Import records

    I am trying to update our records by importing them which I have done countless times before. Today, however I am receiving the following error:
    The file -July-27-2016.csv has been uploaded.
    161 duplicate records skipped
    Zero records imported

    When importing here are the settings I have used:
    Enclosure character Delimiter character

    Duplicate Record Preference: Overwrite matching record with new data

    Duplicate Record Check Field: Record ID

    Note: Depending on the “Duplicate Record Preference” setting, imported records are checked against existing records by the field set in the “Duplicate Record Check Field” setting. If a record matching an existing record is imported, one of three things can happen, based on the “Duplicate Record Preference” setting:

    Current Setting: OVERWRITE an existing record with a matching Record ID will be updated with the data from the imported record. Blank or missing fields will not overwrite existing data.

    Like I said I have done this countless times without issue and have not changed any settings. Do you know what the issue might be.
    Thanks

    Were the any changes made to the website recently? Updates or new plugins?

    Make sure the dropdown that selected the duplicate record action on the Import CSV page is set to “overwrite” the message below (which you included in your post) reflects the last used setting, not the current setting if the dropdown was just changed.

    I deactivated WP MAIL SMTP and was flagged that there was a newer version of your pluggin. Odd, but I updated it and tried to import the file and it worked fine. I then reactiveate WP MAIL SMTP and tried importing again and it worked fine. It must have been the update but I now get the error “Fatal error: Can’t use method return value in write context in /home/content/46/10206246/html/seekers/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/classes/PDb_Live_Notification.class.php on line 108” when trying to access the settings.

    Thanks for this…did this just happen once or is the plugin not working now?

    Well you can fix it with a small code change. In the file classes/PDb_Live_Notification.class.php on line 108, you’ll see:

    if ( is_wp_error($response) || empty( $this->named_endpoint() ) ) {

    change this to:

    if ( is_wp_error($response) ) {

    and you’ll be good.

    That seems to have fixed the issue. Is it just my install or is it everyone?
    Thanks
