I see, this might fit the bill. Do I have to pay every year to keep using this plugin though?

Thank you Caleb. These are virtual and downloadable products but I need time to generate them when someone places an order. So I want a way for the user to specify the turnaround time they need, which will also change the pricing. User should be able to select 7 days, 5 days, or 3 days in a select box. I want these same variations to be available for every single product globally in one go, without having to save database rows for each product to set it up. Maybe there is something besides variations. I thought I could just hook into a function related to variations to override the default interaction with the database to check for them, but that’s just my theory. How could I make this happen?

Try this in your output code, this will restore automatic <p> tags for line breaks:
<?php echo wpautop($curauth->description, false); ?>

$20/month for an image compression plugin?! I’d pay $50 one-time for it, but never monthly.

The major problem I found is that the “automatic smush on upload” is coupled with the upload itself. This is poor code architecture. The smush functionality should never interfere with normal WP content administration like image uploads. It should be a secondary task that is run after the upload, as a background task or in a cron job. I also read the entire description of WP Smush Pro and it is still unclear whether Smush Pro truly defers the smush process until after the upload is complete. Even with “dedicated servers”, the fact that the smush might be coupled with the upload will degrade the user’s performance in the admin while uploading images.

A helpful feature would be if you made the importer idempotent — that is, the importer should detect posts that already have an identical guid and therefore skip those items to prevent duplicates in the database.

Good eye A-P, this also tripped me up for a good 30 minutes. I hope devlopez fixes that soon so others don’t get lost.

Haha, sorry if I came off as a presumptuous boob. I’m actually helping a client of mine migrate to a WordPress-powered site and they have a library of hundreds of PDFs on the old site, which is why I would love to see the Image Teleporter be able to sideload these. I hacked the plugin and made it happen, but I didn’t take the time to make my code ready for prime time. Personally, I don’t see image or PDF sideload capability as all that different in terms of nefarious potential. Anyhow, an excellent and powerful plugin, I can’t thank you enough for designing it.

@trisha, the common answer of “No” to your assumption is precisely what the Image Teleporter plugin is designed to fix. The files are NOT in justinjwilson’s possession, they all exist on the source website. The Image Teleporter “sideloads” them (copies each asset file) to the destination WordPress website. I think justinjwilson was asking if the plugin can be improved to sideload PDF files just as it already does (quite well) for image files.

I have hundreds of remotely-linked PDFs to migrate so I am also looking for this exact improvement.

Tobias, how many hours would it take you to add in Google Drive Spreadsheet integration into the automatic periodic import plugin extension? This way, Google Drive can handle the friendly data input UI for the content creators, and your plugin can translate this to your powerful TablePress output. I think thousands of users would find this incredibly useful. Can we raise the money for you?

The issue was that the plugin DOES NOT seem to work with Super Post plugin nor in the various Themify shortcodes (specific to their themes) to list posts. However, when I switched these out with shortcodes from the well-known Display Posts Shortcode plugin, then everything worked OK.

I must make a general comment about your tech support. Looking through the support forums here I’ve seen many times your practice of having customers contact you directly. I think this is a bad practice, as it hides crucial information about current problems and pitfalls with compatibility and usage of your plugin. Every effort we make to publish bugs and the efforts you make to help us fix or work around them should be public and searchable on the web to save future users much time and struggle. This problem actually affected my ability to self-diagnose this incompatibility because there is so little help about this plugin that is searchable on the web.

I have this failing even for regular posts and pages. I can sort in the admin but the front-end just sorts with default date descending as if the Advanced Post Types Order plugin isn’t even operating. I have autosort on. Help please.

I have the same problem. I am using Super Post shortcodes as well as built in Themify Featured Post shortcodes to display a list of post. I do not pass any ordering parameters. However, Advanced Post Types Order seems to be ignored. Shouldn’t you ensure this overrides any other query on the page? Please help!

OK, it is likely not the URL itself but the mime type or something associated with the headers served with the target image. media_handle_sideload() is throwing a security error.

I threw some debug code into the plugin here:

function bml_it_sideload ($file, $url, $post_id) {
	if(!empty($file)){
		/// lots of code ///

		$id = media_handle_sideload($file_array, $post_id, $desc);
		$src = $id;

		if(is_wp_error($id)) {
		   #### THIS IS TRIGGERED ####
			@unlink($file_array['tmp_name']);
			return $id;
		}

	}
	if (!empty($src)) return $src;
	else return false;
}

I’m printing out $pathparts here:
Array ( [dirname] => /tmp [basename] => TravMed4.tmp [extension] => tmp [filename] => TravMed4 )

Full URL:

and the wp_error (which is NOT displaying to the WP admin UI): Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.

It also wipes out image src URLs that look like this:

https://fairfoods.org/mar.php?u=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jb21tb253ZWFsdGhtYWdhemluZS5vcmcvRGVwYXJ0bWVudHMvU3RhdGlzdGljYWxseS1TaWduaWZpY2FudC8yMDEyL1N1bW1lci9___2BL21lZGlhL0ltYWdlcy9Db21tb253ZWFsdGggTWFnYXppbmUvMjAxMiBTdW1tZXIvVHJhdk1lZC5hc2h4P2g9Mzc1JmFtcDt3PTMwMCZhbXA7YXM9MQ___3D___3D

Yeah, similar issue with the bulk importer, and I believe the one-off importer as well.

The plugin is choking on the presence of any space in the img src URL like below:
https://www.commonwealthmagazine.org/Departments/Statistically-Significant/2012/Summer/~/media/Images/Commonwealth Magazine/2012 Summer/TravMed.ashx?h=375&w=300&as=1

When I correct the URLs before they go into the system, by replacing all spaces with %20 (like below), then the plugin still does not import properly — it actually wipes out the src attributes completely and the posts end up with dead img tags.

Any fix coming?
