 * I’m trying to import files from Series Engine but when I click import it sends
   me to a page that says “Invalid file stream”. I was never asked to upload my .
   CSV file so is there something I’m not doing right?

 * Hi, can you tell us what URL do you see when you get “Invalid file stream” page?
 * The import is not being done via .csv file, but from the current website database.
   If “Import” button isn’t grayed out, it means that you have (or had) Series Engine
   installed.

 * Oh ok. I do have Series Engine installed currently. When I click the “import”
   button it sends me to [http://fbchaughton.org/wp/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpfc_sermon&page=sm-import-export&doimport=se](http://fbchaughton.org/wp/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpfc_sermon&page=sm-import-export&doimport=se)

 * That is very weird issue that we are unable to recreate.
 * Could you please send an email to [nikola@wpforchurch.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-import-feature/nikola@wpforchurch.com?output_format=md)(
   and please include WordPress admin logins) so I could closely check what’s happening?
 * Thank you for the patience

 * Just so you know to look out for it, I emailed you yesterday from [bryan@nolimitwebdesign.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-import-feature/bryan@nolimitwebdesign.com?output_format=md).
   Thanks for your help

 * Hi,
 * We have fixed the issue.
 * The problem was that [the function](https://github.com/WP-for-Church/Sermon-Manager/blob/c320701b3287dedd8474b94a6e67532ed6341d4c/includes/sm-core-functions.php#L327)
   for getting image dimensions only supported JPEG images. It was made with _speed_
   in mind, so it would only download just couple first bytes to check the image
   size, instead of downloading the whole image as built-in PHP functions do.
 * But, the issue was that you had a PNG image on your website, and JPEG and PNG
   have completely different metadata, so our function failed, as it could be expected.(
   it was an oversight by us)
 * We’ve now created a [second function](https://github.com/WP-for-Church/Sermon-Manager/blob/c320701b3287dedd8474b94a6e67532ed6341d4c/includes/sm-core-functions.php#L284),
   for retrieving PNG image dimensions, very fast.
 * This is just an assumption, but the functions we use could be 10 to 100 times
   faster than PHP built-in functions, depending on image size.
 * Thank you for reporting the issue, and thank you for the patience until we resolved
   it.
 * Please report anything else you might find. 🙂

 * I sent another email to you but in case you didn’t see it when I imported the
   files it only imported 29 of the 355 on Series Engine

 * Hi,
 * We have fixed it.
 * The issue was that most of the sermons from Series Engine did not have WordPress
   post initialized, and they were silently not being imported.
 * I do not know _why_ it happened in Series Engine, but we have made a workaround
   which should fix the issue.
 * Thank you again for reporting it. 🙂
