Support » Fixing WordPress » Very strange problem importing from csv format into posts

  • I have a very strange problem and have been searching and searching to no avail for a solution to this problem.

    I have been building a directory website for a client using the directorypress theme from premiumpress, and was provided with a list of 3,000 records to import. To the best of my knowledge, the simplest way to do this is by a CSV import.

    I’ve tried a whole bunch of different CSV plugins because I’m not sure if it has something to do with the import process or not. When importing, all the records seem to import into a post format on wordpress alright and show up in the wp-admin backend just fine… But the posts are not showing up in the frontend in the category listings – UNLESS I go into the full edit view of a post in the backend and without changing anything else, click on update. Then and only then will the post show up in the category.

    It is very strange and baffling to me. I’ve tried repairing the database, optimizing the database, different CSV plugins, bulk changing the category from one to another. Nothing works unless I click on “update” in the full edit mode in the backend.

    If there’s even a workaround to just “touch” all the posts at once to force them to update in the same manner that a full edit update in the backend does, that would help a lot!

    Any thoughts??
