 * How was this resolved? Did it just take some time for the credential/client to
   be recognized? I see in the Google Cloud interface that it may take 5 minutes
   to a few hours for a client to be available.

 * We’re using an older theme which does not have a “Theme Options” menu item, so
   that option won’t work for us. We’re not seeing the IP address thing that was
   mentioned earlier, either, so that code hack is a no-go. I have one laptop that
   displays the calendar fine, but another that doesn’t — I think it is indeed a
   plugin caching issue. The CSS file is not on the web server, but some client 
   browsers have the file cached so they’re ok for now…
 * I’ll file a ticket with the plugin developers until we can get a copy of the 
   CSS manually saved into that plugin cache folder (another hack).

 * I’ll add, too, that we were only able to get the PHP limits increased by adding
   directives to the .htaccess file. wp-config.php and even php.ini didn’t seem 
   to honor those settings. This is what we added to .htaccess:
 *     ```
       php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
       php_value post_max_size 512M
       php_value max_execution_time 300
       php_value max_input_time 300
       php_value memory_limit 256M
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps.

 * I’ve experienced the same stalling you’re seeing with the plugin (both free and
   premium versions), as well as the % bar going well over 100% by the time it finishes.
   I’ve run through a migration three times and each time had to resume it at least
   20-30 times for it to finally finish.
 * This is a major pain, no doubt about it, but I’ve not noticed any duplication
   of records and the plugin seem to bring over everything it says it will. I, too,
   reached out to the plugin author and didn’t get much help about the issue – but
   he was responsive at least. What I did was run the import and tail the progress
   log directly since the UI log window doesn’t update:
 * `tail -F wp-content/uploads/fgm2wcp-progress.json`
 * I essentially waited at least 5 minutes before figuring the process stalled, 
   then I reloaded the plugin page and resumed again. Rinse/lather/repeat… for as
   long as it takes for the plugin to complete the migration. It seems to progress
   about 5% each time, at least for the migration I did.
 * If I had lots of time on my hands, I’d put a lot more logging in place so there’s
   a sense for where the plugin just gives up, times out, or whatever. It’s gotta
   be something that can be mitigated in some way.
 * For all its failings, this plugin did save us hundreds of hours of work manually
   copying almost 500 products from old site to new. I looked at other plugins but
   they don’t seem to have anywhere near the breadth this one does. I just hope 
   it can be strengthened in the weeks/months to come, so it can literally be a 
   one/few-click progress, not 20-30 times that.

 * Ran two more times, and it’s up to 1656. At this rate I’ll have to run it as 
   many as 35 more times. ugh… I’m gonna try and put some log statements in the 
   code and see where it’s bombing.

 * Keeping an eye on /wp-content/uploads/fgm2wcp-progress.json, I can see that the
   total is 5883 and the “current” value increments in small amounts (anywhere from
   10-30) every several seconds to few minutes, then eventually just stops updating.
   I’ve run the process four times so far, and it’s only up to 1351.
 * I’m just hoping to figure out what’s stalling the process so much.

 * I’d recommend this change instead to line 50, to preserve SQL injection protection:
 * `$qstr = $wpdb->_real_escape($_GET["s"]);`
 * Tested with WordPress 4.9.8 running on PHP 5.6.

 * I resolved this myself by adding the option manually to the wp_options table.
   Once I did that, searches included the meta fields I added. This is a fabulous,
   simple plugin, but I’m afraid for its future if it’s not getting any love from
   its developer(s).
 *     ```
       INSERT INTO wp_db.wp_options (option_id, option_name, option_value, autoload)
       VALUES (NULL, 'iusib_meta_fields', 'business_name,business_dba', 'no');

 * Changing the slug to something else, saving, then back to “events” fixed it for
   me as well.

 * It’s weird, after some time the problem with the several “illegal string” messages
   just goes away. Maybe this is caused by Instagram and their API servers? There
   must be an error response coming back from Instagram that the Alpine PhotoTile
   code isn’t handling.

 * I have the same problem. I’m guessing it’s related to caching, because this seems
   to happen each time I make a change to the page content. Doesn’t happen when 
   updating CSS, only the content itself.

   some other requirements that the Groups plugin wasn’t really going to help solve.
