 * Hello, I would like to create my own .csv taxonomy file and import it on my website,
   but I don’t know how to do it. Is there an example you can share of a .csv taxonomy
   file?
    It is for a real estate site, so I would want to start the hierarchy from
   the town followed by the features like private pool. How do I do this? Thank 
   you

 * Hi,
 * You can import taxonomy in hierarchical form using the “greater than” symbol.
   This is called nested category.
 * Example for your use case :
    Town>Private Pool
 * Use this > symbol between the values in the.CSV file under the taxonomy column.

 * Adding more detailed answer here, hope that can help everyone in need of this.
   For hierarchical taxonomies the CSV structure should be like
 * > WordPress
   >  WordPress>CSVImporterplugin WordPress>CSVImporterplugin>ACFSupport
 * And you can control the slug and description to. That should be something like(
   along with CSV headers)
 *     ```
       name, slug, description
       WordPress, wordpress, wordpress cms
       WordPress>CSVImporterplugin, csvimporterplugin, wordpress plugin
       WordPress>CSVImporterplugin>ACFSupport, acfsupport, 3rd party plugin supported
       ```
