    Hi: I can export the listings, but don’t know how to export/import pictures.
    I lose my images when I export/import.

    sincerely,

    cory

    Images for new listings need to be uploaded by FTP:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#images

    If you export your listings to re-import, you need to keep the reference to the images exactly as in the export file.

    I’ve never done this before. Do you know if there is a video tutorial somewhere? I don’t understand the process.

    All info should be at
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#images

    What are you trying to achieve?
    Or is it just the FTP process you are not familiar with?

    Sorry if I misunderstood, I am just not sure exactly what you have a problem with.

    can you tell me the specific format for uploading images. and how do i know the images will go to the right listings which are already uploaded with Geodirectory import.

    1. where do i save it. do i create this file? wp-content/uploads/2014/11

    Also, in Setting – Media. There is no “organize my uploads in month and year “available.

    The wp-content/uploads/2014/11 is an example, if you upload the CSV file today, the correct folder will be wp-content/uploads/2015/11 [” … into the upload folder for the current month … ]

    If you do not have the Media Settings in your WordPress setting, then post your URL and WP admin details so we can have a look, that is a normal WP setting and should be there. See image.

    The correct folder should already be in your file system. See image.
    You can also use the file manager of your hosting control panel.

    I have 761 listings. and 5 pictures to each listing. I have approx. 3500 images.
    Do I need to rename each one?

    Also, do I import the entire CSV file, will it overwrite
    my lisitngs already imported.

    How do the images matchup with the listings already
    imported?

    Do I need to rename each one?

    They all need to have a unique name if they need to be uploaded to the same folder.

    Also, do I import the entire CSV file, will it overwrite my listings already imported.

    Read the section about post_id at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#import

    How do the images match up with the listings already imported?

    If you overwrite the existing listing [see above], and then upload the images to wp-content/uploads/2015/11 it should connect.

    So. I did the following and still no good.

    1. uploaded the csv file to wp-content/uploads/2015/11
    2. each name is unique to the images.
    3. I used the CSV file exported from another subdamin with Geodirectory,
    and I used Open Office.

    So, the CSV file is uploaded and still nothing.

    1. The CSV file needs to be uploaded in your WP admin area: GD > Export/import.
    Only the images need to be uploaded to wp-content/uploads/2015/11

    3. Make sure all requirements are met: categories already exist, post_id column is empty etc

    ZIP the CSV file, and also post your URL and WP admin details if you need us to have a look.

    1. I uploaded the CSV file to GD – EXport/Import. It worked fine for the
    listings. “no pictures”.

    2. What format do I upload the pictures? I looked at the “importing pictures”,
    but I don’t understand.

    3. I’ve attached in image. Is this how I upload images?

    HI,

    if these are new listings, you just need the file name, then the script will tell you where to upload the images via FTP.

    Let me know if I misunderstood your question.

    Thanks
