Hi Paul,
thank you very much
A student apprentice categorices our products.
The plugin is wonderful!
You’re welcome. Hope I haven’t put anyone out of a job!
Paul,
After a hosting move and eshop upgrade the CSV import plugin will not recognize any eShop items for export to CSV. Any ideas? Thanks alot. The plugin has been a huge help.
After a few emails back and forth, we discovered that the file permissions on Mitch’s new web-host were read only. I’ve updated the FAQ and will put in more error checking and warning messages in the next version. For anyone else having this problem, the plugin needs to be allowed to create files in “../wp-content/uploads.”
Hi, does CSV Imp support Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies?
Hi Paul
No, not yet, but I’d be happy to talk to you about it further so have contacted you directly.
Great product well wort the £16.50 it costs here in the UK. Save a lot of time uploading the 1000 product sku’s we have.
Yes there is a few teething troubles, but thats just a likely to be my own lack of understanding rather than the product itself.
Would recommend.

Any chance this will work with WordPress Network?

Sure, I have one user who’s reported it’s already working. However, if you do have any problems I’ll be happy to work through them with you.
Best wishes

Thanks again. Appreciate your diligence in getting it working for an unusual setup.

Hi Paul, great plugin by the way, I have successfully installed almost 4k of products in one fell swoop! Good man.
I did add categories under “post_categories” as it says in FAQ’s (cat1,cat2,cat3) and it did not work, instead I have categories now named with the commas ie cat1,cat2,cat3 instead of creating subs cat1/cat2/cat3.
Please advise

Hi Kip
Thanks, you’ve uncovered a bug I think! As a temporary work-around it should work if you put ‘, ‘ (comma, space) between each category. I’ll contact you directly to confirm that fixes it for you, and then roll it into the next version.
Best wishes
Paul
