# Basic instructions!

 * Hello,
 * Is there any chance of getting assistance on this page? Seems to be all unanswered
   questions in this forum…
 * We’ve installed this plugin on our site because it claims to do all the things
   we require. We’ve spent ages putting together a CSV in the format required.
 * The problem seems to be that the front-end search that we’re able to add to the
   page does not have any relationship to the data we’ve uploaded as a CSV. The 
   back-end of this plugin just makes no sense. Nothing seems to relate to anything
   else. Anything we do just seems to create more and more unrelated forms and records.
 * The instructions provided are vague, poorly written and really patchy. There 
   is no kind of step-by-step process to show how to start from scratch, upload 
   your data set and then create a searchable form on the website. There’s just 
   lots of unclear and contradictory instructions in different sections but no clarity
   on what steps follow each other.
 * Has anyone managed to get this plugin working effectively?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbasic-instructions-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
