 * Hi!
 * Great plugin I wish use on this website:
    [http://www.john-howe.com](http://www.john-howe.com)
 * I change in gb-page-import.php the comma to semicolon:
    while ( ( $data = fgetcsv(
   $handle, 2000, ‘;’, ‘”‘ ) ) !== FALSE ) {
 * But I still receive this error once I replace all ‘ with & #39 ; and import the
   file into WP:
    Your data seems to be corrupt. Saving failed and import failed.
   I’m sorry, but I wasn’t able to import entries from the CSV file. I export the
   file from mysql and then reorder the columns. Did I miss something?
 * Thx for your support.
 * Best regards,
    Dominique

 * Hi, not sure if this answer gets posted, the forums are being worked on these
   two weeks…
 * The most likely problem is that your CSV file has DOS line-endings. You could
   load it in a decent text editor and convert line-endings to UNIX. Then try again.
 * Otherwise… Did you take a look at the example CSV that is in the zipfile?

 * Hi Marcel,
 * Thx a lot for your feedback.
    I’ve converted the end of line in Notepad++ to 
   unix. My file was encoded as utf8, I change it to ainsi and it worked! Cool.
 * Thx a lot.
    Dom
 * PS: Thx for your great script.
