 * Hello, Trying to import posts but I cannot set the Unique ID. The toggle does
   not open. I have disabled all plugins and themes but error persists.
 * The error I receive is the following:
 * `Unique ID is currently empty and must be set. If you are not sure what to use
   as a Unique ID, click Auto-detect.WP All Import will create new Posts for each
   unique record in this import file.`

 * Hey [@mad2kx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mad2kx/),
 * If clicking on “Auto-detect” doesn’t populate the Unique Identifier field, another
   option would be to drag & drop elements from the right sidebar into this field&
   create one that way.
