 * Hi, I´ve been using your plugin for a while now, buy yesterday I received a fatal
   error that I´ve never received before:
 * “Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /www/repuestosrodi.
   com/htdocs/wp/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-csv-import.0.7.3/include/woocommerce-
   csvimport-functions.php on line 224”
 * I know that version 0.7.3 isn´t the latest version, but is the one I prefer because
   of my dataset, and this error never ocurred before. I tried uninstalling and 
   reinstalling it back, but the error keeps showing.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Hello
 * I don’t know the specific answer to your question I’m afraid but I can tell you
   a couple of things that should help.
 * If you are running an old version of a plugin that was working fine and then 
   stopped even though you didn’t update it, the next logical question I think is
   did you update anything else?
 * WordPress, Woocommerce?
 * If you updated one of these and not the plugin then that could be the problem.
 * Second thing is that WooCommerce have their own support forum and ticketing process.
   I’ve used it many times and it’s very good – and quick.
 * My guess is that they will tell you to update everything – and keep it up to 
   date.
 * Otherwise you are looking to get hacked.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Hi Joel! Thanks for the tips!
 * My reason for running an old version of the plugin is simple: I arranged my dataset
   to support the csv format required for the older versions. Since version 1.0 
   was released, the format was modified, and the header is always asked, I just
   can´t understand the logic of the newer versions.
 * Anyway, I updated the plugin to its latest version and now, WP disabled the plugin
   because there is an error with its files!
 * Truly, I didn´t updated anything, I always import a couple of csv, and in the
   middle of one of those files, it just broke down. When it happened, 1 file was
   imported correctly.
 * I ended up uninstalling the plugin until I can get help to getting it to work,
   whatever version!
 * Thanks again!

 * Hi Gonza
 * If you haven’t updated anything else, not WordPress, WooCommerce or any other
   plugins then sounds like your problem is something else.
 * I haven’t used the plugin you are talking about but I had an issue with a different
   WooCommerce csv plugin a while ago that was being caused by non web safe characters
   in the data set. I’m just guessing here though. Incidentally that problem was
   then resolved in a subsequent update of the plugin – further proof if you need
   it that it’s good to keep everything up to date!
 * It’s a pain when plugins or WordPress itself updates and causes something to 
   break which you then have to spend time and effort fixing but it’s a necessary
   part of running a WordPress site.
 * Like tending a garden I guess…
 * Good luck with resolving your issue.

 * Finally found it!!!
 * The subcategories had misteriously changed from “->subcat1” to “->” so the error
   was indicating the absence of subcategorie.
 * Thanks Joel!
