Title: Import future issue Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Import future issue * Resolved [Knud K.Petersen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knudkp/) * (@knudkp) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-future-issue/) * Hi! * First of all, thanks for a great plugin. I guess this is wot I need. I already set up the user-submission thing, and it works so fine. * Then, I would like to import all my links into the system. Wether i use different CSV (versions) types, it won’t let me import. I use Excel 2010 to import your template (and seperates with either commas or semicolons) and when I then I filles in all my data I save it as a CSV file (either a DOS CSV or one of the other versions possible). * Bpoth way doenst seem to work. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-library/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-library/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 25 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-future-issue/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-future-issue/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-future-issue/#post-6750654) * Could you provide me with the CSV file so I can try loading it on my side?

If you look at the original template, you will see that it used commas. * Look at the Excel export options to change the delimiter and you should be able to load the file once it uses commas. * Please consider donating to support this plugin’s development. * Thread Starter [Knud K.Petersen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knudkp/) * (@knudkp) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-future-issue/#post-6750838) * WOW – now I got lucky. All my links are now imported via the plugin … (with no error). However it is strange – Excel 2010 on my computer does not allow me to export with a comma – so i had to use: “[http://www.zamzar.com/convert/xlsx-to-csv/”](http://www.zamzar.com/convert/xlsx-to-csv/”); to convert – and it helped! * But but but … I have a question, * In the field “name” I simply just wrote link and in the field “description” i put the name data – silly me. * Can i export (fix it) and then do the import again? * thanks Knud * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-future-issue/#post-6750839) * Yes, if the URL is the same, it should update the entry instead of creating new ones. Maybe just test it with one or two first, then do all of them. * Please consider donating to support this plugin’s development. * Thread Starter [Knud K.Petersen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knudkp/) * (@knudkp) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-future-issue/#post-6750840) * I would like to donate!!!
