# Creating empty products from empty rows

 * I’ve got an issue that’s been popping up since your last update.
 * The XML form we use to update our pricing information has some meta data a few
   rows below the list of products. So, whenever someone imports a new XML, the 
   plugin seems to import the empty rows and creates a few empty products. Since
   the products aren’t in any category, they don’t actually show up on the live 
   site, so it’s only a minor inconvenience for me going through and cleaning them
   out every once in a while. But, still…
 * I’ve asked the guys to try to delete the meta data from the XML before importing,
   but since there’s so many forms they use, and a few people doing the importing,
   it still happens from time to time.
 * So, is there any way to tell the plugin to just not important information from
   empty rows?

 * Hi [@dwhiteman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwhiteman/),
 * You should be able to accomplish this with filters, to only import posts with
   the desired data. However, if you want you can send us your data and we can take
   a look and see if we can make WP All Import smart enough not to import these 
   kinds of products: [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/)
