 * Hi, great plugin.
 * There seems to be a problem when a parent category already exists, the term doesn’t
   get added. So for example if the term Yamaha already exists in the taxonomy then
   the child terms don’t seem to be added.
 * Yamaha
    -SRV250 Yamaha -Tricity MW125 Yamaha -XS1100 Yamaha -YFZ450 R

 * Think i found the problem – looks like the uri is too long – i was trying to 
   enter around 1000 terms at a time from debug i got
 * Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 414 (Request-URI
   Too Long) (21:57:04:684 | error, network)
    at wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
 * can anything be done to get around this (apart from entering less terms of course!)?
 * thanks

 * Hi, sorry for late here. I was too busy with my other projects.
 * It’s a known issue that you can’t add too those parent terms which already exists.
   Info here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-add-terms/other_notes#Known-issues](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulk-add-terms/other_notes#Known-issues)
 * I’ll try to fix it soon with an update. Meanwhile, try to remove the terms that
   already exists and input in this format:
 *     ```
       Yamaha
       -SRV250
       -Tricity MW125
       -XS1100
       -YFZ450 R
       ```
   
 * Cheers
