The last time I did this was mid-September and everything worked fine. I tried importing a new file on 9\/30 and there were several errors in the way that events were imported. Out of 50 events, only 35 were imported. Of the 35 that were imported, about 10-15 of these were imported incorrectly. There are a variety of issues that are happening:<br \/>\n-Events that are marked as &#8220;Special&#8221; as the Category are supposed to be automatically pulled to my home page. That is not happening.<br \/>\n-Some events are showing up as &#8220;All Day&#8221; events even though they have a start and end time and are only a few hours long<br \/>\n-Descriptions from other events are ending up in the wrong event<br \/>\n-The Cost Box info is not displaying the cost, it is just pulling random copy from other cells\/events<br \/>\n-For events that have the same name (even though they have different event dates), many of these are not showing up&#8230;only a few of them (seems to be no rhyme or reason)<\/p>\n<p>I restored to a previous version on my live site to get rid of all the errors and had to go in and manually update the events (which was a huge pain), but you can look at my staging site (info below) to see what is happening. The first example is on 10\/7 on the calendar page&#8211;the first event, Teen Night @ Kroc Center. I will also attach the csv file that I used in a private reply below. <\/p>\n<p>All of my calendar plug-ins are up-to-date as are all other plug-ins on my website.<\/p>\n<p>Please advise how this issue can be resolved so when I need to import my November events I can do so with a CSV file and not have to do them manually. (Also, please know that I&#8217;m not a developer and am not terribly comfortable with all the back-end sutff, so I will need assistance in layman&#8217;s terms and if anything with coding is needed I may have to bring in my developer to help.)<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1171698","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Importing CSV File not working properly -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/importing-csv-file-not-working-properly\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Importing CSV File not working properly -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I typically import csv files monthly with events.
