    Hello,

    I am testing the free version, so I imported a list of shops via csv, but it failed as the field in my csv were not corectly labeled.

    This brings me to 2 questions :

    1- Where can I get a sample of an import file ? ( I Couldn’t find one in the doc).

    2- Do I have to import one listing for places, then one listing for users, then one listing for shops ? Or just one single import for all will do?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Create the CSV you need by exporting listings, as described here:

    https://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/article/463-csv-imports-useful-tips

    Each CPT will have a different export file, so, you cannot put more than one CPT into a single file.

    GD does not import users, but, if you mean some sort of member profile that is a listing, then yes, you will need to add a sample listing for that CPT, export it, then merge your data into that exported CSV.

    Hello, thanks you for your answer.

    I have read the doc here https://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/article/463-csv-imports-useful-tips, unfortunately it doesn’t give any information about a mapping or filed labelleing to import mass shop in the directory.

    The problem is : when I try to import a shop listing with names, adresses and emails, GD doesn’t accept it, the error message says that the fields names in the import file are not correct.

    Do I have to follow a template with specific fields and colonnes ?

    Moreover, is there a sample of import file I could start with ?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    If you have added custom fields the easiest thing todo is to add a listing the normal way with all fields filled out, then export it and remove the ID column. This will give you the perfect sample CSV for your site 🙂

    Let me know if you have any issues.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
