Imported links not being assigned to Category

    Hi Yannik,

    I can import links from another site to my site using “LinkLibrary – Global Options – Import/Export Links – Browse and select the importtemplate.csv – Import Links from CSV”. The Name, Link and Image url show up and are associated correctly but they do not get associated with the Category.

    In the CSV I have specified the following column headers:
    Name Image Address Address Category

    I have created a corresponding category in Linklibrary prior to importing the links. When I do the import the imported links as not assigned to the category. I had used the exact same CSV file about a month ago and it was working fine then. So I know the CSV file has been generated correctly, with the correct headers.

    Thanks
    Hil

    Is it possible that the two sites that you are trying to export and import links between are running different versions of Link Library?

    The format of the import template recently changed in Link Library. Instead of a single column called Category, you now have two columns: Category Slugs and Category Names.

    If you update the data accordingly, you should be able to import it correctly.

    Yes. I just noticed the new template.
    Worked great after I changed the column name.
    Thanks Yannick !!!
