Can't Import CSV File

[jonathancrowe]

With the new update (3.0), I can't import a CSV file. I went to Options and changed it to the Wordpress (safer but slower) option and still nothing. The import just stays in cue and the status says Pending. Can anybody help me do this?

Thanks!

I am having this same problem also. Have installed a fresh copy of WP 2.8.4 today, installed the plugin, all seems fine, but doesnt actually create any posts, just says 'pending'

You guys need to add the Cron job to your server. Look on your control panel for a Cron jobs (or similar) icon.

Some hosts use php, some use wget. Try WGET first.

If you have problems, please post the hosting provider you use and we'll post instructions for that host.

Setting up the Cron is a one-time thing.

Thanks for the quick reply.

OK I have setup a cron with my hosting.

Now this is setup (i have set it up to run every morning at 2am) does this mean if I just add a new feed I have to run the cron maually for it to import? (or wait till 2am)

I have run it manually and all seems to be creating posts fine now! :)

You can setup the cron * * * * * (every min, every hour, every day, every week, every month! and it'll take less than 60 seconds to run the import!

We recommend this!

I have Site5 as my hosting and I setup the Cron Job with all asterisks for time variables. Meaning a * for Minute, Hour, Day, Month, etc. And I put in the path both the PHP and the GET commands and still nothing.

Any tips?

My guess is if you setup an email for cron job success reports, you'd get a big ole' error. We found a bug in the version today and are working this afternoon to fix. Should have 3.0.1 release this evening sometime. Sorry for the delay!
