Works great with ACF fields! Could not get “header manipulation” to work

    Full stars because this plugin was able to migrate data from a dead plug into an ACF-based solution for me. Thank you!

    I struggled for a while with the header manipulation feature—which I thought would let me combine content from multiple columns in my CSV—but I inevitably ended up with empty data in the fields I was trying to use it for. In the end, I manipulated the data in my CSV* prior to importing.

    * N.B. To my surprise, Apple’s Numbers worked better than Excel for concatenating multiple fields. The problem I had with Excel is that I just couldn’t get it to not alter the format of the dates in the original CSV.

    @alexanderbailey Thank you so much for sharing this feedback and for the 5-star rating! We’re really glad to hear WP Ultimate CSV Importer helped you migrate data into ACF successfully 🙌

    Regarding the header manipulation feature, it can actually be used to concatenate multiple columns, but it can be tricky to set up correctly. We’ll work on making this clearer in our docs and improving the experience.

    Also, great tip about using Apple Numbers for preserving date formats, that’s something other users might find helpful too. If you run into any other challenges or ideas, feel free to reach out, we’re always listening.
