Also the Appearance > Widgets page is not working for me. I cannot drag or click on any of the widgets, so I cannot build sidebars. Is anyone else with the The Next theme experiencing this?
And I appreciate that you also took the initiative of adding that second feature, to automatically create the category if it does not exist. Honestly, that is the way it should work. I’ve already made my categories at this point (by using that plugin I alluded to), but I’m sure others will appreciate this improvement.
Not to give you guys a hard time or anything, but even Shaon mistakenly said category-slug rather than category ID in this post. It just seems so intuitive to use category name or category-slug rather than category ID. And I’ve noticed this issue brought up elsewhere in the forum. I’ve got tons of categories (that I imported using a bulk-category-import plug-in recommended to me by Shaon), all with totally random category IDs. I really can’t move forward until this issue is fixed.
Just gave feedback, and gave 5 stars (under account joelgyancey)!
I’m glad that this will be updated for Advanced CSV Importer. Any idea when the update will be released? And in the meantime, is there any workaround? Or can you direct me to the correct place in the php file?
I second this completely. I spent hours upon hours dealing with simple issues that arise from trying to import a slightly complex directory structure containing many files. On the bright side, it forced me to learn Automator for mac, then eventually how to use AppleScript. Plus I had to download and learn to use lots of specialty software like Path Finder and File List Export. I’m finally on the cusp of getting my slightly complex and large file hierarchy onto my site.
Overall, still great software, probably the best out there. But it would be nice to have a plug-in that alleviates the subdirectory sickness.
Edit: a lot of the difficulty comes from creating categories in WP that correspond to the hierarchy of directories. If you’re facing the same difficulties as I did (having a slightly complex and large hierarchy of directories), here’s a few things that I learned:
1. The bulk-term-generator plug-in (not a WPDM plug-in) is very useful for batch importing custom categories and building the taxonomy (Shaon was a life saver for recommending this to me!). It won’t cut out all the work, but it helps.
2. For Mac users: File List Export ($5 on the Mac App Store) is an easy way to get a list of all files contained recursively within a directory.
3. For Mac users: This took me forever to figure out, and the issue has been mentioned in passing elsewhere on this forum. If you are using MS Excel 2011 (that’s what I have, not sure if this applies to other versions) to create a CSV, you must do the following to properly ‘Save As’ CSV…
You must Save As ‘Windows Comma Separated (.csv)’, NOT as Comma Separated Values (.csv).
