 * I’m having trouble importing using the csv import.
 * I created a table in phpmyadmin which is the wp_needsearch – here’s a screenshot
   of the table structure – [http://sixdegreesdigitalmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/table.png](http://sixdegreesdigitalmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/table.png)
 * And this is the csv file I need to import [http://sixdegreesdigitalmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/need-csv.png](http://sixdegreesdigitalmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/need-csv.png)
 * I followed the steps you provided and here’s what I chose for the option –

 * I checked my csv file and columns are right and also I tried populating it with
   another csv file without any duplicate entry but still can’t.
 * Can anyone help me with this problem?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * I’m facing the same problem.
 * I’m using WP version 4.7.2 and can’t import my csv file. I’m getting this error:“
   This is not a valid .csv file extension.”.
 * I even tried the “products.csv” a sample that exists in this plugin and get the
   same error.

 * Oshh, I completely forgot the step “**A direct url to a .csv file may be entered
   into the text field.**“.
 * Now it’s work!
 * Thanks (@mbrsolution)!
