 * Hi,
    Im trying to do import as per your inspect guide. All I get is a list of
   usernames who submitted the review, everything else is empty, including approx
   date. When I click Import I get no reviews imported. Running v 3.36 of the plugin.
   Thanks for help

 * [@lajoshek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lajoshek/) There have been a 
   few changes to the structure of Google reviews recently so it may not recognise
   the various elements.
 * Please can you drop me an email to wordpress dash plugins at designextreme dot
   com with the HTML in a text file attachment?
 * When I have this, I can test the process with this version and create an update
   to the plugin that will support this without the gaps in data.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * I have used the Advanced Html Import, pulled all my google reviews and setup 
   my synchronization to run daily. So that part is working as expected. Today, 
   there were 3 new google reviews added but I don’t know if the API will automatically
   sync it up at a certain time each day or do I need to do the manual HTML import
   every time I have new reviews?
 * Thank you so much for this great plugin!

 * [@webgigabyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webgigabyte/) This is slightly
   different to the query here because your HTML Import is working correctly.
 * The data from the HTML Import is of a slightly lower quality due to the relate
   time description rather than an actual timestamp. So, if the Places API provides
   new information that matches an existing record, then this will be applied in
   its place.
 * Just leave the automated Places API data retrieval set as the update frequency
   you have (Daily) and very occasionally check with the HTML Import to see what
   reviews may have been missed (these are new, but not regarded as “relevant”).
 * [@lajoshek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lajoshek/) I await your email
   or a reply.

 * [@designextreme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) thanks for
   your reply. It still didn’t reload the new google reviews. I have to manually
   redo the import process on the Advanced tab to pick up new google reviews even
   with the Daily Sync setup.

 * [@webgigabyte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webgigabyte/) The Places API
   will only ever deliver the most _relevant_ reviews according to your language.
   This is not the same as the _newest_.
 * If you would really like for a complete and current set of reviews, you may need
   to use the HTML Import more frequently. However, this isn’t something that I 
   believe most people will need to do – even if new reviews are appearing each 
   day. The reviews on your site, if sorted by relevance, will closely match the
   reviews showing in Google for the same language.
 * Unfortunately, this is a slight limitation of the Places API and functionality
   doesn’t currently exist to request only the newest reviews.

 * [@lajoshek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lajoshek/) OK, that’s good. If
   you do experience the same issue again, please drop me an email with the HTML.
   Thanks!
