 * Hi,
 * Great plugin. I am struggling with importing from CSV to a custom date field 
   I’ve created (using Advanced Custom Fields). The format of my field is ‘m/dd/
   yy’ and value from field in csv would be example ‘1/1/2012’. I can get all of
   my other custom fields to import fine but date field doesn’t work. Any suggestions?
   I know it must be something with format.
 * Thanks!

 * Make your date like this: 2013-4-27 17:45 and choose the last option in the date
   options list, like the warning in red.

 * It should work, other wise please check your csv. On testing i can import 1/22/
   2013 as a custom field successfully.

 * Also having the same issue with the plugin – the last version was great but as
   soon as I updated, I haven’t been able to add any content into custom fields,
   none of my csv files have changed at all.
 * I am just using standard custom fields no plugin for this…
 * Do you have any ideas?
 * Please fix it!!

 * With the latest update I seem to be having an issue with ACF and WP Ultimate 
   CSV Importer.
 * I’m using a custom post type and the fields for mapping show up as the field_key
   not the field_name (ex: field_5238801a2013d instead of test_field_1). After importing,
   the data does show in the custom fields data section of the custom post, but 
   the values do not show in the ACF fields themselves on that post. I believe this
   is due to the importer not seeing and attaching the values from the CSV to the
   field_name.
 * Any ideas on how to get the field_key changed to the field_name for mapping?

 * The free version of plugin does not support ACF fields as they are stored in 
   different way.
