Thank you! I look forward to the patch!

Thank you!! You guys are amazing.

Ah. Thank you for this (quick!!) info. I’ve been trying to find a way to do this, and perhaps it’s just not possible. Right now I’m able to get what I need with the following URL structure: https://example.com/module/module_test/?post_type=activity.

I don’t love having the custom post type passed as a URL variable, but perhaps that the best I can do. . .

Thank you!!

Has there been any resolution to this? BCC is also not working for me.

We have run a scan with neither of these options checked, and we’re having the same issue (email and scan monitor displays errors but there are no New Issues listed. Are there any other options that could be interfering?

Hi,

First, I’m very sorry for taking so long to get back to you – for some reason I haven’t been seeing messages from www.remarpro.com when new posts show up here.

As for your issue, I’m wondering if after adding new custom fields to your list to output you clicked the “Save Changes” button before running the export again? I know this isn’t very intuitive, and I tried to make it clear in the instructions. But I think it’s still confusing for a lot of people (and I hope to update the plugin in the future so that it’s not necessary).

If you did click “Save Changes” and those additional fields still aren’t inputting, please let me know. That’s definitely a sign that something is wrong.

Just wanted to let you know that I fixed a (quite stupid) bug in the plugin that was restricting the number of posts that could be downloaded. It should download all of them now.

I’m still trying to reproduce the issue you were having, however, with it not exporting all of the selected custom fields.

Hey,

I’m really sorry that the plugin did not work for you. I would be interested to see if I could replicate the issue you’re having — IF that’s something you’re interested in. (If you’ve moved on and found another solution, I totally understand).

In any case, if you’d be willing to work with me to try and figure out the issue, drop me a note here and we can be in touch.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Fixing the export interface and implementing AJAX to do the custom field population on the fly after a user chooses a post type is definitely a future goal. I started trying to accomplish it this time, but since I was on a deadline myself to get *something* that worked, I decided to go with the klugey workaround it uses now. ?? Definitely not ideal.

And, after I released it it dawned on me that having an option to put Post Title in was kind of a no-brainer. It actually wan’t a requirement for the project I’m working on right now, but it will be for another one that’s coming up, so that will definitely get added as well.

In any case, thanks so much for the feedback. This is my first plugin, and it helps a lot to know that someone is using it and willing to share their experience!

I had a similar problem using this plugin with another plugin that uses shortcodes. Basically, if you nest another shortcode within the columns shortcodes, it doesn’t get processed.

I did a bit of digging, and I discovered that this shortcode doesn’t seem to process the content through the do_shortcode function after processing it with its own changes. I added a single line to the plugin file, and it worked.

Look for this in columns.php:

$content = str_replace( 'class="column column-number-' . $count, 'class="column column-number-' . $count . ' last', $content );

and add the following directly after:

$content = do_shortcode( $content );

This was a quick and dirty fix for me — hopefully it helps someone else. Remember, this is a change to the core plugin code, so if the plugin is updated (without this fix), you run the risk of losing the change.

Christian,

Thanks so much for the feedback. I think I might also be able to write the function to run wp_autop() on incoming syndicated post — there is a hook in the syndication plugin for processing incoming content, so that might work.

But this definitely gives me some ideas of where to start looking.

Best,
Martha

Hi Christian,

My apologies for not responding to your response sooner! I left it right before leaving on winter break, and only just now saw your response.

The site can be found at https://oliproposals.umwblogs.org and a specific example of a post that isn’t working properly with CommentPress can be seen at https://oliproposals.umwblogs.org/2012/07/16/econ-201-principles-of-macroeconomics/.

I’m not familiar with wp_autop(). I assume it runs upon post save/update? Since these posts are syndicated, they aren’t created through the editor — they’re just added directly to the database upon syndication. Could this be the reason why they CP isn’t working with them?

In the case of older, existing posts, however, I have gone in and edited the posts in order to see if updating them triggers whatever needs to happen. In those cases, CP still doesn’t work.

Never mind. I figured it out. I was capitalizing the role name and it needs to be all lower case. You’d think I’d have noticed. . .

I am also really interested in this — has anyone figured this out?
