    Hi,

    Location import/export does not work, we export Listings from V2 then import that export; Location import UI responds unexpectedly, attached.

    The file import field gets populated with a data structure which contains “Sorry this file type is not permitted for security reasons.”

    Can you please advise what we can do to import Listings.

    Regards

    Mike

    Hi,

    We have an unexpected import outcome for 707x items form v1 to v2; No listings exist after the process in wp_posts database table.

    When importing, the UI results in no updates due to already exist dialogue. On selecting ‘Update listing if post ID already exists’, still no items exist in the database.

    We translated the fields correctly, including category indexes.

    Q. Can you please advise what we can do to import ?

    Happy to supply the CSV if you like..

    Regards

    Mike

    Have you tried adding one test listing in the new setup, then export, and compare that with your CSV file.
    Are all the column headings the same and in the same order?

    If we need to look at anything we will need URL and WP Admin and CSV file.

    Thanks

    Thanks Guust,

    We laboured over the new format and indexes, perhaps we have something missing.

    The result advised it parsed successfully hence our advisory here. We will review again now..

    Regards

    If you want to import new listings you should not use post IDs.
    Post IDs are only used for updating existing listings.
    Let us know how you went.
    Thanks.
