    Hi,

    So we recently nuked a directory site of ours and set up a new site with geodir V2. We tried to import a csv file (attached) with the categories for our “business” custom post type, using the gd_sample_categories.csv as a guide. when we try to import it we get this error: https://d.pr/i/rOquQ4

    We were wondering if there are perhaps illegal characters or something of the sort within the csv we imported that were not previously illegal characters in V1, or what is it that we’re missing? Thanks in advance.

    Nevermind, CSVs aren’t permitted apparently. What we noticed might be illegal characters are commas, ampersands, stuff like that. We also got rid of the field values for cat_image and cat_icon as the media path no longer exists. Which part exactly is the problem? Is it all problems across the board?

    In v1 category names were used, in v2 it has been changed to the WP defaults which is a category ID. Please give that a try and if u have any issues let us know.

    Thanks,
