I am trying to upload a csv file of events. The csv file is on my desktop.
\nWhen I click on the “Upload” button, I get this message:
\n{“success”:false,”data”:{“message”:”Please provide the file that you wish to import.”}}<\/p>\n

I see from your documentation that you say: “We have step-by-step instructions for importing data from a CSV file in another post.”
\nThis makes me wonder if the csv file needs to somehow be already in WordPress in order for the “Upload” button to work.<\/p>\n
