Inconsistent Import Results: Categories

  • Hello,

    I’ve been working with a csv file, importing it into CataBlog.

    I find I end up with inconsistent results with categories when importing.

    For example, the first time I imported the csv, some of the categories for items that were present in the csv were not then present in the library. After 3 attempts, then all the categories came through.

    Every time I import, I use the “Replace All Data” option.

    In the instances where there are missing categories, there are no errors shown when the import completes, it’s like CataBlog just doesn’t see them. Also, there’s no rhyme or reason to which ones are left out.

    Are these issues maybe caused by some sort of memory setting on the server or something? It is a managed, dedicated server.

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Hi mbrsolution!

    I know how to format the csv, it’s not an issue with that. I can import the same exact csv file and get different results. It seems to work itself out after 2 or three imports…but it’s strange I have to do it multiple times for it to work.

    Okay, try this if you can and your website does not have a lot of traffic. Disable all other plugins except CataBlog and carry out another import if that still does not work then try a different theme like one of WordPress default theme.

    Let me know how you go.

    I just thought of something, which browser are you using? Is the current browser that you are using up to date?

    Hi ddach69,

    Since I am unable to reproduce your problem, will you please post a snippet of CSV that exhibits the problematic behavior you are seeing. Thanks.

    I have one other question, do you reset CataBlog or check the “Replace All Data” checkbox between your imports? If not, then your importing new categories on top of other categories, which possibly do or don’t exist. Now CataBlog is suppose to handle this gracefully, but it is possible that by importing multiple times over the same file you have found a bug.

    Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated, thanks.
