import RTL data

Make sure you are using LibreOffice to edit and save your CSV for import:

Please read: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/

Try it with LibreOffice, and if it doesn’t work, share the LibreOffice CSV here.

You may need to zip the file in order to attach it.

OK, then it is not a problem with language.

That error means that one of those columns is blank.
Those columns are required.

If you want to add locations outside your default location, you will need to install the MultiLocations addon before you can import your data.

These fields are required:

post_address: Street address [This can be the actual street address, or the name of the Business, etc – it just cannot be blank]
post_city: City, town etc
post_region: state, province etc
post_country: country
post_latitude: latitude in signed degrees format, for example -20.97625669
post_longitude: longitude in signed degrees format, for example 162.45444

Hello,

You can enable debugging to get better error reports. Instructions are here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#debug

I have flagged your topic for the developers who will take a look when they get back into the office after the weekend.

When I export the current Places Listings the same listings cannot be re-imported.

The error is: Total 7 item (s) found.

7/7 item (s) could not be added due to blank title / invalid post type / invalid characters used in data.

Thanks for your patience while we look into the issue.

Hello Shahram,

After doing some debugging found that there is conflict with “WP-Persian” plugin. WP-Persian plugin have options that translate date numbers into non-english language. Ex it translates post date to ۱۳۹۷-۰۵-۲۳ ۱۴:۰۹:۳۵, and during post insert/update it raises error. That’s why it refuses to import post.

You can fix this by one of following:
1) Remove post_date column from csv
2) Disable date number translation from WP-Persian
2) Add following code snippet in your child theme functions.php or execute via any PHP snippet plugin.

function _gd_custom_fix_wpp_conflict() {
	if ( class_exists( 'WPP_Hooks' ) && ! empty( $_REQUEST['task'] ) && $_REQUEST['task'] == 'import_post' && ! empty( $_REQUEST['action'] ) && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'geodir_import_export' ) {
		remove_filter( 'date_i18n', array( 'WPP_Hooks', 'wpp_date_i18n' ) );
	}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', '_gd_custom_fix_wpp_conflict', 10 );
