Buld uploader not working as of 10-16-13

It worked perfectly! Thanks for the update!

Great to hear and no problem ??

Hello,

I am having the same issue and running 1.0.3 of the bulk upload plugin. About two weeks ago I was able to import them fine and now I try to upload any file, even the example csv file, and receive:

Invalid file. Use the below for debugging and when asking for support.

File: Array ( [name] => test.csv [type] => text/csv [tmp_name] => /tmp/php0fP6v0 [error] => 0 [size] => 37 )

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi smoe,

Major apologies, it would seem I accidentally removed that mime type from the list! I have release 1.0.4 which has it added back in.

Sorry again for the inconvenience.

That took care of it. Thanks for the quick fix!!!

This plugin (while much needed for me) is still not functional. I’ve been fighting with it for a few hours and I can’t get it to import correctly. I use the example .csv with column A as the old URL and column B as the new URL. The sheet says it imports, but it only creates 4 or 5 entries and none of them are correct. It seems that the importer is confusing some of the fields and importing some of the old URLs as new ones and parsing some of the others. Again, this would be a HUGE help to me, but it still isn’t something I can use at this point.

I’m using a Mac with Excel 2011 to save/create the .csv. I can send you some screenshots if that helps.

Hi Allen_Willis,

Sorry to hear that. What your experiencing is quite unusual. It almost sounds like the delimiters have been setup wrong. I’m using the CSV standard (“) to enclose values, (,) to delimit those values.

However, given you mentioned you created the file on a Mac, and after some digging around, it would appear that this is a common problem. Some Mac versions will end a line with a return (\r) and PHP isn’t reading this. Are you able to implement a line of code for me? In your wp_config.php file will do the job.

ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings',TRUE);

If this works, I will add this as an option to turn on in the plugin.

Ash –

That seemed to work! Yes. It would be great to see that as an option in the future.

Thanks for your responsiveness and willingness to troubleshoot.

Allen

Hey Allen,

No problem at all. Happy to help. The plugin should be usable by all, so when its not, I like to find out why ??

I’ll have that option added and released within the next 24 hours.

Thanks for testing it out for me!

When the release comes out, be sure to remove that line from your wp_config file, just to keep things clean.

Will do. I’ll be looking for the release.

Thanks again.

Hey Allen,

Version 1.0.5 has been released. I’m unable to make sure it works. If you get the chance, it would be great to double check it that its working as expected.

Thanks mate.

Hi Ash,
I can upload the csv file that comes with the example… there is no problem with it… The situation im having is that AFTER uploading it, i go and check the REDIRECT and it does not change anything, i mean, is like if i have not done anything…

After uploading the csv, do i have to do some extra step???

Thank You in advance!!!

I am also having issues (and I’m on a mac). I have the CSV structured exactly as the example. It does not give me an error, though — it seems to think all is fine, but the confirmation message at the bottom of the screen after import is the first indication that things are not as they should be.

Instead of saying:
/source-url/ was added to redirect to “https://domain.com/destination-url/”

it instead says:
/source-url/ “https://domain.com/destination-url/” was added to redirect to

This strange output is not the end of the world I guess, but then when I go to the resulting 301 list, I see that the source URL is filled in properly, but the destination url is empty.

Has anyone gotten this plugin to work? What did you do different?

Hi Dan_web and etellewyn,

In future, please start new threads instead of hijacking someone elses as stated in the forum guidelines.

Now that the formalities are out of the way –

Does it give you any errors at all to work with? I can’t say I’ve had this issue before so I’m not sure where to begin for this one. Any further information you could give would be very helpful.

It sounds like the CSV you’ve compiled has the incorrect field delimiter on it. This should be a comma (,) and the text delimiter should be a double quote (“). What you have set to the end line shouldn’t matter too much as auto-detect is on.

Please let me know if you have your CSV compiled with these. I can assure you many people have this working including myself that uses it on quite a number of clients, some that use it on a weekly basis for numerous reasons.
