 * Hi,
 * First of all , useful plugin!
 * If I export a custom post type CSV file (all configurated as I want) in order
   to edit with my spreadsheet program, and later I Import them, changes are overwritten
   in database and consequently shown in my posts without problems?
 * Thanks in advance!
    Regards.

 * Well I decide to run a test with one post (I created for this purpose).
 * Now, I updated the plugin to latest version and when I export CSV file, some 
   fields (columns that with previous version are generated) now are missing. Why?
 * How to solve it?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi Pinoss
 * If you’re referring to ‘hidden’ custom fields (those starting with ‘_’ ), then
   I think version 1.7.2 will fix the problem for you.

 * Yes I’m referring to this custom fields.
 * I view that version 1.7.2 it’s now available . I upgraded the plugin and now 
   this fields are showed but there is a problem: first rows are exported well but
   after some lines, columns are mixed.

 * Hi Paul,
 * Yes it’s fixed with version 1.7.3, Great!
 * I’m trying to test the plugin in order to update one post. I read in the support
   forum that first create this post and then export the csv. Then edit and delete
   everything except data related to this post. This is what I have done but when
   i’m importing the file, takes a long time and gives an error: “import failed 
   server did not retorn Because a valid json data “.
 * Additionally ask if when import some CSV, the plugin remove “wp” and others prefixes
   and update items in database without any problem.
 * Thanks in advance,
    Good job!

 * Hi Pinoss
 * Import Failed
 * This can happen if there’s a PHP warning or fatal error generated during execution.
   If you can find the error in your error log and post the error here, then I’ll
   try to solve the problem.
 * Alternatively, you could contact me via my site, and give me your WP and FTP 
   access details so that I can debug it myself.
 * Next Version
 * If you can wait, then I hope to improve error logging in the next version, so
   it will be easier to resolve these issues, but that could be several weeks.
 * Import
 * If I understand the question… yes, the prefixes will be removed on import. ie
 * ‘cf_example’ -> ‘example’
    ‘cf__hidden’ -> ‘_hidden’
 * Best wishes

 * Hi Pinoss
 * Version 1.7.4 should show you what the error is during import/export. Just cut
   and paste in here and I’ll take a look.
 * Best wishes
