Import Problem
-
Hello,
I am trying to import products using CSV file. But strangely, while some files are transferred, I get the following warning: “Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.”What is the reason of this ? Can you help me ? There is no problem with transferring via FTP. However, I encounter this problem in normal transfer, that is, when selecting the file from the computer and transferring it.
I’m also wondering if this might have something to do with hosting. Because in the beginning there was no problem.
Note: There is no mime constraint.
Thank you.

Can you provide a copy of the CSV file? You can use a public Google Drive or Dropbox URL so that we can check.
We’ll look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you very much for your reply.
Unfortunately this constant did not fix the problem: `define( ‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true );
`When I remove the HTML, the installation takes place. However, the problem persists with HTML, that is, with the product description. Also yes, the upload is done via FTP as well.
Should I talk to the server owner about this? Is there any alternative solution?Hello,
I have created a sample template below. I replaced the column names with the corresponding normally hook. Therefore, it may seem different to you, there is no problem there.All the links in the Product Description section work flawlessly under normal conditions.
As I said before, sometimes I import products without any problems. But sometimes i get the following warning: “Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.”In such a case, I can still upload the file, that is, the products, via FTP. But I am not installing it with the export-import tool. However, “if I delete the product description” the file (products) import without issue. Just like the file I sent you. When I delete the product description containing HTML code in this file, it can be imported without any problems.
I’m sorry for this. Can you look again please ?

DropBox IO LinkHello,
It looks like there are some CSV column names that WooCommerce doesn’t support – e.g. Product Attribute, Low Stock Quantity, Core Attribute etc… If you are using the built-in product importer, please make sure to use the correct format. You can download a sample CSV file here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/master/sample-data
Also, csv elements are generally separated by comma (,) but your CSV file uses semicolon (;) instead – in which case, you’ll need to specify that in CSV Delimiter

Hello,
Upon checking the file it will not work because of the format 🙁
You can get a copy of a valid CSV by checking the previous response from Maykato.
On the other hand, regarding the original question, please note that using HTML will flag the file, this is due to security reasons.
An alternative solution is to use a plugin like
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/disable-real-mime-check/That will help bypass the flag when the CSV contains HTML. Once you have uploaded a file properly you can disable this plugin.
I hope this helps.
