I found an example in an earlier post. * Would be useful to include in your code examples. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] CSV export has mismatch between headers and data](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-export-has-mismatch-between-headers-and-data/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/csv-export-has-mismatch-between-headers-and-data/#post-14122197) * OK, problem sorted. * The issue was caused by residual data in the database from a deleted plugin. All the redundant data now deleted and the problem has gone away. * For interest, the CSV file being generated contained an additional copy of “display_name” field in the middle of the old plugin fields. There were no corresponding fields in the data rows. I assume having duplicate column names was the issue. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Function request – ignore embedded return chars in CSV export](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/function-request-ignore-return-char-in-csv-export/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/function-request-ignore-return-char-in-csv-export/#post-14121722) * Ah, this appears to be an issue with Excel. * If I use a regular comma separated file – Excel handles embedded return chars correctly. If I use an alternative delimiter – it breaks the lines at the return chars. * LibreOffice works just fine. * Many thanks for your time and clarification. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Import stopped working recently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/#post-13638345) * .. also Line 238/239 for a similar alert. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Import stopped working recently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/#post-13638342) * OK, I have found the problem. * I have found that a key alert (user will be skipped) is not being shown. Line 230/231 of Importer.php The quotes around the “%s” in the error string means the final alert string is malformed and so fails to display the alert. * It appears that my import is failing because it does not handle having an empty‘ role’. But that’s a problem for another day .. * I can now at least import my data and move forward. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Import stopped working recently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/#post-13635903) * Well this is even more strange. * I have tried to use the plugin on both a single site (fresh installation of WP and the plugin) and my multisite. Different browsers. These sites are on different hosting platforms. I have tried 3 different CSV files with different column names. I have tried adding new users and updating existing users. * None seem to update existing user data nor create any new users. * Perhaps this could be an issue with my local system?? Are there are any specific debugging/checks I can make to track this down? I am very happy to work within the code. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Import stopped working recently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/#post-13635648) * No. I have the setting to Update existing users = Yes. &  Update roles = No. * See [options settings here](https://www.dropbox.com/s/4yey8k2pbklocac/csv-import-settings.JPG?dl=0) * I have even tried turning this off and back on again. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Import stopped working recently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/#post-13635549) * [Snapshot of the results screen.](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ib3hkgmxgomrblt/csv-import.JPG?dl=0) * The row of headers matches the CSV file OK. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Import stopped working recently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-stopped-working-recently/#post-13634778) * Nothing is being imported.

I read the documentation, but I took it to mean it only applied to creating new users, where of course you’d need to allocate a site id. * Anyway, I’ve added an extra column ‘blogs’ to my CSV file and populated with the blog_id. But, the metadata for an existing user is still not being imported and updated. * Any other suggestions? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!] Maps stopped being located](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-stopped-being-located/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-stopped-being-located/#post-13605560) * Thanks for this suggestion. * Everything is up-to-date. Installed WP Safe Mode, switched to TwentyTwenty theme– EM is working perfectly. I can add locations. Great. Switched back to my normal theme – all OK. Removed WP Safe Mode and back to original config.

It works OK.

No errors reported. * One thing Google Cloud Console shows a warning about OAuth ==> “Remember to configure the OAuth consent screen with information about your application.” I didn’t think API credentials needed this. - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Pods - Custom Content Types and Fields] Pods creating spurious CPT on install](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pods-creating-spurious-cpt-on-install/) * Thread Starter [ascdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ascdev/) * (@ascdev) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pods-creating-spurious-cpt-on-install/#post-13567186) * The problem was related somehow to my Chrome browser caching. Switching to Edge, did not replicate the the problem. This dev work was done on a staging site online. I am still not entirely sure where Pods was reading the post type data from. I thought I had cleared all possible caches in browser and server, but clearly missed something in Chrome.
