Comments on: Finally – A WordPress Plugin That Will Import CSV Feeds! http://www.affiliatestuff.co.uk/wordpress/finally-a-wordpress-plugin-that-will-import-csv-feeds/ Affiliate marketing news & articles for newbies and pros by Kirsty McCubbin Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:22:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tye http://www.affiliatestuff.co.uk/wordpress/finally-a-wordpress-plugin-that-will-import-csv-feeds/comment-page-1/#comment-9712 Tye Sun, 03 Jul 2011 23:28:40 +0000 http://www.affiliatestuff.co.uk/?p=167#comment-9712 There is a problem I get with using csv's and that is the images... it appears I have a few merchants who seem to like changing the url of the images - which of course gives me the dreaded red cross :( How does everyone get around that? Is there a plugin which downloads the images (that would be ideal) - or, well how does everyone cope with that problem?

I tried the 'csv pig' plugin and it worked perfect first time! It is easy to use a quick run through the instruction manual and I had populated my site with the data feed and everything was up and running within about half an hour. Compaired to struggling with the 'import csv' for 2 days - 'csv pig' was a godsend. I nearly did buy it because it didn't have that good a rating on the Word Press extend site. Glad it got it though! Thanks for posting your comment Gary! Just to update you – I got a refund on the ‘import csv’ plugin as I couldn’t get a reliable output.

Has anyone else had any problems with it? Thinking i will get a refund and try to find something else. It showed a lot of promise and the couple of test posts that I managed to get out of it were good and nicely formatted, however most of the time there were corruptions in the output and i didn't fancy having to sort out 10,000 plus corrupted posts - so i admit defeat and will move on!

The developer of CSV 2 POST has some impressive upgrades planned including something to do with blog too blog publishing where you can use one wordpress to publish to many others! Looks like it will be provided as part of the package in a later version at no further cost. Does CSV Import have anything like that?!

As I'm not that technical I value the service / help I get for paying a little for something. Particularly if it has functionality I can't get elsewhere. Hand on heart, I've only ever bought one paid plugin for the last reason I mentioned, it was $30 and worth every single penny! @ Mark, You'll be able to customise a merchant feed to go in there. Just change the header names. Drop me a line via my contact form if you're confused. Also, Jason is a very responsive sort of guy. I'm sure he'll see you right. @ Debbie, Why thankyou I always really appreciate it when people pop up just to say "thanks". I hope you enjoy the blog for some time to come! @ blair, I don’t really mind paying a bit for a plugin (or for a premium theme) if it is going to be fully supported.
