Title: Error when importing links Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Error when importing links * [Toni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tools4toni/) * (@tools4toni) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/) * I am trying to copy my Link Library to another site. I exported/imported the Library Settings. When I try to import my Link Library CVS from one site to another I get only 4 links and this error: * > Warning: fopen(): Filename cannot be empty in /home/toniengl/public_html/wp- > content/plugins/link-library/link-library-admin.php on line 1303 > Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output > started at /home/toniengl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/link-library/link- > library-admin.php:1303) in /home/toniengl/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable. > php on line 1196 * I am not code literate so that error means nothing to me as far as troubleshooting. I looked at the file. All of the links are present in the file. They won’t import. * I have used this plugin without problems for years. It is one of the first ones I always install. Love it! * Thank you * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-library/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-library/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275071) * Sorry that the error is not significant. It most likely indicates a problem with PHP configuration relative to upload on your server. * You should install one of the phpInfo plugins on your wordpress site (I always recommend [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-php-info/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-php-info/)), then look at the plugin’s output under the Settings section of your site. * More specifically, look for: * – file_uploads On – upload_max_filesize 2M * If File Uploads is off or upload_max_filesize smaller that the file you are trying to upload, that would cause problems on the site. * Glad you regularly use Link Library. Please consider donating to support its development if you have never done so already. * Thread Starter [Toni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tools4toni/) * (@tools4toni) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275115) * Thank you for the quick response! I will install the plugin and see what I can figure out. I will update you then. * Oh, I have a MultiSite network. Both sites are in the same network. Does that matter? I will install the plugin and activate it per site. * I like to support developers. I do not remember if I have donated, but I will anyway – it can’t hurt. 🙂 (update – $done) * > UPDATE: upload_max_filesize 10M > the CVS file is 207k * Thread Starter [Toni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tools4toni/) * (@tools4toni) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275226) * I didn’t mention that I haven’t resolved the import issue. I just got the upload info. Any more input would be great. * I can just copy/paste the links into a page in the mean time. * Thanks * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275227) * What about the file_upload option, you did not confirm that it is on. * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275229) * I missed your update info as the site does not send out update e-mails when you do updates. It only sends out e-mails when you first post a reply. * Thread Starter [Toni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tools4toni/) * (@tools4toni) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275232) * No worries. I am looking right now for the file_upload option. I thought it was on. 4 links did import. Hang on… * Yes: * > file_uploads On * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275236) * Could you send me the file you are trying to import using my contact form at ylefebvre.ca/contact-me? * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275399) * Did you manage to import all of your links? * Thread Starter [Toni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tools4toni/) * (@tools4toni) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275412) * Oh sorry!!!!. I have multiple issues going on with my WP sites. * I will send you the file with my links today. * Thank you very much! * Thread Starter [Toni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tools4toni/) * (@tools4toni) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-importing-links/#post-6275421) * No go, I exported again but could not import. So I went to your site: * I can’t see the Captcha to submit the form on your site. I use Chrome and Firefox– I don’t have ad blocking.
