Duplicate Import Entries

    With the new version 3.6 when I try to import, whatever value I enter as “No. of posts/rows per server request” will cause the import to create that many duplicate entries. Some examples…

    If I have a CSV with 5 rows, and set “No. of posts/rows per server request” to 5 I will get 5 Post created of the first item in the CSV.

    If I have a CSV with 5 rows, and set “No. of posts/rows per server request” to 2 I will get 2 posts for the first row item, 2 posts for the third row, and 1 post for the fifth row item.

    If I have a CSV with 5 rows, and set “No. of posts/rows per server request” to 5 and I check the “Detect duplicate post title” I will get 1 Post created of the first item in the CSV and 4 skipped items.

    If I have a CSV with 5 rows, and set “No. of posts/rows per server request” to 1 I will get 5 unique entries. This *works* but it’s very time consuming (about 6 seconds per entry) and the import hangs after about 150 entries.

    Can you add a sample of the same csv? did you tested it in our live demo ? If not give atry and post the results for further assistance.

    On your demo site the Imports drop down doesn’t have any menu items in to (Posts, Pages, etc.). I am also using the free plugin where your demo site looks like the premium one.

    Here is a sample of data.

    IID,DOI,Headline,Copy,Active,Author
    4274,07/09/14 12:00 AM,Article Title 1,”Test content number 1“,1,5
    4275,07/09/14 12:00 AM,Article Title 2,”This is test content number two“,1,8

    When I import it with “No. of posts/rows per server request” to 2 I get two Post entries called Article Title 1.

    Sorry for wrong link, you can try this free demo here. We will do the test and update you.

    After updating the plugin I am having exactly the same problem. The only solution seems to set the number of requests to 1 but as willardinteractive stated it is very time consuming. Any solution?

    This is odd behavior and not an issue with the csv or plugin. Is any way to access or look into our instance? Or a clone copy to test it in our testing environment.

    I’m not sure I understand what you mean. For your first question(if i got it right) I tried importing my data to your demo and no problem occurs.
    In my installation I tried disabling everything(add-ons, widgets and theme used default) and the problem persists. I downgraded the plugin and whenever I try to upload a file nothing happens. I also emptied my wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables same thing. I installed the plugin localy on a LAMP VM and exactly the same thing happens. I never had an issue with the previous version, this all started after the upgrade. Tell me what exactly you need from me for your testing environment because I dodn’t quite understamd what you want me to clone copy(database, plugin, wordpress instalation??)

    Also if anyone has any feedback on the same issue I will be really grateful if you provide us with a solution.

    Thanks for responding.

    I’m also having the same problem. When I import I have duplicate entries made if I enter more than 1 server request.

    Our PHP version is PHP Version 5.5.9-1

    I have a CSV file with 43 rows. When I entered 43 for the number per server request, I get 43 copies of the first row. However if I enter 1 item per server request, it keeps processing the file and I get all items. I assume it just makes 43 server requests (or however many rows are in the file).

    I am having Same problem,

    I installed Version 3.5.5 and working with it.

    Version 3.6.1 is released. Upgrade to get this issue resolved.
