 * CSV file won’t import. The progress bar goes to 100% but nothing happens.
 * [Screencap](https://www.dropbox.com/s/1qwzb4ixlvomb9q/Screenshot%202014-06-03%2017.24.13.png)
 * I’ve tried to import `.csv` and `.xlsx` files, by dragging them in and via the‘
   Browse’ button.
 * I got debug on but there are no errors related to this plugin, I get the same
   three errors when the plugin in disabled, just to be clear I’ll paste them here:
 *     ```
       Notice: get_settings is deprecated since version 2.1! Use get_option() instead. in /vagrant/wp/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3078

       ```
   
 * JS console gives the following error:
 *     ```
       Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null
       example.dev/content/plugins/wp-ultimate-csv-importer/js/ultimate-importer-pro.js?ver=3.9.1:18
       ```
   
 * I have tested the versions: `3.5.0`, `3.5.1`, `3.5.2`, `3.5.3` and `3.5.4`.
 * I got all other plugins disabled.
 * SImilar issue [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-will-not-load-file?replies=8),
   the stuff listed in that didn’t help.
 * My WP is 3.9.1.

 * [@hilj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hilj/), we are looking to reproduce
   the issue now. Is this fresh wp install? Is this a theme conflict in back end
   because of
    get_settings() /vagrant/content/themes/WAUY/functions.php. I can 
   ensure that 3.5.4 is warning free, but still issues created by other plugins 
   and themes. We are looking for more inputs on this.

 * Can you switch to default theme and give a try? Also check with other themes 
   rather than this themes/WAUY. Let me know with complete details.

 * Very odd, 3.5.5 was tested well with wp 3.9.1. Even with different themes twentyeleven
   to fourteen and couple of pro themes. Even we added a fix for Uncaught TypeError.
   Do you have any custom code other than plugins and themes?

 * Alrite, did more testing.
 * Local Vagrant, Precise Ubuntu on NGinx, : not working
    Remote Precise Ubuntu 
   on NGinx: not working Local MAMP on Apache: works
 * Could it be the NGinx somehow?
 * Thanks for the wonderful support so far 🙂

 * Some more testing: Ubuntu Plesk server on Apache and no go. Only thing where 
   it works for me is MAMP.
