Try the following:
apples,"apple,apple pie"
carrots,carrot
lemons,"lemon*,lemon juice"
oranges,orange
The first keyword is the name, the following value separated by a comma are related keywords. If you have more of them, they have to be enclosed in quotes. The same applies if the keyword consists of more words separated by spaces – see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values#Basic_rules_and_examples.
Sorry about that bug, it’ll be fixed in the next version.
Thank you very much but, unfortunately that is not working.
I tried also with all records composed of a keyword and a related word (both composed of a single word), but I did not succeed.
When will the next release?
You are using the version 1.7, right? Have you tried importing the keywords from my previous post?
The next version will be released sometimes in June. Keyword import should work just fine in the current version, though (assuming you’re importing files with the correct structure).
APT v1.7 isn’t able to recognize the structure, so it’s possible it might tell you that the import was successful even if it wasn’t – that was the bug I was referring to.
However, when I try importing keywords from your original post, the plugin does import something – this: https://devtard.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/screenshot-2.png
Could you please post here a screencast or a few screenshots so that I have a better idea of what’s going on?
Yes, I’m using 1.7 version.
If I try to import the keywords from your first post, the “related words” which are quoted are saved as keywords (instead of “realted words”) and if I remove the quote, only the first related word is saved.
In addition I found that my import failed because some of the keyword contained accented letters.
Is there a fix for these issues?
Thanks a lot in advance.
UTF-8 characters are supported, so this shouldn’t be a problem. What editor do you use to save these keywords as CSV?
Could you please send me the file with the keywords you are unable to import? My Gmail ID is “devtard”.
By the way, there’s another way to import keywords: You can change the option “Keyword editor mode” to “Single input field for all keywords”. Please try to save the keyword sample from my post via the textarea that will appear in the Keyword editor and let me know what happens.
I use MS Excel to prepare the keywords.
I’ve sent to your mail a file with some of them (however, now I solved by entering them manually one by one. There were not many).
Then I tried the “Single input field for all keywords” option and it seems to work fine 🙂
Many thanks
I use MS Excel to prepare the keywords.
That might be the problem. When I opened the file you sent me in a simple text editor (you can use Notepad or something like that), I saw that the first 5 lines weren’t CSV, and that’s why the import has failed. When these lines are deleted, everything should be okay.
The next version will be able to recognize the structure and tell you what’s going on instead of assuming that the file is CSV (even if it really isn’t) and attempting import, so hopefully there will be less confusion; sorry about that.
