 * For anyone else’s information I resolved the issue.
 * I was using `(.*)` which matches any characters that fall _after_ the specified
   partial URL.
 * As my first partial URL ended with the number 1, it meant that this redirect 
   still took hold for any other partial URLs that ended with a teen number as the
   second digit was being grabbed by the regex `(.*)`
 * Fortunately in my case all my number in my URLs had a hyphen after them so all
   I had to do was make my initial partial URL a little more specific. So I changed
   it from:
 * `/index-pag-products-cid-1(.*)`
 * to
 * `/index-pag-products-cid-1-(.*)`
 * This made sure any URLs that contain teen numbers at the end of this portion 
   are redirected where they should be…
 * Boggled my brain for a few hours. Couldn’t see the wood for the trees…

 * Got to the bottom of the duplicate issue.
 * I wasn’t creating a slug processor. I was dropping my [so]title straight into
   the [di]slug field.
 * To prevent duplicates is it vital you create a slug processor and use it’s output
   in the [di]slug field.
 * Again, great plugin guys.
 * Get some good documentation together and it would be a truly awesome plugin.

 * Awww man – that is such a shame!!
 * I have so many users to import and so many line breaks to remove.
 * For anyone else with the same issue, the only work around we have is to manipulate
   the csv in Excel and remove the line breaks using either formula or macro.
 * Details on how were in this very useful page:

 * Thanks, but unfortunately still nothing displaying for me if I use `get_the_post_thumbnail()`
 * I have got it working through using this method:
 *     ```
       <?php $attachment_id = get_field('file');
       $filethumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $attachment_id ), medium ); ?>
   
       <div class="thumb"><img src="<?php echo $filethumb[0] ?>"/></div>
       ```
   
 * `wp_get_attachment_image_src` got me everything I needed 🙂
 * Now a very happy chap!

 * Thanks very much! The snippet will be very useful. I look forward to trying it
   out.
 * I had another query on theme implementation for this plugin in another thread.
   If you have 5mins to look at it that would be great!

 * I’m also having trouble bringing this into my template file.
 * The thumbnail is created and is in the media library, but I cannot get it to 
   show. I can’t see any reference anywhere to a link between the attachment file(
   the PDF) and the thumbnail that has been created.
 * I have tried the following code in my template file: I am using the Advanced 
   Custom Fields plugin, and my custom field for the PDF is called ‘file’ hence 
   the `get_field('file');`
 *     ```
       <?php $attachment_id = get_field('file');
       $filethumb = get_post_thumbnail_id( $attachment_id ); ?>
   
       <div class="thumb"><?php the_post_thumbnail( $filethumb ); ?></div>
       ```
   
 * I have lots of other elements on the template using the `$attachment_id` and 
   it is returning the id of the PDF file (which i’m using for file names, file 
   sizes etc)
 * I’m not sure how to go about testing it as you have mentioned above. My theme
   does not have a single-attachment.php file…
 * You mention that it works as the featured image, which I have a meta box for 
   on my edit page – should the thumbnail be being displayed here?
 * This looks to be a super sweet plugin, worthy of many stars : )

 * Just realised, that reason the widget wasn’t outputting anything was **because**
   my template had been deleted – plugin appears to be work fine other than that.
 * I’ll see if I can retrieve my template from backup.
 * Many thanks

 * Thanks for the update. But since installing it, the widget now displays nothing.
 * The widget title is there, but nothing else – no post information is output at
   all.
 * Also worth noting that updating the plugin also deletes any custom widget templates
   that users may have created.

 * By the way, events have only disappeared from the calendar. They are showing 
   elsewhere on the site no problem.
 * I have checked the database and the post_id column is present and there is no
   capital letters in any of the database tables so it looks like the upgrade went
   fine.
