 * I am using the latest version of the plugin (4.7.2) in addition to the latest
   version of wordpress and woocommerce. The problem is when I try to filter an 
   import, i am getting an error “No matching elements found for XPath expression
   specified.” which is frustrating because I am sure I have made nothing wrong.
   
   For example I have a field called manufacturer and I want to skip the ones that
   contain “NO Brand”. The expression that is created is /product[Manufacturer[1]!
   = “NO Brand”] which is correct but I still get the error. In another website (
   version 4.7.1 ) we are having it is working. Any thoughts?

 * Can you please check your browser’s console (see [https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/console/](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/console/))
   when you try to add the filter? In some environments, you’ll see a 403 error 
   in the console – if you see that, you’ll need to contact your web host about 
   the problem. They should be able to adjust your security settings to allow the
   filter.
 * Let me know what you find.
