    I am using Open Office and getting the following message when attempting to import my listings in a csv file type.

    Array( [error] => Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.)

    I am guessing that the cvs file type needs to be added to WordPress but everything I have tried has failed. Since import of listings is a crucial aspect of GeoDirectory this should have been addressed in your core plugin and wasn’t. How do I fix this issue?

    I created a child theme with what I think is the correct script to add the csv file type but that is not working either. I am attaching it.

    Hi Bennie,

    Thanks for your post. The error is from a bug in WP. Some people have had success with adding this plugin, to use just until WP fixes the error:

    Hello!
    Had the same issue @Bennie told above. It is a WP bug as @Kor wrote.
    I fixed it modifying this line in the functions.php file inside /wp-includes/
    look for the pink line and replace it with the green line.

    Hope it helps!
