    I have imported posts, plugin works wonderful except the “ID” column.
    1.For example, before imported a post , I set the “ID” value like “301”(not existed postID number), while published, this post’s id is not “301”. Look like post’s id is generated automatically, but not controlled by “ID” column.
    2.If I set “ID” as an existing postID before imported, that existed post won’t be updated, but a new post will be published, and the new post have a postID generated automatically.
    I think i need help.

    It might be a problem with your csv data. Could you try import with field name “post_id” instead of “ID”?

    I think your are right, there is really something wrong with my csv data .Because I just tested your “sample.csv” file with my wordpress, it works good .
    Before imported, I have edited the csv data with microsoft office excel 2007. Did Excel cause this problem？

    Probably. I recommend you to try LibreOffice for editing spreadsheets and export csv.
