 * Hi Takuro,
 * If I import a CSV with 1000 posts it works perfectly, but if I set a thumbnail
   path it fails after about 180 posts.
 * Question – do all images need to exist on the server? I might be missing an image?
   Will this cause the import to fail?
 * Thanks,
    Dave
 * P.S. I’ve tried various CSV importers and this is by far the simplest and most
   reliable, so thanks!

 * “do all images need to exist on the server?” – No.
 * I think you got a server timeout error. please increase max_execution_time value
   of php.
