I am having this same issue. No images added to the product even though they have been previously added to the media library and the names are exact.
What to do? I need an answer fast.
I am simply unable to add images to my items no matter how simple I make it.
I tried with the filename, full URL, nothing gets added.
I have emailed the author about a handful of things and have not received any word from him in quite some time.
Pretty disappointed at this point.
Poh, i feel your frustration.
Thanks for the free plugin Allaerd, but it needs some tweaking to let it work. This is how I (eventually) could make the image part work:
-Create a folder in your ‘uploads’ folder: ‘csvimport’. Otherwise you have a permissions problem (on my local Wamp/Windows setup).
-Put your images (and csvimport.csv file) in that same csvimport-folder.
-In your csvimport.csv file create image urls like this: (with an absolute url) http://192.168.0.196/example/wp-content/uploads/csvimport/20200.JPG
-When you setup the headers before you import the file: ‘featured’ didn’t work for me. ‘images’ did work. Because I have only one photo per product, that works. Although I would love to see the ‘featured’ option work as well.
Extra: Prices only work with . Not with , And I put a Regular and (Normal) price in the header to let that part work.
And: while importing a file it says: 1/8 starting… BUT: nothing happens.. you think.. it WILL import your products, though.
You need to keep on tweaking with this plugin. Or buy the WooCommerce Plugin.
Cheers!

AND, don’t put your csv-file in your csvimport-folder. It will not upload in that case. (See previous comment)
AND, when importing 250 products I have to split up the importfile. I can only get “5 rounds with 25 rows” in it. Then it stops.
AND, AND, AND.. but finally it works..
When you like to tweak and improvise I would certainly recommend this plugin. Otherwise, not.
Hi there,
In the last year i tried maybe 1000 CSV files. No problems at all. Follow these steps:
1. Upload you Image in the media manager in advance!
2. Put in the image name (image1.jpg) in the CSV
3. If you have multiple images, separate them with a | (image1.jpg|image2.jpg)
4. Make sure your upload folder has the right permission
5. If you use URL’s instead of filenames, make sure they are valid
6. Beware for spaces and capitals in names!
My issue was with a “merge”, as you and I discussed via email.
The merge process needs to get better.
You mentioned capitals in names; does that apply to URLs as well?
@someb0dy, who are you asking about capitals in names?
I was directing that towards allaerd (plugin author)
