Sometimes a newly exported post has images from other posts
I don't know how to provide a repro of this. But I have exported a google doc to a new draft, then opened the draft in Wordpress and it has an image at the top from a previously exported doc. The image doesn't belong there at all...
Let me know what further info you need. Not sure how to create a repro.
That's interesting. Would you be able to share both the documents with me, either with a link here or by sharing them with [email protected]? We keep track of image URLs to avoid re-uploading, I'm wondering if there's anything about the images that is causing it to appear.
Let me try to repro with a new document... The documents I was testing were non-public.
I can't repro it now, unfortunately. However, every time I go to export a new doc it says that it times out. The post has always been created on wordpress, but sometimes it is blank, while other times it is complete, images and all. Whenever it times out the first time I save a new doc in the add-on, the button still says "Save", even though the post has been created. Clicking update sometimes times out too, but sometimes works.
In generally, it just feels unreliable (and slow). Most of the posts I will need to export will be pretty big -- 2000-5000 words with lots of images, so I need it to work reliably.
In case you care -- I'm trying to use this add-on to make our blog team more productive at NVIDIA as we grow our developer blog (devblogs.nvidia.com). We draft everything in google docs, and right now I have to manually convert every doc into a wordpress post, which takes hours. As we transition to having multiple editors, that doesn't scale. So thanks for being so responsive!
Thanks for the additional info. 5000 words shouldn't be an issue, but having a lot of high-res pictures may be causing a timeout during the upload. I'll see what I can figure out to speed things up or work around the timeouts.
