 * I have tried adding my entire email list, I have tried doing just two email addresses,
   and even one. No matter what I do, nothing happens. It goes back to the subscriber
   list screen and it’s blank.

 * We’re looking into that. Seems to be something causing that not to work for some
   folks (me included). but it does work for some too.
 * Can you try this alternative?

 * The CSV alternative import is the part that I am experiencing the issue with.
   I wasn’t aware there was another way to import.

 * I’d like to collect some info that probably shouldn’t be posted in a public forum.
   Hopefully we can figure it out.
 * We are looking into import issues reported elsewhere. It’s possible that if we
   have more info it will help lead to a resolution.

 * We released some changes that should fix CSV import. Please try importing again
   and let me know if it doesn’t work.

 * I updated yesterday to v1.7.7.11. I just tried adding 2 entries using the CSV
   alternative import and it did not work.

 * I don’t want to confuse the issue here, I’m not having any troubles importing
   into a WP multisite using the “Add” subscriber, and then pasting a CSV file into
   the import box. The import feature is having an issue with the CSV upload for
   importing in a WP multisite.
 * Uploading a CSV for import on a WP single site works fine, just the multisite
   is off. Reviewing your class-sendpress-view-subscribers-csvimport.php it looks
   clear that it’s intended only for the WP single site. I get the following error:
   
   [We had a problem saving your upload.](https://billgattonsales.in-autos.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/sendpress_import_upload_error.jpg)
 * Click the link to see a screenshot and if you look at the image url, you will
   see the format for storing a file in a WP multisite upload directory. I think
   this will help you correct this for WP multisite.

 * The message, “No file selected.” in the image, is the result after submitting
   the file by pressing the “Upload” button.

 * ina2n,
 * I was told multisite was patched/fixed. So try updating and give it another try.
   If it does’t work we’ll gather some additional info and see if we can figure 
   it out.

 * Same issue and I verified this on two different WP multisites. After selecting
   the file to upload with the browse button, then hitting Upload, the screen simply
   returns to “No file selected.”
 * Here’s an image:

   you.
