Hi @smarti9,

When you manually create locations instead of importing them, what are the steps you take?

Hey @jejedies69,

Can you please share screenshots of your import template and import settings for the Yoast fields? Also let us know if you see any errors during the import. Be sure to blur out any sensitive information.

Hey @kolgenpav,

Thanks for checking that.

In my experience, issues like this often require ongoing follow-up, and it may be difficult to handle fully here in the forum. If you head over to https://www.wpallimport.com/support and contact support there, we’ll do our best to take care of you.

Hey @kolgenpav,

Were you able to go through the steps I posted in the last message?

Hey @mcdeth,

Could you please clarify if it’s safe to remove them regularly (e.g., via a custom cron job)?

Yes, as long as there are no imports running.

Is there any way to limit or prevent their creation?

No, they’re required for the import, but the same process that creates them also attempts to delete them, so you should check with your web host to see if there’s a permission issue on the server that’s preventing that.

Hi @kolgenpav,

Thanks for this. The issue in the latest version looks like a conflict. I tested on my own site and couldn’t replicate it.

Can you please set up a staging copy of your site and run a conflict test (disable other plugins and switch to a default WordPress theme)? See instructions here: https://learn.wordpress.org/lesson/troubleshooting-your-site-plugin-and-theme-conflicts/.

Hi @ykipp,

Thank you. I tested with this file, and it works fine on multiple test sites, so there’s something odd going on here.

Could you please check the following things:

1. Open your browser’s developer tools (right-click > Inspect on the page), then try a fresh import. In the “Network” tab, look for requests like: admin.php?page=pmxi-admin-settings&action=upload&_wpnonce=.... There should be one per chunk. Check if any of them return a status other than 200.

2. It may help to verify whether the file is being uploaded completely. If you’re able to access your site files, check the most recently created folder inside wp-content/uploads/wpallimport/uploads/
and see whether the uploaded file appears intact.

3. You should also ask your hosting provider if there are any server-side restrictions or logs (such as firewall or security rules, or permission issues with the uploads folder) that might be interfering with the upload.

4. If you’re using any firewalls or CDNs, please ensure they’re not blocking admin-side uploads.

Let me know what you find.

Hi @ykipp,

Would it be possible for you to link us to a copy of a file that generates this error? You can replace the real data with dummy data since this is a public forum (Mockaroo is a tool that’s really good at generating dummy data).
