WP All Import – cannot import categories or any other dropdowns

Hi Alex,

Yes the “Geodirectory Add-On” section shows in WP All Import.

I have set Categories to categories{1}

I have also set this in “Taxonomies, Categories, Tags” to “each shop has multiple categories”, separated by “,”, and trying to match existing categories.

The format of our data for categories{1} are categories which exist and are values including “Luggage Shop”, and “Electrionics Accessories,Electrionics Shops”

After running the import, these fields are not populated.
Neither are any other fields which have multiple selections (e.g. tags, and our own custom fields)

I’ve used WP All Import quite a lot before, and this has always been successful with normal posts.

How should these be formatted?

Hi Folks

See below response from my dev.

This is not importing correctly. Can you please fix this.

Thanks

Scott

Hey Scott,

Same problem here as with the sorting I think.
The import they’ve written just doesn’t work.

This is all set up in WP All Import – there’s not all that many
settings, and there’s nothing I can change about the import that would
solve it. Would be best to contact them as they will need to solve it
there (like they did with the categories). The only option I have is to
pull their plugin apart and fix it myself, which isn’t going to be very
easy.

Thanks,

Dug

Hi Folks
