 * Hi [@imagely](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imagely/)
 * Not what I wanted to hear! But thank you anyway for a very clear and prompt response;
   I’ve at least discovered that I can import multiple folders, at the same time,
   as galleries, which helps.
 * Regards
    Pete

 * Hi [@psykro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psykro/)
 * Thanks for that – even if it just confirmed that there isn’t a ready-made solution
   to my problem.
 * I’ll go away & think what best to do next
 * Thanks again

 * Hi [@webtoffee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webtoffee/)
 * Thank you! I thought it must be a caching issue, but thought clearing the server
   cache was enough; I was wrong, a Litespeed plugin on the site also needed clearing.
   Problem solved, new cookie notice in place, complete with edits. Brilliant.
 * 5 star review to follow . . .

 * Update 2
 * It seems as though I only get the correct settings if I view the site while logged
   in to WordPress; I thought everything was working OK, and the notice was appearing
   as shown [here](https://imgur.com/a/pr8S9Vn) – but when I tried a couple of different
   computers, and asked another user, it was still showing the notice with the CCPA
   option. Which makes me wonder where it’s picking up that setting from – when 
   I deleted it, I looked in cPanel File Manager, and there was no plugin folder
   left to contain any settings.
 * Turning the message off doesn’t seem to affect it, nor disabling the plugin, 
   so I’ve deleted it again.

 * Update – I have been ‘playing’ with the plugin on a staging site, test.rileyrmclub.
   org.uk. There, changes to settings _are_ having an effect, but strangely if I
   check the same site in a Private Browsing window I still get the default settings.
   
   I haven’t dared enable the CCPA option on that site . . .

 * Hi [@vijayhardaha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vijayhardaha/) – thanks
   again, but that doesn’t seem to cover it. Internet connectivity is fine, and 
   there are no problems with REST API.
 * The strange thing with this is that the updates are _not_ in fact failing, despite
   the error; I was hoping that this aspect of the issue might point the way to 
   the cause.
 * Thanks again

 * Hi [@vijayhardaha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vijayhardaha/) – many 
   thanks for your reply. I had a look in the error log – there have only been three
   entries this year, the last one this morning saying:
    _PHP Warning: openssl\_decrypt():
   IV passed is only 12 bytes long, cipher expects an IV of precisely 16 bytes, 
   padding with \0 in /home/acefdbfs/public\_html/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/
   inc/class-sb-instagram-data-encryption.php on line 100_
 * However, since I get the update ‘error’ every time I update a plugin, & there
   don’t appear to be any other connectivity issues, I’m not sure it’s that.

 * Oh, good grief – I don’t know how I missed the email alert about this.
 * Many thanks for the helpful response; I had seen that resource, but assumed that
   for our purposes the url would have to be external as in https:// etc etc. Obviously
   not.
 * Thanks again

 * Hi [@sebet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebet/)
 * That’s great, thank you. I’ll experiment with setting the value of N to 0, since
   I can’t predict where a space will need to occur in a phone number as entered
   by people in different countries etc, so I just need to ensure the whole cell
   gets treated as text.

 * All done. Thank you.
 * In fact, I had to rename the premium folder to allow me to re-install that version,
   after I’d de-activated the free one.
 * Maybe include the bit about deactivation in the instructions email for the benefit
   of idiots like me?
 * All the best

 * Hi again
 * Ooops! I was joking, but when activating the Pro version I get:
 * _Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wse\_fs() (previously declared in *****/public\
   _html/wp-content/plugins/wp-smart-export/wp-smart-export.php:21) in *****/public\
   _html/wp-content/plugins/wp-smart-export-premium/wp-smart-export.php on line 
   22_
 * I would just uninstall & start from scratch but I spent a while setting up a 
   profile with the free version & I’d rather not lose that.
 * Cheers

 * Hi [@sebet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebet/)
 * Many thanks – that’s perfectly clear, & I’ve now upgraded. What I can’t understand
   is why this excellent plugin isn’t more widely downloaded & used – the free version
   does more than many other better known ones; maybe when I start using the Pro
   version it’ll all go horribly wrong . . .
 * You might like to know the website throws up a certfificate error, btw
 * All the best

 * Hi [@carazo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carazo/)
 * Many thanks for your reply. Just being able to choose from the list of available
   fields would be ideal – and would I hope suit [@hannahjw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hannahjw/)
   as well.
 * It would also help if the columns in the exported csv were in alphabetical order.
