Download ECI 6.1.9
To download the latest version you must go to http://www.webtechglobal.co.uk/wordpress-easy-csv-importer/ and click on the Google +1 button! Only joking, but it is appreciated if you do this. To support the plugin is to help yourself get a better CSV importer and service in future.
The latest version has vital changes to updating. The post updating was changed to be a little more automated and active from installation of the plugin. This turned out to be a bad approach especially how WordPress saves endless revisions! I’ll create a tool to keep the database tidy.
Another change is new icons that link to pages on the WebTechGlobal blog. Most of the pages are blank, I created them simply to prepare the interface. Late this month I will be adding content to all of the pages and by July hopefully there is far more help available through a quick Google search.
Yes, those WP auto-save revisions are a nuisance, and clutter the database when you’re trying to investigate things!
For those who were not aware, stop all of those auto-revisions by placing these two lines in your wp-config.php:
define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false);
define(‘AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL’, 3600);
Put those two lines just before this line that’s already in the file at the bottom:
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Happy ECI importing.
Nice tip and a reminder. I’ve been meaning to look into adding these to the plugin, providing there is a hook to define them again after WordPress defines them. Will do it now. Failing the ability to add them as settings the advice will need to do. I’ll put key information like this on the integration page.
Spent half an hour trying to change the values within Easy CSV Importer but it does not work. I tried the init hook and hooks regarding post edit or opening posts. None appear to change the values so it looks like people will need to do it the code way.
Good to know! That should be good enough for now.
What about inserting “description” for categories, was that included with this update?
Working on this right now, BETA 6.2.0 will bring it and it should work fine however it is just a beta. Hoping to release that version in the next 24 hours.
Awesome Ryan.. Im ready to test it when its available and provide analysis. Though it still says access not granted on this account for the dl section.
Great. Yes I’ve been working on it still. The whole WordPress level thing is the problem, I’m about to make more changes and hopefully get it sorted today before I release a new version.
