    No suggestions? Is there something I need to add? Or does anyone think that child pages are disabled somewhere?

    Okay, so I realized my htaccess file had been set to some pretty low permissions by my host who needed to update it because of a DOS that occurred the day after I upgraded to 3.5.

    Now, when I try to update a plugin, I’m asked for FTP information, which was already defined in my config.php file and that there is an error connecting via FTP on the back end.

    I have updated the FTP password with my host, input the new password in the wp-config.php file, and I’m still having problems. Stopped defining it there, so I could input it in WordPress. Still nothing. Even used the old password.

    All the while my FTP client, cyberduck, has no problem connecting and using the old password. And I can upload new files to the server this way as well.

    Oh another thing, if you’re on a Mac, you may need to save the file as a Windows Comma Separated Value file, not just a regular one. I’m on a Mac too.

    Hey, I’m adding what I learned yesterday when importing, because I had the same problem. Also, it’s a good idea to export what users you do have and then clear the contents except for the first row to get a good template for importing.

    1: I used a formula to make usernames in excel combining first and last name. The forumla for excel is =CONCATENATE(A2,”.”,B2) but replace your cells with the right names. Mine was C2 and D2. I put a . in the middle because CIMY didn’t like the _ in the username. Hit enter, don’t click anything else or you’ll add a cell or change the cell name.

    2. I then clicked on the bottom right corner and dragged my select box downward through the column to create usernames for everyone in my list.

    3. I then went back to the top, right clicked or control clicked if you’re on a Mac on the column. I copied it. Then right clicked again to paste. A small paste block appears in the top right corner of the column. I clicked on that and said Values Only. I then saved the file.

    4. When I went to import, where it says text delimiter, I deleted the double quotation mark. Then I imported the CSV file. And voila! Takes a while, but it was done!

    Okay, I got rid of the double fields. I basically added them twice when I hit save changes twice, with Show first and last name checked off.

    And fieldset titles I’ll just rename them. I thought the Field Set name was to set the import column name, But I was wrong. Nevermind.

    RESOLVED!
