Post Type Update

  • Is it possible for this plugin to update the post type to a new one?

    We have one post type we use for items for sale and another for sold items, we’d like to be able to bulk edit sold items by simply changing the post type and adding a couple extra fields when providing the ID for the post.

    Currently when I try doing this I get an error:
    “The post type value from your csv file does not match the existing data in your database. post_id: 6853, post_type(csv): past, post_type(db): item”

    Any thoughts?

    It is able to do this… please try really_simple_csv_importer_save_post filter.

    In default, the plugin reject requests to change post type, because for protect some hidden post type like attachment or revision.

    Hey Takuro,
    Can you please explain how to fix this by using the really_simple_csv_importer_save_post filter ?

    Thanks!

    OK I don’t think I did it the right way, but I got around this by removing the check in php.
    Or to be a bit more accurate, I replaced the lines that had the error message (and some actions) with the same action as was above them, so no matter what the situation was, it would go ahead and update the post type from the CSV data.

    Best,
    Jonathan
