Advanced Import: One-Click Demo Import for WordPress

Changelog

1.4.6

  • Security Fix: Fixed Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in demo import from URL feature.
    Now uses strict URL validation + wp_safe_remote_get() with reject_unsafe_urls.
    Thanks to the security researcher who reported it.
  • Hardened all remote HTTP requests in the plugin for consistency.

1.4.5 – 2025-01-14

  • Added: Introduced support for Blocks Navigation feature.
  • Added: Implemented a new filter hook advanced_import_replace_content_string.
  • Updated: Enhanced plugin tagline title for clearer comprehension.

1.4.4 – 2024-11-12

  • Added: Tested with the latest WordPress
  • Added: Inbuilt support for PatternsWP themes

1.4.3 – 2024-08-24

  • Added: Plugin link to Import.

1.4.2 – 2024-08-16

  • Added: Developers can now enable plugin installation from a URL by including theme source in the demo list array. This is ideal for plugins hosted outside of WordPress.org. Important: If a recommended plugin is already available on WordPress.org, there’s no need to use the “source” option.

    ‘plugins’ => array( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘your plugin name’, ‘text-domain’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘plugin-slug’, ‘source’ => ‘https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/advanced-import.1.4.1.zip’, //full url with zip, your theme url, or any site link with zip will work    ),
