 * I’ve now tried everything I can think of to import and nothing works. I continually
   get “Invalid data types detected in the data type row (2nd row). Please try again.”
   I’ve even went back and made EVERYTHING text and it still won’t import. I’ve 
   tried setting the values properly and updated the second row, still have the 
   issue. I’ve even went in and deleted all by a couple rows/columns… still the 
   error shows up.
 * Also, if you get the error the wait icon stays loaded and you have to reload 
   the page to try again.
 * It would be incredibly helpful if the error message was a little more detailed.

 * Hi [@linked30](https://wordpress.org/support/users/linked30/),
 * ​Sorry to hear about the difficulties encountered.
 * The second row of the source file should have the data types defined for all 
   columns. Please follow this guide: [https://docs.themeisle.com/article/1224-invalid-data-type-detected-2nd-row-import-from-file](https://docs.themeisle.com/article/1224-invalid-data-type-detected-2nd-row-import-from-file)
 * Hope it helps and let me know if you require any further assistance.
