    Finally I made it to work. For anybody having the same problem, the right answer is here “cant figure out image slug“.

    In the CSV file you only need to enter the image name (ie image.jpg), then before importing you must upload the image into wp-content/uploads. No need to change permissions but in case you do need then permission should be set to 644 if it doesn’t work use 655. After successful import the image will be moved automatically into wp-content/uploads/edd. I know it is going to be a little messy compared to organized folders by year and month.

    I tried using a sub folder under wp-content/uploads and the import ended with a real nasty error on line 548 of class-importer.php.

    Hi Pippin.
    I’ve read the post made by barbfeldman about “Featured Image has invalid permissions”. I followed all her recommendations but I’m still unable to make the import process to work correctly, at least for featured images.

    As she said, replacing absolute path with a relative path to the image will make the import to complete successfully, but the image is still missing from the post. I tried the following:
    Uploading image to EDD folder (lines below were the data entered in the csv file):
    • /wp-content/uploads/edd/2014/04/image.jpg (image permissions: 655)
    • wp-content/uploads/edd/2014/04/image.jpg (image permissions: 655)

    Uploading image to a different folder (lines below • were the data entered in the csv file):
    • /wp-content/uploads/temp/image.jpg (folder: 755 – image: 655)
    • wp-content/uploads/temp/image.jpg (folder: 755 – image: 655)

    I dropped her a request to provide more detailed info about the process she followed but no answer yet, so here I’m asking you to (please) provide clear instructions on what needs to be done in order to import the featured image using the CSV Import Manager.
    Regards Eduardo

    Note: barbfeldman is right about the information that needs to be put in the file, so in order to import you must provide the following:
    Slug, Date, Status, Description, Excerpt, Post Title, Download file, Category, Tags, Price and Image. If the path to the image is absolute the import will stall. If the path to the image is relative the import will occur even if the category and tag provided don’t exist (will be created in the import process).

    Regards Eduardo

    I was having the same problem, fortunately you found the solution, but following your instructions I was able to upload items thru the manager without any interruption or stooping of the import with error messages, but after import none of the featured images were displayed on the products. Before importing I’ve FTP’ed:
    nttp://www.blahblah.com/wp-content/uploads/edd/2014/04/image.jpg

    and in the CSV file Image information was in the following form:
    wp-content/uploads/edd/2014/04/image.jpg

    permission was 644 which is the standard file permission for wordpress files.

    So after my failure, can you explain exactly your process? You sat something about uploading to a folder under Wp-content and that CSV manager will put the pictures in the right place, can you shed more light.

    Thamks in advance, Regards Eduardo

    After importing just one item and having the error with invalid image permission, the import did finish but again category and tag were not imported (check image – link below). Both, category and tag were previously entered into wordpress.

    Permissions are the following:
    uploads/edd = 755
    uploads/edd/2014 = 755
    uploads/edd/2014/03/ = 755
    uploads/edd/2014/03/any-image.jpg = 644

    I also noticed that none of the uploaded pictures thru Filezilla are showing under media.

    Regards EGA
