    Hi, I want to know how I can do to just change the expiration date and live days of all my publications. I think the process could be like this: first I would have to export all the publications and then in the excel file delete all the content except the id of each publication and in the same excel file fill in the new expiration dates that I want and put the days alive.
    My question is whether that is the correct outcome?

    Do NOT use Excel: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#important

    Do NOT delete any content, only update the days and expiration fields, using the same format as exported.

    Re-importing empty fields, will delete the current data.

    Thanks

    I try to update and the problem that occurred is that the content of the description doubled as can be seen in this example:

    https://redsalud.com.sv/medicos/el-salvador/san-salvador/san-salvador/cirujanos/clinica-de-cirugia-dr-miguel-peralta/

    Just update the information, first export the listings and then import them with the updated information, but the content of the description was doubled. What could this have caused?

    It did not happen with all listings, though, I see.
    Make sure you are only using LibreOffice for the edits.
    You can also back up your listings export file and your site in case there are problems.
    You might try the import with just one or two listings first to make sure it works as expected.

    Description content should not double unless it is double inside the spreadsheet.
