wp-events-manager-importer not equal to wp-events-manager-importer

Hi,

You’re right, it’s a bit annoying

In my opinion, you should ask soixantecircuits/wp-events-manager-importer to disable the checking for updates as they are not in the wordpress plugin repository.

I just edited wp-events-manager-importer-master/emi.php

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Events Manager Importer
Plugin URI: https://soixantecircuits.fr/
Description: Import your .xlsx or CSV into Events Manager the way you want it.
Version: 1.0
Author: Soixante Circuits
Author URI: https://soixantecircuits.fr/
License: GPL
*/

replaced with:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Events Manager Importer Excel
Plugin URI: https://soixantecircuits.fr/
Description: Import your .xlsx or CSV into Events Manager the way you want it.
Version: 1.0
Author: Soixante Circuits
Author URI: https://soixantecircuits.fr/
License: GPL
*/

Now it’s fine.

Hi,

I thought the plugin registry was relying on the path of plugin (wp-events-manager-importer-master/emi.php in your case) to suggest an update.

I may have misunderstood your first post;

Have you been bothered by the similar names of the 2 plugins or by accepting an update in your WordPress admin console ?

If I understand you correctly then the second one. It showed me an update of the plugin (I guess because of the same names). First I thought it’s the same plugin so I updated until I realized that they are different ones.

After that I deleted (yours) the plugin (yours) and installed the old importer plugin. To prevend of seeming the update notice I renamed the old plugin.

Hi,

I have installed the plugin from soixantecircuits and I can see exactly what you are speaking of.

It doesn’t make any sense: the repository should not suggest an update as the plugin path is different.

Does it mean they (www.remarpro.com) look at the plugin name if they don’t find the path ?

Anyway, thanks for the heads up
