 * What is the easiest way to assign page parents with this plugin?
 * I’m trying to use pages because of the way wordpress handles the permalinks. 
   I am trying to achieve the following:
 * root.com/states/cities/specificcity/
 * What would the easiest way to achieve this url structure with this plugin be?
 * On the surface it seems parent pages and subpages would be. Any suggestions?

 * NickReese: At the moment, you can assign a common parent to all categories in
   one CSV file by using the category parent dropdown in the plugin’s UI.
 * In the future, I might add a more flexible way to assign parents to categories,
   similar to the syntax for hierarchical taxonomies. I didn’t get much feedback
   on the plugin’s handling of taxonomies, so I don’t know yet how usable that syntax
   is in practice.

 * I am also trying to set a Parent for a PAGE using the CSV. Is there a way to 
   do it?
 * By the way custom fields just work fine. Is there a way to set a Page Template
   using custom fields in the CSV format for this plugin?

 * erachnid: The current version of the plugin does not allow you to set parents
   for pages or specify page templates.

 * For those of us that use this as a development tool, those two features would
   be EXTREMELY handy. I hope you will add them to your next update.

 * Adding my vote for a parent / child page support. I regularly deploy WP sites
   in which I create all the page structures and my clients come in behind me and
   start adding their own content. I’m working on a site right this minute that 
   has 7 parent pages and 40+ child pages. Being able to create those in one fell
   swoop would be a real blessing! 🙂 Thanks again for a great plug-in though!!!
