    Hi,

    First of all , useful plugin!

    If I export a custom post type CSV file (all configurated as I want) in order to edit with my spreadsheet program, and later I Import them, changes are overwritten in database and consequently shown in my posts without problems?

    Thanks in advance!
    Regards.

    Well I decide to run a test with one post (I created for this purpose).

    Now, I updated the plugin to latest version and when I export CSV file, some fields (columns that with previous version are generated) now are missing. Why?

    How to solve it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Pinoss

    If you’re referring to ‘hidden’ custom fields (those starting with ‘_’ ), then I think version 1.7.2 will fix the problem for you.

    Yes I’m referring to this custom fields.

    I view that version 1.7.2 it’s now available . I upgraded the plugin and now this fields are showed but there is a problem: first rows are exported well but after some lines, columns are mixed.

    Hi Paul,

    Yes it’s fixed with version 1.7.3, Great!

    I’m trying to test the plugin in order to update one post. I read in the support forum that first create this post and then export the csv. Then edit and delete everything except data related to this post. This is what I have done but when i’m importing the file, takes a long time and gives an error: “import failed server did not retorn Because a valid json data “.

    Additionally ask if when import some CSV, the plugin remove “wp” and others prefixes and update items in database without any problem.

    Thanks in advance,
    Good job!

    Hi Pinoss

    Import Failed

    This can happen if there’s a PHP warning or fatal error generated during execution. If you can find the error in your error log and post the error here, then I’ll try to solve the problem.

    Alternatively, you could contact me via my site, and give me your WP and FTP access details so that I can debug it myself.

    Next Version

    If you can wait, then I hope to improve error logging in the next version, so it will be easier to resolve these issues, but that could be several weeks.

    Import

    If I understand the question… yes, the prefixes will be removed on import. ie

    ‘cf_example’ -> ‘example’
    ‘cf__hidden’ -> ‘_hidden’

    Best wishes

    Hi Pinoss

    Version 1.7.4 should show you what the error is during import/export. Just cut and paste in here and I’ll take a look.

    Best wishes
