 * I am having a problem importing my csv file. It has over 600 files. Every time
   I test the import, it says it is fine. However, when I run the actual import,
   it crashes WordPress every single time. Then, once the site has been restored
   by my web host, it only shows about 200 files in the directory. Please advise.
   Are there characters I should not use in the csv file? If so, why doesn’t the
   test import catch them?
