    Hi there,

    I have read a lot of information about GeoDirectory bulk uploads.

    I have downloaded a template from my site and replaced my existing places with the new ones I would like to upload.

    As far as I can see I have followed these instructions to the letter, although I have chosen not to bulk upload images.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#resources

    Unfortunately I am still receiving this message when trying to upload.
    Array( [error] => Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.)x

    I have attached the file below, can you please help me?

    Hi Rosie,

    Could you please update the WordPress version to 4.7.2 and see if it fixes the issue there? There is bug in 4.7.1 that prevents csv uploads.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I have uploaded the plugin but unfortunately I get this message, and when I look at the places nothing has been uploaded.

    Many Thanks,

    Rosie

    Hi Rosie,

    Please share WP temp admin access to your site so we can take a better look and also attached the csv file in your next reply. Please zip the file before you attached it. You can post the details here using the private reply option below.

    Thanks!

    Few pointers:

    1. The CSV file must be re-saved with a comma delimiter, it is currenty tab limited.
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/csv-tips-and-tricks/

    2. There is no data in the post_category column:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#mandatory

    3. geodir_website column needs http:// in front of the domain names

    4. It looks like some listings are intended to be updates of existing ones. If that is the case then you need data in the post_id column
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#import

    5. None of the URLs in geodir_video refer to a video.

    6. Your WP permalinks were not set correctly, I fixed it for you:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/basic-installation/#postnames

    Only #1 and #2 will stop the import, the other things will give errors in the listings once imported.

    Thanks

    Hi

    Thank you very much this has worked.

    However some of the images I have uploaded will not show up. I realise some are white logo on clear background (my client obviously didn’t think that through) but could you please explain to me why other full colour images will not show up on the homepage, when I can see them in the backend or just a question mark where they are supposed to be. How do I fix this?

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Many Thanks,

    Rosie

    I cannot see them in the backend … ?
    You have no images uploaded to the Bootlegger, and the Aviator image has not been uploaded as explained at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#images

    Have a look in the backend at the listing:
    …/wp-admin/post.php?post=326&action=edit

    You will see the missing image:
    …/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/aviator.jpg

    Thanks

    The image is in the back end and I have uploaded them as explained.

    The aviator image is in there with this exact file URL:

    http://www.unirootsdirectory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/aviator.jpg

    It is not for me:
    http://www.unirootsdirectory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/aviator.jpg goes to a 404 – not found.
    The image you posted shows it is not there, hence the “?” on the image.

    you need to upload your images by FTP
