 * For the time being, try commenting out line 26 of app/Services/Import/Listeners/
   FileUploader.php
 * > // if ( $_FILES[‘file’][‘type’] !== “text/csv” ) return $this->error(‘File 
   > must be CSV format.’);

 * Ok error is gone now but it doesn’t seem to import any data, stops at step 3,
   message below. Already tried to pause/continue and re-import but it won’t work.
   Thanks.
 * Import is in progress. Closing this page will stop the import.

 * Thanks for your response here Kyle.
 * Do you have an idea of what the issue is with the CSV import functionality?

 * Is there a reason my replies keep on getting removed from this thread???? I have
   the exact same issue, notifying the plugin author so they know there are more
   than 1 or 2 other people having the same problem. Come back a few hours later
   to see if there is a response and my comments are deleted.

 * Just following up on the issue, I updated version to 1.5.3 but still same issue.
   It doesn’t continue to next step.
