Title: Import and Export issues Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Import and Export issues * Resolved [watermarkedu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/watermarkedu/) * (@watermarkedu) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-and-export-issues/) * Hi Yannick, * First, this is such an essential and outstanding application for WordPress. I can’t thank you enough for putting this together. I was so sad to lose the Blogroll feature in updates to WordPress but had no idea it still existed. With your plugin, I can control and utilize the features with ease! I have donated and plan to again for your other great plugins! * The problem I am having is both with importing and exporting. I have tried to use the import feature and the template provided, but I get the following error:“ row(s) found. 0 link(s) imported successfully.” To test for errors on my end, I simply tried to re-import the template as is, meaning it only had the content you provided with the sample link for IGN.com. Is there something I am doing wrong? * Second, can I add other columns for other components of the Blogroll. In particular, I am interested in importing my Ratings which is still a feature in the manual Add Link option. * Finally, I have hit the Export Links button on the initial screen and the website processes something, but then returns to the same screen. I am not given an option to download nor do I see a file generated. Again, is there something else I should consider? * I really appreciate your assistance at your convenience. Despite these hiccups, I am still very happy with the product and the ease of adding links to my pages. Thank you again! * -Mark * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-library/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-library/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-and-export-issues/#post-6131361) * Thanks for the donation. * The main issue that people usually hit is that they are using a mac computer and the text editor they use changes all of the line endings to mac format. This format cannot be ready correctly by the web server. Get a text editor where you can make sure that line endings are set to Windows or Unix style and save the file back. You should then be able to import it. * It is not possible to add columns, but I can look at adding that import in early June. I am travelling the next two weeks, so no time to work on this. * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-and-export-issues/#post-6131363) * For your question about exporting, after you press export, the page refreshes and display a message saying “Download exported links” up top. Just right-click on that link and download. * Thread Starter [watermarkedu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/watermarkedu/) * (@watermarkedu) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-and-export-issues/#post-6131423) * Yannick, you are **awesome**! * You are exactly right… I put the CSV file into a Mac version of Microsoft Excel and it did not work. I took it over to my PC version and saved it as the file type “CSV (MS-DOS)” and it worked like a charm. * I also realized that the download link for exporting appears at the top, just as you suggested. That helped tremendously. * So again, thank you so much for this great app and I will continue to add a donation. I will look forward to future updates! * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-and-export-issues/#post-6131435) * Glad to hear that you’re on track and thanks in advance for the additional donation. I will get that rating import feature done as soon as I can. Stay tuned! * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-and-export-issues/#post-6131507) * Hi Mark, I got some time on my first evening in Beijing to implement the import and export of link ratings. Update, give it a spin and let me know if anything is out of place. * Thread Starter [watermarkedu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/watermarkedu/) * (@watermarkedu) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-and-export-issues/#post-6131523) * You are **wonderful**, thank you! It works perfectly and is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you for working on this during your trip, I hope it was not only on my behalf. I wish you the best and safe travels!
