This has come up multiple times as noted. I believe its theme compatibility and not the plugin.

Using the plugin for 15000 individuals is not practical. It was meant for a few hundred to a few thousand (<4000?)

Can you send me a copy of the file you are trying to import?

Also, what version of RP are you running?

foxsch, thanks for your consideration.

I feel like I did when my friend Tom asked me if he could date the girl I had just broken up with – appreciative of the consideration, understanding that I couldn’t stop him, reluctant none the less.

Rootspersona is not abandoned. Some might know I am also the developer of Evidentia, a commercial product for genealogist. My focus for the last two years has been on developing the next version of Evidentia. For that reason Rootspersona has not been feeling the love. I have managed to keep it updated as each new WordPress release has come out, as well as when PHP 7x became the standard, but little else.

I have a vision for Rootspersona 4, and even hired a freelancer to develop a new theme for it, started rebuilding the importer, but I had taken on too much and had to table it. My plan was/is to go freemium – a free version better but similar to what is available today (but improved, with some new features), and a Premium/licensed version with more advanced functionality.

But back to your question.

1) The current version of Evidentia is open source. That means anyone can fork it and develop it.
2) I have not had anyone to help maintain it in its 7+ years. I would welcome the help if a good developer is interested. We would have to work out what that meant if/when it went freemium. I am open to discussion on that.
3) I would LOVE to help some help fleshing out the website with help guides, examples, and even articles, whether someone is helping with the code or not.
3) My current “plan” is to have the next version of Evidentia out by Feb, give it a month or two to settle, then start working on Rootspersona4 again.
4) Whatever happens, in the short/medium term I will continue to keep Rootspersona running as new versions of WP are released, at LEAST for the next 2 years.

1) Not really an import, you can attach them from the media library
2) there are no Rootspersona specific themes.

The current version works with 5.x, it’s just not Gutenberg aware.

Its not looking like v4 will be this year unfortunately as I have another more pressing project.

Not sure where the breakdown is. I would make sure the System of Record box is checked and edit the person directly rather than depending on the import of GEDCOM.

I have confirmed that the plugin works fine with the latest version of WordPress. I suspect either your old version of PHP (what version?) a theme conflict, or a plugin conflict.

You can try disabling plugins or using a different theme to see where the conflict is.

Can you tell me:

Version of Rootspersona
Version of WordPress
What theme you are using
Which screen the button is missing from

CSV is hard because there are so many repeating and nested fields in the GEDCOM

Regular WordPress search works for me.

I have a plugin, Cemeteriat, for managing small cemeteries. In that plugin I did something with google maps to map the location of grave sites. Are you talking about something like that? I could send you the code…

I need to see more of the stack trace

It WILL work on multisite installations but you can’t network activate – you have to activate the plugin for each site.

Note sure why yet

HAven’t had a chance to test it yet. Let me know how it works for you?!

There is no date sorting in the current version, which is why the show in the order entered.

Not sure why the doubling of Facts. The first thing to determine is if they are in the database twice.
