 * I’m attempting to import items to custom post types, and first I ran into an 
   issue where the final import page would only import one row and then just sit
   there forever like it’s processing, but nothing more than the one row would import.
   Tried several times, but it did the same thing each time. So then I enabled the
   plugins debug mode to see what it said, but it didn’t show any error, instead
   it actually imported the posts once debug mode was on. Except it didn’t import
   any of the custom fields (which is where most of the data is), not a single new
   row in the post_meta table. Any idea what the issue might be?

 * The csv have issues. To view and fix it use a spread sheet editor like excel 
   or google spread sheet. Once fixed you try the importer again.
