In reply to: Too many poststPerhaps the plugin support could best advise if you merely need more memory allocated, or if there is a need to categorise in a more granular way so there are fewer posts for each category, to add additional taxonomies to help ease the database queries.
I am not sure that I have explained myself. I cannot see how the categories have any relevance. The updates are done on a per post basis without referencevto categories at all.
To be fair to the authors, I cannot see that they should support a user who is not paying, but equally, there is no point me paying for something that in principle is not going to work.
Which is why I come back again to generalising the question. If te approach taken by wpallimport is a standard and obvious way then moving to a different plug in is likely to have the same difficulty.

In reply to: Too many poststThank you:
wp all importI suspect however that it is a matter of principle. If I am right then a similar aapproach is liable to be taken by other plugins tackling the same task.
I cannot imagine someone wanting to redo an entire plugin just for me. It may be that I need an entirely different approach. To get a starting point I need to understand better where the problem may be.
I confirm that I have double checked the update file links and the post links and cannot identify any change – but I still go the messages

In reply to: Permalinks error using post name?Again, then.
I have repeated the exercise with simple posts, posting the name, and get consistent errors when I use just the wordpress software itself.
Where the post title includes an unescaped ampersand followed by a later semicolon, the permalink created excludes all text between the said two characters.
Any offers?

In reply to: Permalinks error using post name?Retract this a bit.
I have tried this again with only variable results – sometimes it goes wrong and sometimes not. There is definitely something iffy, but the above does not quite get it right.

In reply to: How Many PostsThank you. It is the ‘other’ I need to consider.
I have an existing site but it has to move and to move on. It is all custom built code, and I have little desire to re-invent the wheel a second time.
Is there an obvious wordpress site with similar or substantially more postings?

In reply to: Creating Forms with WordPressThank you.
I had already checked that it looked good and mentioned allowing Ajax (I’ll learn anything), but there is nothing that I have found in the documentation to suggest that or how it actually might be used.
I suppose I am asking how to integrate within WP a system where a form is created (easy-ish) which transmits the information collect to an external/internal php script which does the various calculations (easy) and returns the resulting values to a page within a wordpress system? It is possibly the last bit which is the real issue.
I am tearing my hair out when trying to find my way around the WP documentation.
I do appreciate that I have to do nearly all of this myself, but a pointer to somewhere which explains the basics would give me something to go on.
