Title: CSV file Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # CSV file * [chrrev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrrev/) * (@chrrev) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-file/) * HI great idea, could we have a look at a typical CSV file, not quite sure where I input the URL of files I already uploaded via FTP… Then it’s one line per file right? CHeers. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-digital-downloads-csv-product-import/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-digital-downloads-csv-product-import/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [chrrev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrrev/) * (@chrrev) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-file/#post-3439230) * Checked your sample CSV file, the only headings that don;t work for me are categories and tags, I get the error message “error adding categories to post – invalid taxonomy”… Have no idea where this is coming from. Help! * Thread Starter [chrrev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrrev/) * (@chrrev) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-file/#post-3439250) * Other problem is if I create a download manually, I can use the same picture for inserting in post AND featured image, EDD will create automatically a thumbnail for the featured image within the /EDD/2013/month/ folder… * As far as I can see, this doesn’t work with the CSV import as it stands – I end up with a huge featured image when I specify a file in the IMAGE FILE cell of the CSV import file… is there a way to get same result as with the ”normal” process? * Thread Starter [chrrev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrrev/) * (@chrrev) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-file/#post-3439278) * Also for those uploading photos to create download galleries by category, I recommend in the date field of your CSV file to increment time for each file – that way you keep the order of pics as per upload… * Plugin Contributor [Daniel Espinoza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/growdev/) * (@growdev) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-file/#post-3439280) * Hi chrrev, * If you download the plugin and unzip it there is a sample CSV file included –“ edd-import-sample.csv” (looks like you found this). * The categories and tags listed in the CSV either need to exist, or they are added. If you are receiving an error this is coming from wp_insert_term() and you can check here for how that’s used: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_term](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_term) * The taxonomies should ideally be one word. * You are correct the import adds the image, but does not create thumbnails as if the download was added manually. This might be added in a future version, but at the moment is not available. * Thread Starter [chrrev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrrev/) * (@chrrev) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-file/#post-3439288) * Hi Daniel thanks for your answer. Categories don’t work at my end, no matter what I try with name, ID etc. I don’t know if conflict with theme or what but can’t find out…So I end up having to reassign manually all categories. :-(( Regarding the images I think in future would be great for the batch import to behave just like the single creation of a download – must be already coded in EDD somewhere… Not sure what the increase in processing time would be, but so much better… I have hundreds of photos to make downloadable… ONe wee shortcut is to include a code in the ”Description” field to fetch the main image of the post – but really only half a solution.

I would love to be able to upload with multiple price options for each download. This is the main reason why using edd is cumbersome for me. Each photo I upload has several price choices. All the same each time so I have to re-enter them for every single new photo. Very repetitive and time consuming. I was hoping to use the csv import to set those up and have them ready to go, but am not finding a way to do this. Maybe a suggestion for future upgrades? Thanks for the hard work and great plugin! * Plugin Author [Pippin Williamson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mordauk/) * (@mordauk) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-file/#post-3439434) * [@aetherdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aetherdesign/) Sorry for the slow reply. That is definitely something that we will be looking to add in the future.
