Is there a limit to the number of items that can update?

    I tried to upload a csv with about 800 rows. They were all updates, in other words, I filled the ID field with id’s of pages that already existed. The upload went fine and the plugin ran, but instead of updated the posts based on ID, it created all new posts. I deleted about 300 rows, and tried again with exactly 500 rows, plus the header row. It worked as expected.

    I don’t know if this is a bug or limitation in the functions and classes the plugin uses, but the FAQ doesn’t seem to mention it. Anyway, I had to run a SQL query to find and delete all these extra posts (a risky thing I’d rather not have to do again).

    For now, unless the developer says it is fixed, I recommend you do not try to update any posts with a csv that contains more than 500 rows.

    This limitation is also exists in official WordPress importer. It is from php configuration, so “500” is not important number. If you use more powerful webserver, you may import more than 500 posts.
