FAQ
Does this plugin work for all WeChat articles?
It works for the vast majority of articles from WeChat Official Accounts. However, due to potential changes in WeChat’s page structure or rare protection mechanisms, 100% success cannot be guaranteed.
Will this plugin slow down my site?
No. The plugin only consumes server resources when you are on its admin page and click the “Import” button. It has zero impact on your website’s frontend performance.
ChangeLog
1.8.6
- Fix: Resolved a server timeout issue that occurred when importing articles with a large number of images, which previously caused the process to fail.（修复：修复因文章图片过多，导致导入时间过长，而引发服务器超时跳转“admin-post.php” 页面的bug；）
- Tweak: Re-architected the import process to be asynchronous (multi-step). This significantly improves performance and prevents the admin area from freezing when importing articles with many images.（优化：采用新架构，优化图片下载逻辑，降低多图文章导入时引发后台卡顿的概率；）
- New: Added an option to enable or disable thumbnail generation during import. Disabling this can dramatically improve import speed and stability on servers with limited resources.（新增：新增是否生成缩略图选项，让配置低、性能弱的服务器也能流畅导入微信文章。）
1.6.5
- Tweak: Use MD5 to determine image uniqueness. If an image already exists in the media library, it will not be downloaded again, greatly saving disk space.（优化：通过MD5来判断图片唯一性，若图片已存在媒体库，将不再重复下载，大量节省磁盘空间；）
- Fix: Initially resolved a bug where a server timeout, caused by a long import time for articles with many images, would lead to a redirect to the “admin-post.php” page.（修复：初步解决因文章图片过多，导致导入时间过长，而引发服务器超时跳转“admin-post.php” 页面的bug。）
