• There is clearly a LOT of work gone into this plugin… but the time needed to figure it out is too much… already I’ve spent hours and I ended up deleting it. Simplifying it and making more intuitive would go a long way in making more user-friendly because at the moment its way too complicated.

    Hi

    Thank you for your feedback but this plugin cannot be simplified very much. It is designed the way it is to suit a specific user, mainly developers.

    There are other plugins for beginners on the market including Easy CSV Importer which we also provide. That plugin tries to deliver some of the power and ability CSV 2 POST has without a complex interface.

    The most advanced software cannot have simple interfaces or make guesses. Which means CSV 2 POST requires a lot of input from the user. There is constant “chicken and egg” situations in the code which requires even more settings to tell the plugin how YOU want it to behave.

    Most other importers automatically do what the average user wants with some assumptions and guessing. It does avoid the complexity but is not suitable webmasters who want to make money online or have unusual requirements in their project. That requires full control over WordPress so that auto-blogging is not easily detected by visitors.

    Hello

    Six months ago you rated CSV 2 POST with a single star. The plugin has had weeks of work since and I’d really appreciate ten minutes of your time to install the plugin then re-review.

    There are video and help icons on some of the features. More to be added soon. There is help text in the WordPress Help tab also. The interface looks and feels more WordPress.

    Thank you for your time. A discount on the premium edition will be available in return for any time spent on this.

    Regards
    Ryan Bayne
