    every time, without fail, my imported matches show as invalid dates when imported and it imports every match with todays date and time. I have imported the matches in the exact same format as the example ‘export matches’ file i created.

    Has anyone else had issues with the dates while importing matches? can someone show me exactly what they enter in the ‘play_date’ field while importing matches?

    Best format is Y-m-d H:m:s. That should work out of the box with the least chance of conversion problems. Example: 2025-07-19 08:30:00 (8:30 AM, July 19).

    If that still doesn’t work, then check the following:

    1. Do you have the following constant in your wp-config: FOOTBALLPOOL_CSV_DATE_FORMAT? If yes, remove it.
    2. Check the encoding of your text file in an editor like notepad++. It should be UTF-8. If it isn’t, then use the convert function from that tool.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Antoine,

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have checked both of them and I do NOT have the constant in wp-config and the coding is indeed in UTF-8.

    Do you have any other suggestion? It is a great plugin but this issue is making it quite cumbersome and irritating each time you need to import and set up competitions.

    Thanks

    Can you send me an example file that is giving you this issue? I would like to try it on my install (I’m on a short holiday, but can check in 2 weeks).
