Title: Media only Last modified: October 29, 2020 --- # Media only * Resolved [annedav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/annedav/) * (@annedav) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/) * Hi, * When I upload a csv file, it offers Media upload only, even though I have selected the data table in mysql. The files is loader in the media instead of adding lines in MySQL table. It this normal ?

I have to upload 3 weeks of data. I’ve got the information in Excel, I export it in CSV (comma). I did an export of the table before hand, just to make sure that my export respect the format. All was OK. * When I use the plugin I select the Table Then I click upload to select the file. It says on top, of the dialog box : Add media files from your computer. * If I don’t take notice of it, I upload the folder and it is added to my Media instead of uploading it in the database. * So I tried a different table in the WordPress database structure and I still have the message : Add media files from your computer. * I don’t seem to have access to add to the MySQL database. However, It does show the structure with the headers in the Preview of the plugin. * This plugin would be very practical, since I have to upload data for a month, since the text on my website changes daily. * Thanks * Plugin Support [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/#post-13599275) * Hi, * > When I use the plugin I select the Table > Then I click upload to select the > file.

At this point you are suppose to select a csv file from your computer to import to your database table. * Kind regards * Thread Starter [annedav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/annedav/) * (@annedav) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/#post-13599327) * sorry, I meant file.

Does this mean that it is only media data that can be added ? * MySQL database table is text, not media. * But Step 5 (Update Database Rows): By default, the plugin will add each .csv row as a new entry in the database. * Is what I’m looking to do. * Plugin Support [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/#post-13599393) * When you insert the csv file does it show up in the **Select Input File:** field? If it doesn’t then there is something preventing this from happening in your site. * Regards * Thread Starter [annedav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/annedav/) * (@annedav) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/#post-13599406) * Hi, yes it does appear, but it considers it as an image when it’s process and uploads it to the Media section * Thread Starter [annedav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/annedav/) * (@annedav) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/#post-13599414) * I wish I could send you captures, because the only option I have is Media. Even in the upload option, the Tab “From URL”, you have two radio buttons, one is Image and the other one is Audio, Video, or Other File. * Plugin Support [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/#post-13599443) * Try a plugin/theme conflict test. This will determine if there is a conflict or not. * Let me know how you go. * Thank you * Thread Starter [annedav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/annedav/) * (@annedav) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/#post-13605948) * So, I really didn’t want to remove the theme and plugin to test out this plugin. Since, I have another website with a vanilla wordpress, with no plugin installed, I then installed the WP CSV TO DB. * Next I exported the wp_users table. Which gave me a csv. I then upload it the csv. It was imported in the Media section of the WordPress. Exactly the same thing that happens on my site. * Every import goes into the Media of the wordpress. * Plugin Support [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-only/#post-13606056) * Did you click on **Insert into Post** button after you clicked on Upload button and selected the file from your computer? * Regards - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/).
