Hi Delaney, I finally got this to work. I contacted my hosting and the problem was caused due to the allow_url_fopen option being disabled in my php.ini file. Once I enabled it. It works perfect.

I tried these permission settings without any luck either.
I am still have the problem. I am waiting for a response of my hosting. In the meantime I figured that if WP Ultimate CSV works using Xamp, I could do an export with WordPress to xml and then import the xml file the WordPress installation on my server. This resulted in the same respons. Everything was imported except for the featured image.
Hi delaney101,
To make sure the problem was not in my theme I installed a WordPress installation locally using Xamp (See here) When I tested the .csv file it worked fine with my theme. The external images were imported into the media manager and the featured images showed in the front and backend of WordPress. It’s nice to have Xamp for yourself but if want…I can do a local test import with your theme. What is the name of the theme you are using? If your theme also works locally you have to check your hosting.Hi delaney101,
I am having the same issue. I also tried my .csv on the demo site and there it works fine. When I tried it on my theme on my server it didn’t work. Have you tried to install another theme on your server that does support feature images? With the new theme upload the .csv and then switch back to your own theme. Locally my theme works perfect. Have you checked your theme locally (using Xamp f.e.)?I have tested my theme and the plugin locally using Xamp and then it works perfect. So the problem occurs on the server side. Are there any server settings I should check? Other than the permissions of the upload folder?
Nothing is uploading during the import process. When I put the images in that wp-content/2013/09 folder (and set the right permissions for those folders) and put the right urls in the csv still nothing happens.
I uploaded the same .csv file to the demo site and yes it is working excellent.
http://demo.smackcoders.com/demowptwo/lorem-ipsum-3/I have noticed that the demo site is not updated to WordPress 3.6 and my installation is. Other than that I am out of guesses why it is not working on my server.
I have made a test csv with your provided image url. The csv looks like this now.
post_title,post_content,post_excerpt,post_date,post_category,post_tag,post_author,featured_image,post_slug,post_parent,post_status,Keywords Lorem Ipsum,Dolor Sit, ,,, ,,http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Pierre-Auguste_Renoir_007.jpg/300px-Pierre-Auguste_Renoir_007.jpg,,,,I checked the UTF-8 settings and that is okay. The folder permissions are:
writable for wp-content and wp-content/uploads.In the uploads folder there is another folder ultimate_importer what should I do with that? It is not mentioned in the installation instructions. (I have made it also writable for this test)
When I upload and map the csv. I get no error but no featured images either.
I tried both using the full url internally and externally. Both with no result. When I approach the full url I can see the image. In addition I don’t see any error messages, the feature image just doesn’t show in backend or frontend. The url I use in the csv looks like this:
http://test.mysitename.com/wp-content/uploads/00001_image.jpg
I have tried the import with several different themes that have feature images still no luck.
Does anyone else have this problem? I really would like to use this plugin. All suggestions and ideas are very welcome. Thanks in advance!
