Hi there V.A.,

Thanks for reaching out to us! I’ll help you here…

Are you referring to a CSV upload of events?

Keeps telling me error Evenementen naam,(Event name) Begin start datum(Start date) are required.

Make sure you actually have an Event Name and Star Date columns! Be sure to check the form in this KB article → CSV Importer: Fields and Example Files.

One more thing, are the deleted events still in the site trash? Are you re-importing the same events?

If the above doesn’t help please follow-up with the file you are trying to upload and I’ll test it on my end,
Thanks,
Nico

I am using microsoft excel I save the file as an .csv separeted collums file.
I have an event name. Deleted my trash and cache. Tried again still I get the two errors.
The funny thing is I importated at home on my mac and the import did work.

Only the problem is I don,t what happend. Because I still can’t import the list with excel at work.

Thanks for following up!

This sounds pretty strange but it’s a clue to discover what’s going on! I couldn’t find any related bugs logged in our internal system that relates to this.

Are you using a different browser? Maybe the browser has some extensions affecting this? Can you re-try using ‘incognito mode’?

Also, are you generating the file again in your Mac before importing? Or is it the exact same file?

Thanks,

I’am using chrome at work at home I use safari browser.

The file is generated on my mac, that worked , was generated in the software called Libre-office.
Then I transported through google drive to my work.
Adjusted the file because needed to get rid of a view duplicate fields. Saved it as .csv Tried to imported but din’t work. It had nothing todo with the values within the fields. Because I deleted all events, organizer, venue, etc emptied my cache. Tried to upload the files again. But did not work.

Question when I delete all events, organizer, venue, site cache etc. My database is then clean right?

mmmm I’m still puzzled by the issue! What process are you doing when it works? Any difference?

If you are deleting them from the trash it should be clean. Maybe some metadata might persist in the tables. There are a lot of good plugins to clean up the database after bulk deleting posts (or events in this case). But I guess the issue doesn’t related to the database because you can make it work from your home Mac and not from your office computer, which points to a file or browser issue. Am I following correctly?

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico
