Featured images not showing

Can you attach a sample csv for further help?

Hi @smackcoders,

Thanks.

However, I worked out that it was a permission issue.

It is working perfectly now.

Thanks for the update

Maybe you could provide some more information about your solution, since others (like me) have the same problem.

Which folder did you change permissions from that fixed your issue?

Your wp-content/uploads folder must be writable. If not change the permission.

Hi. I’m still having trouble with the Featured Image for a Product type. My folder permissions are all Writable (777), including wp-content, uploads, and a folder I created called “products”. Everything works great except the Feature Product image does not show. I’m using WordPress 3.5.2. Any help or insight?

I found that mine would not work unless I included the full path in my spreadsheet. For example:

https://domain.name/wp-content/uploads/image-name.jpg

@jamesict, Yes exactly. The featured image should be mentioned as full url path and should be writable . In general it can be also an external domain url path where you can upload all your images that are to be mapped before importing the content. This is an easy simple process comparing to importing images to wp media and setting it as a featured image one by one.

Also ensure that these images exists and downloadable. Otherwise it crash the import with an “warning: copy() [function.copy]: unable to access”

Thank you all for the feedback. I was using the full path and still having the problem. To ensure the path is correct, I pasted the url into a browser and it displayed the image correctly. Still a mystery as to why the Featured Image is not appearing. If anyone else has ideas, I would appreciate it! Thanks again.

@jhample, can you provide the link of an image that not importing? Also check your media folder have the image imported.

Sure. The full path to the image is: https://s166042.gridserver.com/wp-content/uploads/products/high-res-BRYANT_SQUARE_PETITE_featured.jpg

Which I have in my CSV. This is for a MarketPress product, so I am mapping to the “CF: mp_file” field. As I mentioned, all the data works GREAT. Only missing piece is the Featured Image. All folders in the path have write permissions.

@jhample, as from recent testing in our live demo the featured image was imported with success. Kindly refer this test import link https://demo.smackcoders.com/demowptwo/?p=1443. But it is default wordpress post not the marketpress or custom field. Just import the image with normal post and check.

So the final conclusion is there is no issues with folder permission or full url path. Only the reason that how marketpress handles the featured image as custom fields.

Thank you for the prompt replies! Yes, I see your point. I’m wondering if you or anyone else might have a solution or know what MarketPress calls a featured image so that I can use a custom import field. My client will have thousands of products and I want to be able to import all, with featured images at the same time. MarketPress is a popular eCommerce solution so if anyone has an idea how to resolve this, it will help me greatly … and maybe others as well. Thanks!

You can expect this to solved in future versions, but i am not sure with the timeline. Because we are already engaged with a set of features that are already in pipeline. Any how i am adding this in our tracker. Thanks again for the suggestions.
