Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GameSync Game Data Importer

No. Search & Import (search IGDB, preview, import, and the per-game Re-sync button), the Games archive and taxonomies, the front-end shortcode/template, and Demo Content are all free and fully functional with no license required.

This plugin (the free version, installed from WordPress.org) does everything listed under "Free features" in the Description tab, with no license required and nothing disabled, time-limited or waiting on a license check. GameSync Pro is a separate, separately-sold plugin -- not bundled with or unlocked inside this one -- that adds Bulk Import (filtered batch importing and "Resync All"), Scheduled Imports (save a filter as a recurring background task, with a 7-day run log), and a Game Editor meta box (hand-editing trailers, screenshots and a download link). See gamesyncwp.com for pricing; it's a separate download and a separate plugin install, with its own copy of this importer built in.

The "opt in" screen you see the first time you activate this plugin isn't just a one-time notice -- it's what connects your site to Freemius so the Account and Activate License screens can exist at all. If you skip it, those two screens are unavailable rather than locked -- trying to open either one shows WordPress's generic "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.", even for an Administrator, because the screen was never registered rather than because you lack permission. If that's happened, go to Plugins in your WordPress admin, find this plugin in the list, and use the opt-in / connect-account link shown there to opt in (or reconnect) after the fact -- you don't need to deactivate or reinstall anything. One more thing worth knowing: opting in isn't finished the moment you click through that screen -- Freemius emails you a confirmation link, and Account / Activate License stay unavailable until you click it. If you opted in but it's still not working, check your inbox (and spam folder) for that email before assuming something's broken. Does Pro include the GameSync PixelWire, GameSync Presswire, GameSync Ludexa and GameSync Nocturne themes and the GameSync Game Ratings / GameSync Related Games / GameSync Review Breakdown plugins? How do I get them? Yes -- they're all included in the one GameSync Pro license, not sold separately. GameSync Pro (see the previous question -- a separate plugin from this free one) has its own Themes & Add-ons screen once its license is active, with an Install button for each one. Themes still need a click to actually switch your site over to them -- installing a theme doesn't automatically make it your active one.

Yes -- IGDB's API is provided through Twitch. Registering a Twitch developer app to get a Client ID and Secret is free and takes a couple of minutes; see the Description tab above for the exact steps.

No. Re-importing or re-syncing a game you've already imported updates the existing post (matched by IGDB's internal game ID) instead of creating a second one. If you've hand-edited a game's title, description or excerpt in WordPress since the last import, re-syncing leaves that field as you wrote it.

Yes. Copy templates/single-ggdi_game.php from the plugin into your active theme and edit it -- WordPress automatically uses your theme's copy instead of the plugin's default.

Deactivating changes nothing. Deleting the plugin (Plugins -> Delete, not a plain Deactivate) removes its own saved settings, Scheduled Imports tasks/run log, and cached data, but never touches already-imported Game posts, their images, or the taxonomy terms attached to them -- remove those manually via Game Data Importer -> All Games if you want a clean slate.

This only concerns the separate GameSync Pro plugin discussed above, not this free one. Within that separate plugin: anything already created with a Pro feature (games imported via Bulk Import, fields filled in via the Game Editor) is left exactly as it is. Only creating more of it is unavailable again until the license is reactivated.
