    I spent time to check all settings, and I exported from Old Site.

    Your new site does not have any place categories. Also make sure that all custom fields are set up the same.
    I suggest you add one listing manually in the new site, then export from the new site, and compare the new CSV file with the old file.

    Hi Guust,

    I don’t understand what is wrong.
    – Custom Fields are identical and in the same order for both site (screens)
    – I follow your guide to Export and Import
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/settings/import-export/

    So I get 5 files (Place / PlaceCategory / Reviews / Locations / Cat Location)
    But nothing happens…

    After I add manualy a new listing “Test”, and did the same process, but nothing happens.

    Best regard, Maxime

    “Your new site does not have any place categories.”

    You still do not have categories, and you will need to change the category IDs.

    I suggest you add one listing manually in the new site, then export from the new site, and compare the new CSV file with the old file.

    Please compare the exported files: the new site does not have the same columns in the same order.
    You will need to copay and paste the data from the old CSV into the correct column for the new CSV.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You mean I can not import catégories from old site to new site ?
    I need create new categorie ?

    I don’t know how to open export files, in custom fields, all is exactly the same.

    Everything about permalinks and changing them is covered here:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/settings/permalinks/

    With moving a portion of your data to a new site, you will need to create the categories at the new site before you import the listings.

    Please read through this page that covers everything about using GDV2 for importing data

    Thanks about Guide for permalinks.

    About import, I created same categories, but when I imported, nothing happens ! Have not places (before update old site, I get places, now nothing)

    From Guust’s message, how can I change Id categories ?

    When you say
    “Please compare the exported files: the new site does not have the same columns in the same order.
    You will need to copay and paste the data from the old CSV into the correct column for the new CSV.”

    – How can I open exported files ?
    – In parameter, all is exactly the same.

    Please share WP Admin credentials for both site so we can take a look.

    About import, I created same categories, but when I imported, nothing happens ! Have not places (before update old site, I get places, now nothing)

    – How can I open exported files ?

    The IDs will be different. You will need to open the files with Libre or Open office to edit them.

    Thanks, now directory works

    I am sorry, and feel very frustred to not be able to export “Places” from old site to new site.

    You told me to open export file with “Open office”
    I sent a screenshot, I can not edit.

    I have 150 places, what is the best solution, I don’t understand

    Best regards, Maxime
