Current Situation Regarding WPSQT and CDN Sync Tool
By Ollie Armstrong Wednesday, 5th October 2011
Due to a recent departure of the developer maintaining WPSQT and CDN Sync Tool there has been a lapse in development and maintenance of both of these plugins. For this we apologise.
I have now picked up on the maintenance of these two plugins and so bugs and issues should start to be resolved. If you encounter a bug while using either of these plugins we would appreciate it if you could submit a bug report to the GitHub repo for WPSQT or CDN Sync Tool. Although if you do not have a GitHub account then you can report the issue to the forum for either WPSQT or CDN Sync Tool.
Update [13/12/2011]: With the latest WordPress 3.3 update CDN Sync Tool is now very broken. I am in the process of rewriting it entirely to fix these issues and all other issues as well. No definite ETA but it should be ready before the new year.
Update [13/03/2012]: CDN Sync Tool has been completely rewritten and released. Full details here.
WPSQT
The main issues that have been reported with WPSQT are:
- Multisite – plugin doesn’t work at all
- Email notifications
- Menus are over complex and confusing
- Customisation wanted with the survey chart
- Lots of issues with the ‘likert’ type
CDN Sync Tool
The main issues that have been reported with CDN Sync Tool are:
- Syncing occasionally doesn’t even work
- Edited files are not synced
- Errors connecting to CloudFiles
We appreciate your help and continued use of these plugins.

Can you please flesh out a more detailed tutorial on how to create custom pages: the post “WPSQT – Creating custom pages” just doesn’t get me to the finish line… I need more info.
I’m just about to finish a large updating patching many bugs and issues, once that is live I will get to work on updating the documentation to this new version.
Anything new on the CDN Sync Tool fix for WP 3.3?
Yep. Working on it now, complete rewrite so it’s taking a while. It will be on my GitHub repo when it’s usable so if you would like to do an early beta test then I’ll get you a link. May I ask which CDN you would be using it with?
I’d be happy to test it if you like.
I use Cloudfiles. I can also test w/ Amazon if that helps.
I’ve actually yet to implement that, so I’ll send you a link when I’ve got that done. Will be before the year’s over.
Hi!
I use & love CDN Sync tool with Amazon S3 / CloudFront if you want someone to Beta Test the plugin, I would be happy to do so.
Will the rewrite include object invalidation for Amazon CloudFront Objects, when applicable? If not, I would like to submit some code to help get that in the final version.
Thanks!

No worries, Thanks.
Hi Ollie,
Thanks for the update of this plugin. I am still testing this on one of my client sites. One problem I encountered is the form when someone take a quiz is not logged in it sends an email notifying as a anonymous user and not capturing the name entered into the form. Let us know if this is a bug.
Some documentation this time around would be appreciated.
It will be a large improvement, don’t worry about that.
[...] you are probably aware, CDN Sync Tool has been very broken for a while and actually unusable since the WordPress 3.3 [...]
I get the error:
PHP Sessions error. Check your sessions settings.
Immediately and cannot get the past the user entering their name and email address. If I remove asking for the name and email, I get the error when I submit the survey. The website is http://www.pcmsc.org. there is a menu item: Interest Survey that will take you to the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
