so ive recently imported my csv file, and wondering why neither the business hours, website address, or emails were imported. Im now suspecting that i should have added these custom fields in the places – settings area BEFORE uploading the csv file?

Is that the reason none of that data got imported? And i assume im going to have to re-upload the whole file again etc?

Many thanks

Hello,

if the fields did not exist beforehand, then the data would not have been imported. Add all your fields first.

Try adding a complete testing listing (with all fields filled) and then exporting the listing. Merge your data into that exported CSV file. Change the format of the data you want to import to match what you see in the export.
