 * I am attempting to import games into the schedules and scoreboards app with date,
   time, opponent and location but it is not importing it. I tried exporting other
   games that i entered manually to see if i could import it from there, but it 
   does not work (it uploads, but the date and time aren’t there). Is there a csv
   example out there that I could get? Thanks

 * Hi Milo,
    Thanks for posting your questions here. I looked at the CSV file you
   sent via e-mail, and there are formatting issues with it. Take a look at the `
   Games-export-with-text-date-times.csv` file in the plugin’s `/csv-examples directory`.
   You will see the proper format for the `game_dtg` column, which is `12/7/2014
   13:05`. You have to combine your `date` and `time` columns into a (properly formatted)`
   game_dtg` column.
 * Regards,
    -Mark

 * Ah. How do I get to the /csv-examples directory?

 * You can download the plugins .zip file from [the WordPress plugin page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mstw-schedules-scoreboards/)
   to your local machine.
 * OR, download it from your server using FTP, or your web host probably has a “
   file manager” application (that’s usually a web interface to FTP).

 * Is the date and time column merged in this plugin? Last year when I used the 
   old plugin, they would be separate columns for date and time but I cant import
   my schedule now.

 * Hi rickyl,
    Both the date and the time are pulled from the `game_dtg` column 
   in a text format, or from the `game_unix_dtg` as a unix/php timestamp. Examples
   are provided in the plugin’s /csv-examples directory.
 * Hope that helps.
