If you replace the newlines with `
` it should work. * I did this with about 33% of your file (1200 names), and that worked perfectly! * Please let me know if this works for you too 🙂 * Kind regards, * Jeroen Peters * Thread Starter [modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/) * (@modifyedworks) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11421543) * Hi, * I removed all the empty/blank lines, but still no luck 🙁 * I have also mailed you the edited file, pl check.

But unfortunately, its still not working. Could it be some server settings? Do you need access? * Thanks * Thread Starter [modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/) * (@modifyedworks) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11423679) * Its definitely got to do with some server settings/php library etc. As I tried importing the csv file on another website and it works. Can you guide towards some missing/minimum server settings required to import a CSV? * Thanks * Plugin Author [Jeroen Peters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeroenpeters1986/) * (@jeroenpeters1986) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11423880) * Hi [@modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/), * then it could be the server indeed. Does it state what the maximum MB’s of upload are? It should be next to the file-button. * Do you know which version of PHP you are running btw? * Kind regards, * Jeroen Peters * Thread Starter [modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/) * (@modifyedworks) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11423962) * Hi, * Upload limit is 8Mb. That should not be an issue. PHP version is 7.0.33 * Thread Starter [modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/) * (@modifyedworks) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11424226) * Is there a way to manually import the file? Maybe via CPANEL? * Plugin Author [Jeroen Peters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeroenpeters1986/) * (@jeroenpeters1986) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11424263) * Hi [@modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/) , that PHP version is supported by the plugin (but is out of date). * Do you have an option to switch to to another php version? There is probably Some limit in the php setting at your hostingprovider which prohibits the import at this moment. * If switching php is not an option, sql import is an option but that cannot be done with the csv. I could help with that but thats something that Goes beyond the standard plugin support * Kind regards, * Jeroen Peters * Thread Starter [modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/) * (@modifyedworks) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11424519) * Thanks. * I would really appreciate if you can give us another method to upload our file. * CPANEL/SQL etc. * It surely will be helpful to other users in similar situation. * Many Thanks! * Plugin Author [Jeroen Peters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeroenpeters1986/) * (@jeroenpeters1986) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11424855) * Hi [@modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/) , i can concert it to a sql file for you for $10 in PayPal if you want * Thread Starter [modifyedworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/modifyedworks/) * (@modifyedworks) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-will-just-not-import/#post-11428725) * Thanks, for now I’ve found another solution.
