    Ok lets say I have two subcategories with the same name:

    Fruit
    –Oranges
    –Apples

    Fruit Baskets
    –Oranges
    –Apples

    Just putting the subcategory name in the csv file won’t work. If I put (Fruit, Oranges) as the csv_post_categories it will post to both Fruit and Oranges subcategory.

    How to make it post only to Oranges underneath Fruit. is there a parent_category value in the importer or something that would make this work?

    Thanks.

    Also large files choke. Is there a way to use a file that is on the server already?

    limey32: What you can do to make sure the posts go under a specific category is rename that category to something unique, put that unique name under csv_post_category in the CSV file, import the file and rename it back.

    Could you define “large”? The plugin itself has no size limitations. If you’re unable to import files larger than a certain size, it probably has to do with maximum upload size and/or maximum script running time PHP settings on your server.

    You can only import files from your machine, i.e. you cannot point the plugin at a URL.

    I appreciate the response dvkob. I looks like I am going to have to do alot of category swaps.

    Is there possibility to recognize cat ID to the importer in an upcoming version?

    Yes, I’ll most likely add the ability to specify category ids in the next version.
