3 questions/ issues

1. I am running the most current version and my post templates don't seem to save. They show up in the drop down box, but don't load when I select them.

2. I am including the description in my csv file and some of them are fairly long, but never more than a paragraph. All my posts (post pages, not just on home page) cut off at a certain point and do not display the entire description or any includes below it.

3. On step two, I grab my categories from the csv because it is easier for me to input them there, but since it is a csv, I am not sure if it is possible to use multiple categories/ tags from this method? I am sure that separating them by a comma will add more columns to the csv? Correct? Is this possible?

Thanks for your help!

Update:

I see that the templates are saving correctly in the database, I just can't figure out how to load them when I'm using the plugin. I click all over the place after I select one from the drop down and nothing happens. Also, I select one and go to the next step and it tells me:

"You must create a template to continue."

Am I missing something?

On the issue of the post cutting off, I saw it was because the description was using some quotes and apostrophes, which weren't liked to well. Can I escape these so I can just find and replace, rather than go through and manually retype parts of the description?

I have also had this problem, I've tried it with very small csv files and it has stilled happened. Are you on shared hosting?

I am on shared hosting. I figured out that this is happening anywhere there is a character that the PHP doesn't like as text. I tried to replace the apostrophes with ' but it changed them back to apostrophes and didn't like them either. What ended up working was escaping all the characters it doesn't like with a backslash, but the backslash shows in your posts, you have to have to use a search and replace plugin to correct it.

Lots of trial and error.

We'll for sure look into this and get a fix asap.

Are you saving your CSV file as UTF-8? Excel does not save as UTF-8 by default.

[jondoe0069]

I'm saving as csv. How do I convert to UTF-8?

[jondoe0069]

When I convert to utf-8 in notepad++, my link code category uploads as: LINK CODE and doesn't work properly. Is there something I'm missing?

[jondoe0069]

I worked around this by adding a column to the csv and putting an x in the data field and just not using that field.

I have only had this problem on one site, so perhaps it was save formatting issue not one specifc problem with wfreview.

[jondoe0069]

That's what I figure. I don't think it's a WFreview problem, but user error (me) with the csv.
