    I’m moving my GD information from one website to another, already existing, website. Here’s the issues I’m running into:

    1) I exported the .csv files from GD on the original website, but when I try to import them into the new destination the gd_locations_xxxxxxxxxxx.csv and gd_placecategory_xxxxxxxxxx.csv files won’t import. I get an error message saying that they’re not a valid .csv file.
    2) When I tried importing the gd_place_xxxxxxxxxxxx.csv file, not all the records import. It says that there’s already posts with identical post id’s (which, considering this isn’t a brand new site I’m importing into, seems likely). How do I import the existing data into the new site without stepping on existing post id’s?

    I have installed all the same GD add-ons on the new site as exist on the old site. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Greg

    1. I am guessing, you updated WP to 4.7.2.
    That is why your places import works.
    I confirm there is still an issue in 4.7.2 with category and location import, I will get the developers to have a look at that.

    2. When importing listings for the first time, you should NOT use post IDs.
    You need the let the system auto-create the new IDs.

    1. The upload bug fix seems to have been pushed back to 4.7.3 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39550

    2. I think Guust is right.
