 * I’m trying to set up a simple import of events using a csv file. The dates on
   the csv are in dd/mm/yyyy format and I have set ( I think ) the website and events
   plug in to the same format, but the dates are being imported as mm/dd/yyyy . 
   As a result the events are on the wrong dates or not imported at all.
 * I am a novice with WP etc , so would appreciate any help.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks for getting back.
 * Dropbox link to the file below.
    This file only has the basic monthly events 
   at the moment as I was trying to make sure I could upload the data successfully
   before creating the full events diary. The dates are dd/mm/yyyy format and at
   the moment it seems to be reading them as mm/dd/yyy with the result that entries
   starting with 13 or above are ignored, and others are read as mm/dd/yyyy. Hope
   that makes sense.

 * Any chance someone has had a look at this yet, or is this just part of the overall
   issue that seems to be getting reported ?
