 * Something as simple as a comma in your post ruins the whole format.
 * “csv_post_title”,”csv_post_post”,”csv_post_categories”, “csv_post_tags”, “csv_post_date”
 * should be exactly that, but instead, if I have “title”,”post, more post”,”categories”
 * What it ends up being is not three but four fields filled.

 * The following file imports without any problems.
 *     ```
       "csv_post_title","csv_post_post","csv_post_categories", "csv_post_tags", "csv_post_date"
       "title","post, more post","categories"
       ```
   
 * Please read the documentation and see the sample files included with the plugin.

 * What if i import the following?
 * > “csv_post_title”,”csv_post_post”,”csv_post_categories”, “csv_post_tags”, “csv_post_date”
   > “
   > title1″,”post’ more post”,”categories” “title2”,”post – more post – “,”categories”
 * I’m having issue with character like “<“, “-“, “‘”

 * Please ignore my previous post.
 * I found out these character that actually cause the error
 * – ’ “ ”
 * Example:
 *     ```
       "csv_post_title","csv_post_post","csv_post_categories", "csv_post_tags", "csv_post_date"
       "title’1","post “more post” ","categories"
       "title’2","post – more post – ","categories"
       ```
