    I could really use a little bit of your direction. I can make a donation
    to you for your help in getting this working properly. I’s using the
    Jewelry Theme. I’m at the import products stage. I have a few questions or
    items I’m unclear about. First of all, I created an excel document with
    the correct headers from your documentation (at least I hope so). I have
    attached this file for your review. Could you please review the import
    file to make sure I did it correctly.

    There are two main issues I am unclear about:

    1. What is info goes in the “csv_post_type” and do I need this during the
    import?
    2. As it relates to images:
    A. Should I use the WP images to upload all the images first or should I
    just upload them to some directory via FTP (upload > pictures) and dump
    all of my files in there then use that folder as the absolute url in the
    csv file?. Will the csv uploader then pull these images from this url and
    place them in the media library?
    B. I notice two different pieces of code as it relates to images and I’m
    not sure what the difference is or which one to use. “image_thumb”
    “featured_img”?

    I’ve also attached screenshots of all my taxonomies, and post tags for
    your review. As for the categories, they can be seen at:
    https://www.egolditalia.com

    One last thing, I tested the file as is without the image url and it
    returned the following message:

    “Skipped 63 posts (most likely due to empty title, body and excerpt).
    Imported 0 posts and 0 comments in 0.07 seconds.”

    If you look at the excel file, none of those fields are empty. I’ve also
    added theme specific items that I will need imported. I’ve checked with
    the theme developer and she says all the headings look correct. Any ideas
    as to why this is not working? There was only 1 post entered into the test
    import – the same file I sent to you minus the csv_post_type and
    featured_img. Also I had the column image_thumb in the file but no
    content. I’m using a mac, so could the problem be that I can’t save the
    file to a utc-8 format? To accomplish this, I opened the excel file in a
    text editor program converted the data to plain text then save it in the
    correct format.

    I really appreciate your help and insight into this part of the process.
    It’s obviously the most important and thus I turn to you for guidance. I

    hope I made my questions clear and concise and hopefully easy to
    understand, if not I’m sorry!! ??
