 * I got this message while importing custom fields with “skip row”. Category worked
   fine.
 * I wanted to import for testing purposes. I changed the suffix to the new name
   like from gd_x1 to gd_x2.
 * That is the error message?
 * Total 33 item(s) found.
 * 33 item(s) ignored due to already exists.

 * Hi Martin,
 * From what you describe i would guess you left the ID, in this case it will try
   to update the listing, if you want to create NEW listings, please delete the 
   ID column.
 * Please see our docs for more details: [https://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/article/159-import-export](https://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/article/159-import-export)
 * Thanks,
 * Stiofan

 * The export of “custom fields” shows no column for an id. When exporting categorys
   of places, that export has an column for an id. But custom field does not. Maybe
   that is the reason for the issue?
