    Hi there.

    I’m currently running your plugin on WP 4.5.1 and as far as i’ve a backup of a former guestbook, I’m having some issues while trying to import.

    Here’s what i’ve done :
    1 – I’ve generated and entry on a brand new GwolleGuestbook install
    2 – i’ve exported the database from your plugin, as a CSV file containing my entry of step1
    3 – I’ve rebuilt my old database as a CSV file according to what GwolleGuestbook should be waiting for on an import such as (id,author_name,author_email,author_origin,author_website,author_IP,author_host,content,datetime,isspam,ischecked,is trash,admin_reply)

    But anytime i’m trying to import it, i get the same message “It seems your CSV file is from an export that is not compatible with this version of Gwolle-GB.”

    Can you help by telling me what format is required ?
    Thanks in advance for helping.

    Hi,
    Does the file have UNIX line-endings? If it has DOS line-endings it will fail.

    If you cannot get it resolved, could you send it to [email protected] ? I can have a look at it.

    Hi Marcel,

    Can I send you a csv file too?
    I think I’m running into the same problem.

    Kind regards,

    Hello Marcel,

    I’m also finding difficulties editing and combining older guestbook entries. Probably the problem is the unix based csv file wich won’t match excel 2016 for Mac. Numbers opens the file readable but when after editing an exported to csv the plugin wil not recognize the file format.

    Editpad Pro is able to mix up different OS break lines, but not available for Mac.

    Please help ??
