I have the problem that the tasks stop working after a random number of executions. I have tried once with limit 0 and limit 9999 and with both of them the tasks stop working randomly. To fix this I have to pause the task, reset it and then restart it otherwise it doesn’t work. Are there any known cases or guesses?
Hi, thanks for contacting us. Is it the issue with scheduled tasks only? Can you please each out to us via support@wpbots.net regarding it so that we can look further into it? Regards!
Getting error when scrape html content from another wordpress site. preg_match(): Argument #2 ($subject) must be of type string, array given
Hi, thanks for contacting us and apologies for the inconvenience caused. Can you please let us know the exact source url from where you are trying to scrape so that we can check it?
Hi, I want to create a business listing directory. Can your plugin get integrated with a WordPress form (like a shortcode) where the user enters Google My Business profile URL link in the business listing form, then the fields in the form autopopulate with the data scraped by your plugin from Google My Business profile?
Hi, thanks for contacting us. Can you please let me know the exact URL from where you want to scrape so that we can check it for you? Yes, you can created shortcodes in Scraper – https://support.wpbots.net/documentation/creating-dynamic-wordpress-shortcode/
It can be any Google Map linked to a Google business profile for example this is the share shortlink from Google map for an eatery in Toronto https://goo.gl/maps/XSbM6T9f4NLzaZGx9
The purpose is that the business owner doesn’t need to enter, manually, all the business profile information into the directory listing profile on my website. For example, on my business directory website, when a business owner creates a new listing for the business, all he/she needs to do click on Create New Listing, Enter Google Map link of the business in the form, and your plugin scrape the preset data (the template created by me) and populates in the form, ready for business owner to do any editing if needed and then just easily publish it. Hope this explains it.
Hi, you can scrape from Google My Business profile – https://app.screencast.com/HsFmzrewUtc3E

Hi, I purchased your plugin by the end of april. Subscribed to your pro subscription for 9 dollars per month, and automatically was double charged by your company (2 charges of 9 dollars). I requested a refund for the malfunction and I got the refund for the plugin price (31 dollars) but never got your refund for the 18 dollars (9 dollars per month charged twice). Now I have checked my email and you have been charging me the same 2 charges of 9 dollars each every month, 3 months now. I have opened a ticket, please refund me and stop charging me. Thanks

Before I buy the plugin I want to know if it will extract all the images in the gallery of each listing here: https://www.casamientos.com.ar/estancias/aldea-de-los-cocos--e103840
I tried the demo but couldn’t make it pull the image gallery.

Just wondering if you have a public repo for scraping recipes?
I need to be able to scrape (any) Australian job site, I’ve tried several sites that have no bot prevention and wasn’t able to pull a few pieces of data I wanted.
I’ve been searching for a site we can properly scrape.
Do you have any suggestions/recipes for scraping Australian jobs from any job site? Popular or not.
We’d greatly appreciate any help on this matter.

Hello, I am looking for a solution to be able to scrape property listings from most likely Zillow. Would I be able to take that data and format it into a custom post type with Crocoblock? Also would it be possible to update or remove listings that are sold?
I just did a search and found someone else asking almost the same question as me and looks like the plugin has an issue with scraping sites that have bot protection. So my next solution would be to scrape listings from competitor agents that display the same data through an api. I would prefer not to put any competitor urls.
Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately, you cannot scrape from Zillow as it has bot prevention system ( https://www.screencast.com/t/490WhnEQU ). Do let me know from which other sites you are looking to fetch the content? You can reach out to us via support@wpbots.net

Hi
I am wondering if it is possible to merge scraped content with a pre-defined static content with the help of this plugin?
Suppose, we scrape 3 piece of content from a particular remote post.
Can we merge pre-defined static content and scraped content in a post content like this:
Static Content 1
Scraped Content 1
Static Content 2
Scraped Content 2
Static Content 3
Scraped Content 3
...
Regards,
Suman Banerjee
Hi, yes, you can merge it like that. Can you please reach out to us at support@wpbots.net regarding this so that we can provide you with more details?
Thanks & Regards!
No Tasks since yesterday….. all gone, please fix your server!
Hi, it’s because there’s some conflict between Scraper plugin and WP v6.2. We are working on to resolve this issue and it might take few days. Meanwhile, you can consider downgrading to Wordpress version 6.1.1 (you can use WP Downgrade plugin for this).
We would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused.
I’ll update you soon on this.
Thanks & Regards!
ok thx! Its working!
