# Export/Import issue

 * Thanks for adding the Edit Marker functionality.
 * If one exports existing marker to csv, the user_id field is missing (it should
   show whatever is shown under Author column in location). And when we import a
   new entry and fill the user_id (valid WP user), the entry is imported but in 
   location info, the Author is showing up as admin as opposed to the user_id (WP
   user). This import/export fix is necessary / critical if I want to bulk import
   locations and associate each location to user_id / Author (WP user) so that when
   that user logs in with the corresponding user_id, he can edit his location.
 * By the way, I have sent recently email to support (hello@100plugins.com) with
   no response since last month. Is this the correct email? Kindly let me know and
   if correct please reply to at least some emails.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@mvishal71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvishal71/),
 * The field “user_id” is not related to the user that created this location. In
   fact it relates to the user that has been created when the **Extend WordPress
   user registration form with „Add location“ map** feature is enabled. So in most
   cases it will be empty except you are using the mentioned feature.
 * To solve the use case you are describing, I’ve now added a “wp_author_id” field
   to the export/import. It holds the ID of the WordPress user that has created 
   this location. This will be available with the next update (Version 1.3.45).
 * Best regards,
   Daniel
