    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 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

    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

    Hi Paul,

    Just a quick note to inform you that both the plugins are performing brilliantly. I have had several orders all sent like clock work with invoices popping in shortly after from the supplier and next morning at 8 on the dot I get my summary (only if there has been a sale!) Perfect!

    I had an issue with a supplier and decided to change all of his products to a different supplier and the CSV Imp plugin performed like a charm – pulled all the info out – made some changes – uploaded perfectly with no issues. I realized I had missed some things in the change and so pulled it all out again – made the changes and up it all went again perfectly. Thank you for all your help and your amazing plugins!
