    Kor,

    Is this true about the social importer…? It only provides one update….

    Careful!
    Social Importer is not a tool to scrape Facebook and Yelp and cannot create bulk imports. Once you have input your URL you get a one-time import. There is no systematic update.
    as shown at the bottom of this page? https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/social-importer/

    Hi,

    it just grabs the data so you don’t have to type it in.

    That’s it.

    Thanks

    Paolo,

    so it just pre-populates the fields on the add listing page…? If so, does it fill in all of the fields or just certain ones…? Please elaborate more.

    Thank you,
    Robert

    When you import a listing, the addon will grab any and all information that it can for basic fields like title, description, location, or dates for events. There are items that are excluded based on the platform and page type. Each platform lends itself to different opportunities, and we plan to update documentation for the scraper functionality after V2 is released to wordpress.org. The scraper feature is uniquely subject to issues due to updates on the platform, updates which often require us to make updates to the plugin. We rely on our members to report issues like that so we can make updates as needed. If you run into an issue with addon in the meantime please do report it in a new topic in the forum.
