Hello, you made for me a special version of your vehicle parts finder on which I can fix the make as default.

I have now 1 problem and questions:

Problem The vehicle parts finder works if I show the page when I am logged in as administrator in backend and view the page but it doesn’t in page normal online still. I think there is a problem with the cache swift performance lite but it does not help If I disable cache for the pages using the vehicle parts finder. I also can not test on my stage version because there I can see my pages in frontend only if I am logged in as administrator.

the pages who do not work with the vehicle parts finder are https://www.jay-parts.com/shop/w-standard/ (this page is disabled in cache) https://www.jay-parts.com/shop/demon/ also english version (I use WPML) https://www.jay-parts.com/en/shop/w-standard/ https://www.jay-parts.com/en/shop/demon/ You can chose the brand and than it runs and runs and swith back to the default form.

Question1 Is ist possible to delete all entries on backend FTP ore SQL code if I have to set it new for all products? I can not believe that I should delete each entry in each product.

Question 2 Is it possible that I change to the new version of your plugin to use the category filter too? If I do, do I lose my fixed default_make? Or is it possible in this version to fix the category?

Kind regards Uschi

Hi Uschi,

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

1. As I can see, it resets brand back to first one after every selection and that’s not how it is supposed to work. Please provide me your website’s FTP and Admin details so that I can check for the reason and fix it. You can send me these details at wpinstinct@gmail.com

2. You can delete all entries by clicking on “Delete All Terms” button while you are on VPF terms list page in backend.

3. I think your customized plugin also has category filter and you just need to enable it through Shortcode/Widget. I will check for it once you share your website details with me.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

I need to upload a large amount of product items to my product pages is there a faster way to do that then in the selection process through manually selecting each year make model and engine selection in the section provided on my specific product page one at a time.

Hi there,

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

You can upload terms in bulk using CSV Importer from plugin menu in backend. While you go to terms import screen, you will find a link to download sample CSV file. Ready your CSV file in same format and upload it.

In same CSV file, you will find fifth column ‘item_product’ where you can add comma separated multiple product SKU’s which will auto assign whole row based terms to those matching products.

Give it a try with 3-4 rows first before you import a complete CSV file. Once everything seems to work fine, only then go with full list of terms.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hello, is this plug in able to import information from aces & pies data files? It mentions you can upload but I am in the very early stages of learning about aces & pies and not sure if that is something different.

thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest in my plugin. I would be happy to assist you.

I am not aware with the format of aces & pies data files but can say that you have to change it to my plugin based CSV format in order to let it work.

If you can provide me a sample CSV file at wpinstinct@gmail.com then I can tell you about the possibilities.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hello, my client needs this to be Make, Model, THEN year. Instead of year, make, model. Can your plugin accommodate filter to be rearranged in this order?

Hi there,

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

I already have another plugin which comes with the order your client wants: https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-vehicle-parts-finder-makemodelyear/13458497

You can request a refund for your current purchase through this URL: https://codecanyon.net/refund_requests/new and at the same time can purchase my above plugin. However you have to re-configure data/settings while you are setting up new plugin.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest in my plugin. I would be happy to assist you.

1. You should check my another plugin which comes with same order you need: https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-vehicle-parts-finder-makemodelyear/13458497

2. Do you want all search results to come from a specific category always or can have different category on different pages? It would require some custom work but possible at the end.

Contact me at wpinstinct@gmail.com if you want to discuss the cost for this custom work.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hello – Do you have a feature to auto populate the next selection with the VPF? Please see carid.com’s home page etc year, make, model for the example.

Thank you!

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest in my plugin. I would be happy to assist you.

This plugin doesn’t auto populate next dropdown but if you purchase this plugin and provide me your website’s FTP and Admin details at wpinstinct@gmail.com then I can do it for you.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi I like to know that is there a limit to add year make model on specific product ? like example is this i added many Year make models and updated the product then i again added more year make models in it, it replaced the previous ones i added . i am facing this issue please advise…

Hi there,

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

There is no such limit to add terms but if it happens for you, then please check the value of max_input_vars on your hosting server configuration. Its value normally remains 999 so change it to higher one ( eg: 5000 ) and see if it helps. You can request your hosting support for this if you don’t know about how to increase it.

If it still doesn’t work then please provide your website’s FTP and Admin details at wpinstnict@gmail.com so that I can check for the reason and fix it.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi

I have just purchased the plugin and as discussed previously please send me the code and step guide so that when you search only categories with matching criteria show in the side bar

Many thanks

Glenn

Hi Glenn,

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

If I am correct, you want to hide empty categories from sidebar menu once one perform a search through this plugin. For this, as I said I would require your server’s access ( FTP and Admin ) so that I can do it directly there. This custom code depends on how a theme shows those categories in sidebar so I wouldn’t be able to share correct code until I have website URL and server’s access.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi,

I’m trying to restrict the plugin to options for the make to only Subaru but even when I upload only Subaru and delete all the terms that aren’t Subaru, it still shows them as options in the dropdown. Not sure what to do.

While you login WordPress backend panel of your website, and go to “VPF Terms” page from left sidebar, you will find a button saying “Delete All VPF Terms”. Click on it and it should delete all the existing VPF Terms and their relations with WooCommerce Products. Thanks!

Thank you, this fixed the issue.

I made it work on the woocommerce test site … My issue is on the main site with theme. does not behave the same.

I sent you credentials through gmail response.

Thanks.

Hi there,

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

I can see the issue on your website and require FTP details in order to troubleshoot the reason and fix it.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi , Sent you ftp credentials to your gmail address, thx.

Sent you an email, please check. Thanks!

hello, plugin does not work in themes installation and brand new woocommerce installation. I have followed import procedure for csv file.

theme install is https://axlesunlimitedinc.com/shop/ woocommerce clen site: http://auwoocommerce.wpengine.com/?post_type=product

Please advice.

Hi there,

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

Currently if I search for a Year > Make > Model combination while I am on this page: http://auwoocommerce.wpengine.com/?post_type=product, it takes me to relevant product.

Can you please explain me in more details that where does it fail for you? Also I have requested for FTP and Admin details through email so please reply me back there with these details too.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Where do I style the CSS? Can you send me CSS style to center the search and make it larger? Thanks!

Did you receive the email?

Yes I got it. However, everytime I open your provided page URL, it asks me to login first. Please provide me website admin login details too so that I can get access of that page and complete it ASAP. Thanks!

Hi, I’ve been using this plugin on a client’s website for a while now and I really like it. I am having trouble though with getting a good Related Products plugin to work right and only show items for the vehicle selected on a single product page. Do you have a recommendation?

THanks for the great plugin!

Hi there,

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

For showing related products based on user selections, there is no addon available and it would require some custom work in your theme. In case if you want me to help for this custom script, it will cost you some additional charges. Please contact me at wpinstinct@gmail.com if you want to discuss it further.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Thank you for the quick reply! I ended up trying out a script that forces related products based on tags and not categories, that did the trick! Thanks again.

That’s great!

How can I automatically mark products as universal when they do not have a YMM term? I have about 3,000 products and a big portion are universal products.

It would require some custom work in order to let it work in the way you want for universal products. Provide me your website’s FTP and Admin details so that I can try it on your server. However, you will not be able to update it anymore for future versions.

For CSV import, this issue normally remains with server configuration. Just increase max_execution_time and memory_limit values of your server and try it again. If you still see the error, then provide me your CSV file and admin details at wpinstinct@gmail.com and I will give it a try for you.

Thanks!

I just sent you an email with the credentials you requested.Subject “Universal Products Custom Work”.

Thanks.

I am going to check your email now and will revert you back there.

Thanks!

Hi Pre-sale question. It is possible to hide or not use the year, that is, use only Make/Model/Engine/Category/Keyword?

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest in my plugin. I would be happy to assist you.

You can disable last level of my plugin which is engines. Next, change the label of third dropdown from years to engines. So not a direct way but still you can disable years by following above approach.

However, I will suggest you to you look into my another plug-in too which allows you to create your own levels: https://codecanyon.net/item/wpce-woocommerce-parts-compatibility-editor/24115209

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi. I’m working on a client’s website that is using this plugin and it doesn’t seem to work properly. The keyword is being passed through to the search page but if I don’t have a keyword and just use the dropdown menus none of the options I’m selecting are being passed through to the search page. It just goes through like so: search-results/?q= – so when I get to the search page ALL of the products are showing.

How do I fix this? Thanks.

So I’ve narrowed down the problem. If I disable the keywords text box then when someone searches using the dropdowns it works fine, but when I enable the keyword text box again the variables in the dropdown menu aren’t passed to the search page. It’s like when the keywords text box is added all the dropdowns become redundant. Is there anyway around this?

Also, with the validation, is it possible to make it so that a user has to use at least one of the dropdowns for the search to work. I see there are validation options but they’re for each specific dropdown, I just want it so that a user has to choose at least one for it to work without knowing which one. Thanks.

Hi there,

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

1. Sounds like you are using a plugin which is relevant to WooCommerce search and that plugin seems to conflict with mine one. Can you please test by disabling plugins one by one on your staging server ( make sure you keep a backup of website before it ) and see which one causes this conflict.

2. As all the dropdowns are dependent to previous dropdowns so one can’t select second dropdown until select any term from first dropdown. Same way wouldn’t be able to select third dropdown until select a term from second dropdown. In other words, user can’t select further dropdowns until selecting first one then why don’t you simply add a validation for first dropdown only.

Thanks, WP Instinct Team

Hi, i have parts that can be used for vehicles 2008 – 2015 so, add a year one by one takes much time, any idea to add it quick? also send me email with sample csv please to mvin 10 10 @ gmail .com

Hi there,

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

1. You can add years in range in single CSV columns such as: 2001-2008 and it will auto make all possible combinations of current row with all years from that specific range. In start, import a CSV file wih only a few rows just to make sure that it works correctly for you and after that only import complete file.

2. You can download sample CSV file from backend yourself too while you are on CSV Import page.

3. Still want me to send you CSV file, please let me know which of these two pluigns are you using so that I can send you relevant file:

a) https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-vehicle-parts-finder-makemodelyear/13458497

b) https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-vehicle-parts-finder-yearmakemodelenginecategorykeyword/15122009

Thanks, WP Instinct Team
