 * Every single csv file I upload, it gives me a message: false byte. I’m pretty
   sure that my files are in UTF-8 but every file I try to upload a receive this
   message.
 * I’ve created simple examples like:
    ==================== company;phone My Company;
   000000000 ====================
 * And after this, I can not upload any file.
 * Can you help me?

 * [@collinsfreitas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/collinsfreitas/), we did
   soem testing and tried to reproduce the same issue. Ensure or try below php.ini
   configuration settings.
 * Following configuration is most important to Upload a file
 * 1.file_uploads = On
 * (Should be On)
 * 2. upload_max_filesize = 2M
 * (Please Verify your file size. It should be less than mentioned upload_max_filesize.
   If your file size exceed the limit, Please increase the upload_max_filesize limit
   in php.ini)
 * 3. If not working in the above case, try increase the execution_time in php.ini
 * Let me know the results, take time to give your feedback. this will help others.
