU but will need testing on standalone installations. It’s probably correct because it uses wp_upload_dir().

Thanks for the great plugin as always ??

UPDATE

You will want this code instead. The error handling is a mess and would advise redoing it. This was a quick hack to get it working.
