    Good day
    I have previously purchased Octolooks Scrapes and unfortunately, it did not meet my requirements perfectly and thereafter I purchased your Scraper.
    I ask you please to help getting started, I have tried some methods without 100% success.
    What I am trying to achieve is to scrape property listings to my sites custom post type “listings”
    1) The first issue I am having is not seeing the gallery images on the scrape site. So I cant select them – is there a disable styles option? What to do? I want to scrape a gallery of images to my custom post gallery. Also when the images are scraped they should be hosted on my server and not the hosts right?
    2) The second issue is my “listings” have categories/taxonomies for bedrooms/bathrooms/city/property type etc. So how do I scrape these values to my custom post type?
    3) What happens when you delete a task, does the scraped data stay?
    I have attached a sample of my custom post type metadata.
    Your advice is truly appreciated.

    Hi , I am not the owner , But I am also using this plugin . To Post the category , If the category field is not id type and is a text filed in wp_post , Then you can scrap directly. When you delete a task data stays yes ( Data Refer to post ).

    Hi Celeste, thanks for contacting us.

    1) the content is not displayed in scraper’s visual editor if it’s loaded via Ajax. But still it might be possible to scrape the content. We’ll need to check the source site if it’s possible or not.

    2) category – you can select it to Post Category field. For custom variables, you need to select/fill respective custom variable. These variables should be available in ‘Type’ dropdown box – https://www.screencast.com/t/rqGzsQsFG0m

    3) already imported data will not be deleted, only the task is deleted.

    Is https://vacations.capetown/ your website or the source site from where you want to scrape the content? Please let us know the exact source URL so that we can check.
