No transfers taking place since 1.0 Beta

We’ve been gratefully using this plugin since it was first released. But since the update this week, the Drive documents no longer transfer from the designated origin folder. We’re connected to the App fine, and the folder IDs are correct on the Docs to WP settings page. Updated the main plug-in, which seems to have also updated the other three separate plug-ins listed on our plug-in admin page to 1.0 Beta — “Docs to WordPress extender – clean content, strip comments,” “Docs to WordPress extender – Headline delimiter” and “Docs to WordPress extender – Run on Cron (every minute)”

Checked and there is no “DEFINE disable cron” statement in our wp-config.php file, so I’m not sure why nothing’s moving, and any hints about troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Also, separate issue: Activating the Docs to WP plug-in also seems to break some of the Ajax features of other plug-ins on the admin side, specifically of an Event Calendar Pro date-picker and the Authors Plus multiple author chooser; wondering if there’s a jquery conflict happening somewhere, but again any hints about troubleshooting appreciated.

Thanks,
Roger

It would only affect it if you placed the cron file in that location. Also, if you did, it wouldn’t work anyway as I’d written it.

It needs to be place in the same folder as wp-load.php, so it can grab ALL THE WORDPRESS THINGS without loading the actual wordpress. To verify that it’s working, add echo "It works"; as the very last line of the cron file, and see if it loads when you visit the cron file in your browser.

No, the cron file is in the WP root, and the browser shows the “It works” echo. Going to remove and reinstall the plugin.

Removing and reinstalling seems to have worked. We are transferring documents again! @anubisthejackle — thanks for sticking with this.

The ajax issue seems to also have gone away.

However, it doesn’t seem to be transferring character attributes (bold, italic, etc.) to WP, and it’s also not picking up categories or authors the way it used to (matching GD folders with WP categories and authors whose Google email before the @ sign matches their WP username, etc.) — a few of the excellent reasons to give up copying and pasting for Docs to WP in the first place. correct h1-5, li and p formatting is coming through.

It’s possible that I will fix those with my dot update this weekend. I’ll try to get that out ASAP. Hopefully tonight, or early tomorrow. If not early tomorrow it’ll be sunday, as I’ll be celebrating my birthday later in the day Saturday.

Glad to hear you’re back up and running, even if it’s only at a hobbled state, currently.

Re: the folders, I came into this project late in the game (read: a couple weeks ago) and never actually saw the previous versions up and running. Did they navigate into sub-folders? This current version doesn’t, but it’s on my to-do list.

Hey thank you again very much.

We use a simple folder structure (Future, Edit, Print, Images) on Drive for our print workflow. So we don’t add docs to the category-matching folders until they’re ready to go to WP (and those folders are all contained in a top-level folder called “Categories”).

So I guess the answer to the question about subfolders is yes (since all the category names are subfolders of the “Category” folder). If you meant folders on the WordPress side, it doesn’t seem to matter if the folder is a child or parent as long as the name is an exact match for the folder in GD. Hope that helps. And happy birthday.

I’ll make that a priority for the next release than.
