You may try pods, or Caldera forms. with Caldera forms you can build impressive forms allowing visitors to submit data without logging in. pods is more flexible and powerful but users need to register for an account before submitting data. * with pods you may set up a custom post type and set the default status to draft. thus in the admin panel the admin can change the status to publish so the data will be visible. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Why I am not able to import any .XML file?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-i-am-not-able-to-import-any-xml-file/) * [VisualData](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visualdata/) * (@visualdata) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-i-am-not-able-to-import-any-xml-file/#post-6490226) * HI there, * The xml seems to be a collection of photos and formatted differently from normal pages. could you try importing again? this time choose “update pages” rather than create new. please scroll down in step 3 and look for something meaningful in English, drag the element and drop to the title and content area. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How do I find the meta key name?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-find-the-meta-key-name/) * [VisualData](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visualdata/) * (@visualdata) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-find-the-meta-key-name/#post-6452190) * Hi there, * do you have access to the control panel of the hosting server? if yes, you may use a database tool such as phpmyadmin to check for meta keys in table. meta keys of custom post types are located in a table called wp_postmeta. * best regards. * Oliver * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to show different content on different user profiles](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-different-content-on-different-user-profiles/) * [VisualData](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visualdata/) * (@visualdata) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-different-content-on-different-user-profiles/#post-6440757) * Hi, * what plugin do you use for the review? you may check with the plugin author and see whether a feature of checking user role has been included, or can be added. * If you are comfortable with php code, you can write a function to obtain current user role before applying the review short code, save in your functions.php file under your theme folder, and hook to one of the action hooks in edit_user.php which is located under wp-admin folder of wordpress installation. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Customer form and login](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customer-form-and-login/) * [VisualData](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visualdata/) * (@visualdata) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customer-form-and-login/#post-6465388) * Hi Derek, * You may consider using an ecommerce plugin such as WooCommerce to handle customer registration. WooCommerce has a big user base and many add-on plugins available, highly customizable to suit your needs. customers can edit their account information after logging in. * as for security, you may use a ssl certificate to encrypt password during transmission. * There are a few plugins that can add custom fields at woocommerce registration page. I have recently released a plugin [custom fields for woo customers ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-fields-for-woo-customers/). The free version provides basic features and allows you to add custom text fields at customer registration, checkout and user profile page at the back end. You may use a custom login form template and css to control the display of the added fields. * as for the file upload, you may consider another plugin pods. it takes some time to learn pods but once you know how it works, pods can help you to do a lot without coding. for example you can create a custom post type with custom fields to store the uploaded file and other information, set permission to the fields, and use a short code to generate a form on account page. when customers log in, the form will display for your customers to upload files. * You will probably need to write a custom function to trigger the email after file uploaded. * I hope the above helps you in your project. * best regards. * Oliver * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unknown column 'EMAIL' in 'field list'](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unknown-column-email-in-field-list/) * [VisualData](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visualdata/) * (@visualdata) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unknown-column-email-in-field-list/#post-6440186) * HI there, * have you found a solution to this problem yet?

If a query takes too long to run, or too much memory, or too much cpu power, the shared hosting server may kill the process. * You may try WP All Import and reduce the number of records per iteration until the script can run. some users have reported success on shared servers using WP all import. WP All import breaks up big files into smaller ones to speed up the import process. it is worth trying. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[CIO Custom Fields Importer] Great for Importing Our Data Feed for Pods ACTs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-for-importing-our-data-feed-for-pods-acts/) * Plugin Author [VisualData](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visualdata/) * (@visualdata) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-for-importing-our-data-feed-for-pods-acts/#post-7999894) * Thank you Jason for your encouraging words.

You may first retrieve the slug of the page, and produce a table specific to this page using a “if” statement or “switch” statement. * If you have many items or you want to add new items (for example posts) frequently in the future sharing the same template, then storing TablePress short codes in custom fields may be a better alternative.
