* Hi!
* When importing CSV files with WP All Import, there’s an option to decode Html
entities (so that you don’t see for example < b > text < / b > etc. but simply**
text** )
* Your add-on is great, however when importing data to a tab, html entities are
not decoded.
* Is there a way to transform them easily or perhaps tweak the plugin ?
* Thank you !

* Hi [@strozzapr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/strozzapr/),
* We should and will add that to our plugin. It makes a lot of sense. I will make
a ticket for it. Thank you for letting us know.
* In the meantime, if you wanted to, you could wrap your Custom Product Tabs content
in a custom function that runs the `html_entity_decode()` function. Let me know
if that’s something you’d like more information about.
* Cheers,
Kevin.

* Thank you very much Kevin for your quick response!
* Wrapping my content in that function did the trick.
* Cheers!

* Awesome. I’d still like to add it to the plugin but that’s an easy workaround
for now. Let me know if anything else comes up.

Description) I work on a Website Update now and wc offers the build in Contact
Form. Which Id Love to use. However the new shortcode has my (the recieving)
E-Mail adress in it. How can a non coder like I am import from .csv with a @ –

* Hi Sandra,
* I am not sure what the problem is. How are you importing? What is breaking? Are
you using this plugin?
* Thank you,
Kevin.

* Hi Kevin, I‘m sorry. Its WP All Import Pro Woocommerce Add-On. As I understand
the documentary I cannot import Special characters via .csv .
* And the woocommerce contact form shortcode starts:
* [contact-form to=„email@address.net“ subject=„
* And so forth. Error message is:“Post Content Template invalid“
* Thanks for your reply,
Sandra

* Yeah it’s because you’re using a shortcode. WP All Import can’t process shortcode
arguments very well. I am not a WP All Import person so I don’t know how to get
around it. You’ll need to contact the WP All Import/Soflyy team.

* Oh alright, so it is pure luck the old form works fine. I will reach out to soflyy.
Thanks for your feedback, Kevin. Much appreciated 🙂
