An error occurred while saving the post to database.” for all 347 items. * Maybe the way my CSV file is setup is wrong? I am trying to update a CSV file with ONLY TAGS in it. I need to update a very large bulk of tags to the WordPress.. that’s why I am doing this. * Please help thank you! * Jenny * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-csv-importer/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-csv-importer/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [Takuro Hishikawa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hissy/) * (@hissy) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-upload-csv-file/#post-4290272) * Hi Jenny, * please tell me more about your csv file. which columns included? like this? * ``` "post_id","post_tags" 1,"apple" 2,"banana" ``` * [rpazos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rpazos/) * (@rpazos) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-upload-csv-file/#post-4290542) * Hi, I have the same mistake.

Which machine used to create csv file, Windows OR Mac/Linux 2. Which server os are used to running WordPress, IIS(WIndows) OR Linux * Both OS has different line endings, and PHP might be not able to recognize different line ending. * [Zebaba](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zebaba/) * (@zebaba) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-upload-csv-file/#post-4290546) * Hi. I had exactly the same problem. In the end I stopped using Libreoffice and used Excel instead. I also copied the sample file and just inserted my own data under the post_title post_content etc. headings. Then it worked fine. I hope this helps. * [megane9988](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megane9988/) * (@megane9988) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-upload-csv-file/#post-4290550) * Hi. I had exactly the same problem too. but I settled this error. You probably use separate tab in CSV file. Really Simple CSV Importer allow only Comma Separated Value. Please try it. * [IlTimpa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iltimpa/) * (@iltimpa) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-upload-csv-file/#post-4290559) * hi all, same problem.

Now I now how your plugin works, but HOW can I export an excel file in the way that your plugin works? I mean, I can change the list separators, and I modify it form my standard ; to your plugin preference ,. Now, how can I automatically close the rows with a “? excel does not export the cell with ” separator and I manually change the , with “,”… but I need to close the rows with ” autoatically within the save as opertion. I hope I explain wel my issue.
