Hi

I’ve gone through the support forums and applied the suggestions and I cannot upload any data I’m getting the msg

“3 / 3 item(s) could not be added due to blank/invalid address(city, region, country, latitude, longitude).”

Steps:
I downloaded the sample file
Downloaded & used open openoffice
Put my local address detail includng Lon & Lat

I see what’s wrong, I’ve attached the cvs file
Thanks

The country should be “United Kingdom” not UK, try adding the dummy data and then export that, it will give you the right address format.

Thanks,

Stiofan

I have the same issue – my post region and country are all the same, Canada, but I get the same error message.

Hello
I am hoping that you can advise what I’m doing wrong in my listing import. Here is the file.

You do not have an author in the post_author column:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#mandatory

You have changed the names of the columns.
You do not have lat and lng for any location.

Please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export

Thanks

What about where Location is disabled? Some of my listings do not have addresses at all. So I added my own fields for addresses so that if there is pertinent data it will show, otherwise no, and still all be on the same CPT.

Is there a logging mechanism to see which lines are the problem ones?

I’ve imported small amounts of the same variants in my listings without any issues but when I give it 1600 or so it comes back with a lot of issues.

All listings in the same CPT need to have addresses, or if you created a CPT that does not require addresses, then no listings should have an address.
And if you use addresses, they all need a lat and lng.
You cannot mix and match listings with and without addresses in the same CPT.

There is no logging tool that returns detailed error reports.
If you have issues with bigger uploads, break them down into smaller ones until you find the problems.

Thanks
