The CSV file is correctly formatted and everything works when I try a small sample of data (around 250 entries or so) but fails to complete when I try anything much larger (above 1,000 entries or so).

Is there a maximum limit to how many entries can be added at one time? If so, is there some way to override this?

The only limit would be in case of hundreds of thousands of listings and a very limited execution time in your server.

There is most likely an error somewhere in the file, tripping things up.
It only needs one disallowed character to trip up.

Easiest solution is to split your file in let’s say a 100 records at the time, and keep splitting until you find the error.

You can also post your file here in a private message and we will have a look to see whether there is an obvious error.

They have to be existing.
Does that sample file import? I cannot directly see anything wrong.

All the content has to be “plain text”, no special characters can be used, they have to be HTML ready.

I could not see any of them in your sample file.

The file uploads and then the “import data now” button appears, but after it is clicked, the job never finishes and lets me know how many have been successfully imported.

However, some of the listings do go appear to go through and are visible on the site. It just stops midway through.

Thanks for your help.

Let us know,

Thx

Here is what was sent to me by the support technician:

I’m increasing the limit to 120s but this is the maximum that I can give you. If this will not help consider contacting the developer of this plugin because it’s not normal a PHP script to run for so much time without any output.

Here is the error from the last time:

[Mon Jan 19 17:24:59 2015] [warn] [client 97.104.173.120] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 91 seconds, referer: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=geodirectory
[Mon Jan 19 17:24:59 2015] [error] [client 97.104.173.120] Premature end of script headers: admin-ajax.php, referer: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=geodirectory

it depends how many rows you are trying to add and how long it takes to that server to add each of them.

If the number of row multiplicated by the time needed to enter each row is higher than 120s than it will fail…

What kind of server is hosting your website? Dedicated, VPS or shared?

Have you considered breaking down the CSV files?

Let us know,
