In WP 3.1.2, they didn’t deactivate plugin anymore when updating it… doh.

If you do automatic update, you need to deactivate and reactivate CJ-Datafeed v1.5 to create template system values.

If you get empty template values and no “v1.5” show in admin pages, simply deactivate and reactivate CJ-Datafeed.

If it’s your first installation, have no worry about that.

You will be please to use the latest version of CJ-Datafeed.

I redesign the admin interface to take advantage of the WP functions to display nice form and user messages. I implement some security features too. I now use the function “nounce” that WP provide to prevent malicious access to CJ-Datafeed forms.

I fixed several bugs in the post import loop. I also fix the categories creation and timestamp for future post. It’s was very ugly … I lacked WP knowledge when I first wrote the code. Lucky you, I’m getting better everyday !

I’m now trying to implement what I learn from my new book Professional WordPress Plugin Development. It’s a real must have for serious WP coders. I should have this one earlier…

WP Multisites is still not supported but it will be soon. I had to fix the upload process to support MU installation.

Coding and fixing things is time consuming, your support is vital. If you are a active user and enjoy CJ-Datafeed, don’t forget to share your success with a donation.

WP Rules !

I finally did major updates and corrections to the create post function.

Categories creation was my nightmare but I finally manage to code it cleanly. Getting back to my ugly code and fixing it, required me some time. It was a challenging one but it worth the effort.

I now try to follow WP coding rules and recommendations as much as I can.

Thanks to my new book

Stay tune for more !

Good news !

CJ-Datafeed free WP plugin will be rewrite by a professional software guy who is a good friend of mine.

All bugs should be fixed, and more options will be available for you to promote your affiliate content the easy way.

The work should be done in couple of weeks.

CJ-Datafeed v2.0 coming soon !

Be sure to uncheck the “Attempt to notify any blogs linked in from the article” option in WP-Admin->Settings->Discussion before importing datafeed with CJ-Datafeed plugin.

I tested it with my new CJ-API plugin that use the same “create_post()” WP function and it fix the false click problem that CJ affiliates experienced lately.

I didn’t tested with CJ-Datafeed yet ( I’m 100% busy with CJ-API ) but it should fix it.

I plan to release a update to uncheck this option automatically before importing new post. Check for CJ-Datafeed v1.05 coming soon

Remember, in the past you had to pay 250$ just to get access to those datafeed. Datafeed is a true goldmine for affiliates.
