Hi, thank you for the plugin. Is there a way to import the terms for each vehicle from a CSV? I have thousands of products, and I have CSVs with SKU, Make, Model, and Year. Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to help you.

This plugin comes with a built-in CSV importer tool which helps to upload thousand of models quickly and associate to WooCommerce existing products at the same time rather you keep doing it manually one by one.

If you go in admin and look for “CSV Import” sub menu under “VPF MENU”, this should help you to get what you want. Please download a sample CSV file from same page before you upload real data. It will heklp you to understand the CSV structure my importer tool supports.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi

I have excel sheet and I want to hear if it would be possible to import it and set it up/link with plugin carpartfilter, so it would not be set up through manually all car models

I have 3 different products(towbars), which in most cases are offered to all vehicles but some vehicles are not supported and its specified in the excel sheet which of the 3 types are supported or not.

Another thing when the customer have bought the item(towbar) I will need to receive the options which the customer choose “the car maker model and year” so know which fittings and towbar to sent, is this provided by the plugin?

Hi there,

Thanks for showing interest in my plugin. I would be happy to answer for your questions:

1. This plugin comes with built-in importer tool which helps to import CSV file quickly and associate to products at the same time rather you add it manually one by one. That way it saves a lot of time.

2. Currently you can associate selected vehicles to products or can make a product universal by which it will be auto assigned to all vehicles. I hope this will help what you are looking for.

3. For third point, currently there is not any option available but I will add it soon in near future. Meanwhile if you want it to work then you have to pay few additional USD’s for this custom work. Please email me at wpinstinct@gmail.com if you want to discuss further on this.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

hello, I need to keep stock synced with my invoicing software, is that possible? can i use wp all import to import vehicle parts as products and have the stock synced and in the right categories?is make / model / year woocommerce categories?

Hi there,

Thanks for showing interest in my plugin. I would be happy to help you.

1. Regarding products stock to sync with third party software, it depends on WooCommerce itself. My plugin is nothing about stocks and it just adds an option to assign Makes/Models/Years/Engines to existing WooCommerce products.

2. Many of my clients have used WP All Import for vehicles import process but I am not much famliar with this plugin BTW. You can try this plugin’s in-built importer tool as well.

3. Makes/Models/Years are not actually WooCommerce categories but uses a custom taxonomy for the purpose in same way WooCommrce does for product categories.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

I thought this plugin had Make, Model and Year but I cannot find any place to enter Model and Year – only Make.

I go to Terms – There you manage VPF Terms ( Makes / Models / Years / Engines ) – and there is only Make. No Models. No Years.

Could you please tell me the secret?

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to help you.

On VPF Terms page, please take your mouse over Make Name and you will see few quick links. From these links, look for “View Models” and click on it. This will show you a list of Models only for this particular Make. Same way hover your mouse on Model Name from next page and you will see a quick, link for “View Years”. I hope that make sense.

Please let me know if you are still unclear about the flow. I will wait for your response.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hello How can I export my CSV file with all associations to products? Kind regards

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to answer for your questions.

Regarding CSV Importer tool, first download a sample CSV file from VPF Import screen/page and ready another file in exactly same format with your live Makes/Models/Years….

Give it a try with small CSV file first ( including 3-4 rows only ) and play with it so that you can get an idea about the features and flow. Once it works fine then go ahead with complete CSV file. In case you upload same CSV file again and again, it wouldn’t duplicate already imported data and will upload new terms only from each import so don’t worry if you have to upload same CSV again and again.

Now, how it creates associations in VPF terms and WooCommerce terms, if you look into sample CSV file there is a column on fifth position called item_product. This column does the magic you are asking about. Add comma separated multiple product SKU’s there and CSV IMPORTER tool will auto assign whole row with those products. Please make sure that item_product column is always on fifth position. In case you don’t have engines to add on fouth position then simply add a header item_engine on fourth position and leave it empty for all rows.

Let me know if you have any further question for me.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

I would like to test this plugin. If it works as expect I may use it on up to 10 different sites. Here are my questions;

Will an imported CSV file update associations to products? That is, if a particular part is associated to a vehicle can this be updated with a new csv file? If now, how is that association removed. As new models come out, many existing products will fit that vehicle. How does your app handle that? Should we have in import file for each vehicle, to keep things streamlined?

If this all works out, can I get a volume discount? If youd like, we can take this offline. Email me at c.wilson@intercityweb.com to do so.

Thanks, Cody

Hi there,

Thanks for showing interest in my plugin. I would be happy to help you.

1. Currently uploading a new CSV and it doesn’t update product associations. It only adds new associations. In case if you need it then I can make it so everytime you upload a new CSV file, it will first delete all the associations and will create new associations. That way you have to make sure that your new CSV file contains all the terms everytime you upload it including previous imported terms too.

2. Currently if you upload a new CSV it doesn’t duplicate already existing terms and relations but will create new associations if it doesn’t exist.

3. CodeCanyon doesn’t allow me to provide any discount for multiple licenses and I can’t see it outside of CodeCanyon.

I have sent you an email too. Please check and let me know if you have any question.

Thanksd, WP Instinct Team

Looking to add the form to a specific section on the home page. Is there a short code or snippet of code available to do so?

Hi there , thanks for purchasing my plugin.

You should try PHP function to use VPF form shortcode:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[woo_vpf_filter]'); ?>

In shortcode you can add/remove parameter as per your requirement. You can read more about shortcode from this URL: http://wc.wpinstinct.com/documentation/#shortcode

Please let me know if it helps.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

I have three questions, 1.from where I get the csv file. 2. can I create multi forms in the same page 3. can I assign a target attribute in the form thanks

Hi there,

Thanks for showing interest in my plugin. I would be happy to answer for your questions:

1.This plugin doesn’t come with Auto Vehicles database/CSV but you can download a demo CSV file from plugin’s import page which will just help you to know the exact format of CSV file required before you import it.

2. Yes you can create any number of forms on same page.

3. I can help you in setting a target attribute but that way it wouldn’t show search results correctly? May I know the reason why and where you want to send it?

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

1.clear, do you know someone are providing it? 2.many forms, So, if I submit form1 it will not take any parameter from form2 it will be different ID for each form 3.If we have category1 and category2, I want form1 always submitted with category1 and form2 with category2, also I want to make sure the base target will be like https://site.com/shop/ Thank you Many Thanks

1. May I know that why you want to import all the vehicles and not only tghose which your website sells for? However, I think this author sells the vehicles database: https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-carparts-filter-plugin/6556524?s_rank=27 so you should contact him through his email.

2. Yes, it wouldn’t conflict with form 2 in this case so don’t worry about it :)

3. I can give it a try on your server directly but that way this plugin will no more be updateable and I would expect some extra USD’s for this work. I hope you wouldn’t mind paying for additional work. Email me at wpinstinct@gmail.com if you want to discuss this further.

Thanks!

Hello. I have about 2000 line .csv and when im trying to import it, i get a server timeout. Last time i splitted it into 20 files and imported 1 by 1. Is there any other method to import large .csv? Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to help you.

The time out issue you have mentioned is something that is related to server configuration as well. Try to increase the value of try to increase the value of max_execution_time and memory_limit and then give it one more try.

If same issue is still there then email me your website FTP and admin details on wpinstinct@gmail.com along with csv file you are trying to upload and I’ll fix it for you.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

hello! first off, great plugin! this has been perfect for a shop site i am working on. i’m wondering if there is a way, on the admin side under search terms > keyword, if that could query each attribute for the searched keyword. for example, if i search for an engine code “n55” – no results show up, even though i have multiple engines inputted that are “n55”.

also, for the product fitment tab feature – is there a way to lump engines specifically together. many models share the same engine platform and instead of selecting them one by one, it would be convenient to say for example “product X fits all N55 engines” and have the fitment page generate each matching make/model/year that includes that specific engine.

thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to help you.

1. Try to find a plugin which searches in assigned taxonomy as well while one performs a keyword search. This may help you to achieve what you want.

2. No 1 requested for Tab thing before so not sure for its possibilities. If you share your website’s FTP and admin details with me then I can give it a try.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi This attributes (make/model/year) can be set per variation on variable products (each variation of a product is compatible with specific make/model/year)?

Hi there,

Thanks for showing interest in my plugin. Its not possible to set it per variation and you can set it against a product only.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

I have a pre-purchase inquiry.

Is it possible to use data from setup product categories/tags/terms? Or must it be uploaded from a CSV file. Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for showing interest in my plugin. It’s not possible to use currently setup categories for my plugin but if you have used multi level hierarchy in categories for Makes/Models/Years then I can try to help you in clonning those in my plugin too. There it will cost you additional cost for this custom work.

Please let me know what you say about this. I will wait for your response.

Thanks, WP Insticnt Team

Hello,

when adding a car part in the WordPress, is it possible to select year range for a product like it is possible in csv upload?

For example, we have a lot of parts which are adequate for models 1998 – 2004 of a car, and we would like to be able to select all those years at once, since the rest of the fields are the same (make, model, engine).

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to help you.

Its not possible to select year ranges on product edit screen manually but why don’t you try same through CSV while you are importing year ranges.

Please download a sample CSV file from plugins’s import screen and look in at 5th column item_product which allows you to add multiple product sku’s there. That way it auto assigns same row’s year ranges to products at same time while you import VPF Terms. This helps you to get rid of assigning year ranges to product manually.

Hi there,

Please confirm if you have purchased this plugin or not yet as I don’t see PURCHASED tag with your codecanyon name. If you have purchased then please download a sample CSV file from plugins’s import screen and look in at 5th column item_product which allows you to add multiple product sku’s there. That way it auto assigns same row’s year ranges to products at same time while you import VPF Terms. This helps you to get rid of assigning year ranges to product manually.

Let me know if it helps you or do you still want a solution for manually assigning year ranges to product from product edit screen?

Hello, I’m interested in your plugin but I would like to see a demo of back end because we’re not sure if it meets all our needs. Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for showing interest in my plugin. Please share your Email ID with me so that I can provide you access of backend panel.

I noticed this plugin has been set up on another customers website at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTn3GPmIwLo

1. How do I go about adding the search query as seen at 1 minute 13 seconds. Can an “X” be added next to it to reset the search?

2. How would I go about setting up the categories as multi-selectable buttons (checkboxes?) instead of a drop down list. as seen at 1 minute 24 seconds.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing muy plugin. I would be happy to answer for your questions:

1. For search query to show in header, it requires some work in theme files. Please share your website FTP and Admin details on wpinstinct@gmail.com and I can do this for you.

2. If you check in plugin settings, there is already an option to enable a link for reset search.

3. I am not sure if its possible to have multi categories selection within my plugin but I can give it a try once you share your website details with me. In reference website they are using different plugin for categories filter.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi wpinstinct!

First of all thanks for this great plugin!

Is there a way to avoid to press the “Search” button after the user selected Make / Model and Year?

Some sort of AutoSubmit after all the selections are made?

Thanks for your time and have a great one!

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to answer your questions.

Regarding auto submission of search form, if you are good in JS then you can do it easily by writing a custom code snippet. In case if you want me to help you on this then email me your website URL on wpinstinct@gmail.com and I will provide you a small code snippet which will do the trick.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi wpinstinct!

thanks for your kind reply =)

I’m kind of allergic to Javascript I think I’ll need your help with this one.. I’ll follow up by email.

Thanks for your time and thanks again for this great plugin! The csv import function makes everything simple! =)

Thank you! I will wait for your email. Please leave 5 star ratings if you like my plugin and support.

Hello, I installed the plugin and imported the CSV sample. But in VPF terms, I only have the Make column. Why ? Is it possible to add Model or Make without going through the CSV? With the form Add a new term? I have send a mail at wpinstinct@gmail.com.

Thank you for your help.

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to help you.

While you take your mouse over Make Name and you will see few quick links. From these links, look for “View Models” and click on it. This will show you a list of Models only for this particular Make. Same way hover your mouse on Model Name from next page and you will see a quick, link for “View Years”. I hope that make sense.

Please let me know if you are still unclear about the flow. I will wait for your response.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hello,

I bought your plugin and I really like it. But there is one thing I need to change and I dont know how to.

It makes table on custom tab but only shows 35 rows, but sometimes I need it to show even more rows.

How can I achieve this please?

Thank you, Tomas Chudy

Hi there,

Thanks for purchasing my plugin. I would be happy to help you. Currently there is no limit for number of rows in custom tab so will you please share your website FTP and Amdin details with me on my Email ID wpinstinct@gmail.com so that I can check for the reason and fix it. Please don’t forgot to add a product URL for which there should be more rows so that I can test for that product.

Thans, WP Instinct Team
