Specify meta/column to be excluded from timestamp conversion?

    Is there a way to specify meta/column to be excluded from timestamp conversion?? The plugin is converting U.S. Zip Codes ( eg. 10017 ) to dates (e g. 1970-01-01 ).

    I do realize that you provide a notice in the Export settings, “If you have problems and you get some value exported as a date that should not be converted to a date, please deactivate this option…”

    Looking for a way to exclude the Zip Code values from the conversion, either by adding a few lines in the plugin code, or by adding a snippet in functions.php

    Great plugin. Thank you for providing it.

    @devdjny,

    You have this filter to avoid this issues: acui_export_non_date_keys

    You can include this key in the array that manage this filter or you can disable the date conversion.

    Thank you. Happy to hear this is available. Can you provide a quick example of how to write the array for the keys to exclude using the example below provided in your documentation? Eg. does below simply a list of comma separated keys where you have “// Code” , or is additional code required? If this request requires premium support, please let me know. Thanks, again!

    Declaration:

    $non_date_keys = apply_filters( ‘acui_export_non_date_keys’, array() );

    Code exemple:

    add_filter( ‘acui_export_non_date_keys’, ‘prefix_acui_export_non_date_keys’ );

    function prefix_acui_export_non_date_keys( $array ) { 

    // Code

    return $array;

    }

    Yes, as you would include a new element in an array.

    function prefix_acui_export_non_date_keys( $array ) { 

    $array[] = 'new_element';
    return $array;

    }
