 * Hi!
    I have problems importing my images showing me this:
 * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/evllp6U)
 * They are about 500 products so it is difficult for me to choose 1 per 1. Is it
   possible to solve this?
 * My CSV files are 2 because I’ve tried also another plugin but `woocommerce-product-
   export.csv` works better

 * Thank you!

 * Howdy!
 * If you are using the default import/export option through WooCommerce here:
 * [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/)
 * Then the following image rules apply:
 * * Images need to be pre-uploaded or available online to import to your store.
   *
   External URLs are supported and imported into the Media Library if used. * You
   can define the filename if the image already exists in the Media Library.
 * Also, it looks like you have multiple images designated in `images` column of
   the CSV like so:
 * `https://www.maticshop.it/benvenuto/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Notebook-HP-EliteBook-
   8440p-Core-I5-1.jpg | https://www.maticshop.it/benvenuto/wp-content/uploads/2017/

   www.maticshop.it/benvenuto/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Notebook-HP-EliteBook-8440p-
   Core-I5.-1.jpg`
 * And I even see issues with the format (example: the first image link ends with`..
   jpg` and should be `.jpg`, etc.) – You need to make sure the image source links
   are all correct.
 * The fixed version of the image import should look like this:
 * `https://www.maticshop.it/benvenuto/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Notebook-HP-EliteBook-
   8440p-Core-I5-1.jpg, https://www.maticshop.it/benvenuto/wp-content/uploads/2017/
   03/Notebook-HP-EliteBook-8440p-Core-I5.jpg, https://www.maticshop.it/benvenuto/
   wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Notebook-HP-EliteBook-8440p-Core-I5-1-1.jpg, https://
   www.maticshop.it/benvenuto/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Notebook-HP-EliteBook-8440p-
   Core-I5.-1.jpg`
 * Using `,` by default to separate the image sources.
 * Try that, then let us know if that works. 🙂

 * Hi! [@dynamiczach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dynamiczach/),
 * seems like something that takes time. I mean the solution is also in my opinion,
   but doing it on 500 products seems like a waste of time … I mean I’ll finish 
   in 1 month. Isn’t there a faster way? At the bottom of my old site, the images
   are visible so I imagined that there would be no problem. I think it was the 
   export problem that created these format errors …
 * However, if there is no faster solution I will do so and update you. Thanks so
   much

 * Howdy!
 * I’m not aware of a faster solution, but you should be able to search through 
   the CSV to help quickly catch any formatting errors (ex: `..jpg`), and you should
   be able to do a “find/replace” for any `|` formatting to change it to `,`, which
   will also save time over doing it manually.
