Without those fields, import is worthless to me.
How might I rescue this?

Hi,

I’m using Wordpress 2.8.2 (latest) version.

I’ve installed the “import” successfully and can see it under Tools>>Import

However, when I tried to upload the sample csv file, I’m got below error..

*************************************************
Import CSV

Sorry, there has been an error.

File is empty. Please upload something more substantial.

Any idea guys, Zack.. Please help

Hey

Don’t know how to put this to you really but I’ve just launched CSV 2 POST Plugin…

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/csv-2-post/

It’s home page is…
http://www.webtechglobal.co.uk/wordpress-services/wordpress-csv-2-post-plugin

I done a search on Google to see if its been crawled and found your plugin!!! I created the plugin for myself in the first place but decided to release it. I never found your plugin through Google somehow either.

It do feel bad because it seems you took the name originally however you did not secure the name on the official wordpress plugin directory which is what I was going by.

I considered changing name however this is a much longer task for me than it would be for you so I’m not going to. I don’t even know how to do that on the WordPress directory.

Thought I would deliver the news so its not so much a shock. I’ve just got out of Uni so I’m really new to all this.

Thanks for a great tool! I used this and your category importer to move 525 entries exported from a SQL database into WordPress.

For those of you having problems with line breaks, try replacing any CR/LF combinations (ascii 10 and 13) with the ” tag. The importer will obey that and you’ll get the proper breaks in your post content. This worked great for me.

[code]name,12,260,""[/code]

When I import, it pasts in the content [code]name,12,260 and not the rest of the code.

Also, I am getting a " before the title on the post

Thanks for your help.

Hi Zack
Thanks for this great script, that will save me dozens of hours

Yet, I still have one question : is it possible to define the permalink of each post ?
