    Hello,

    Make sure you save the file with LibreOffice, not Excel.

    To share it with us you can zip the file first

    Not a valid CSV File error

    There is a bug in WordPress that you may run across if you try to upload a CSV file. When you try to upload the file, you may see an error:
    “The uploaded file is not a valid csv file. Please try again”.

    Some members have reported success with this plugin, a temporary fix until the WordPress issue is resolved:

    Are you updating a listing? If so, then post_id is ok, if not it should be cleared.
    There are illegal characters when I open with UTF8 encoding. What encoding did you save as?
    Did you use LibreOffice?

    Hi,

    I have installed the plugin. However, I am now receiving the following error.

    “Total 1 item(s) found.

    1 / 1 item(s) could not be added due to blank title/invalid post type/invalid characters used in data.”

    Please answer this question…

    Errors are still there, you need to correct all bad format characters.

    For example in the title of the 1st listing:

    Tolimaﾒs Auto Center

    See what’s there instead of an apostrophe?

    All similar errors must be corrected.

    Thanks
