    Hello,
    When I import data from csv, I see that one custom field is not imported for a few custom posts whereas others are. To be precise-
    I have a list of preschools.Preschool is a custom post I have created. The custom fields consists of address, contact numbers, e-mail ids. For a few posts , address field is not imported. It shows blank. May I know why? Are there any particular rules like quotes, spaces, length of field etc., that are being violated?

    Do you have any examples of a row that imported correctly and a row that did not?

    The example files should give you examples of all the rules. Field data is generally enclosed in double-quote characters (“) and quotes within that data can be escaped by doubling them up (“”).

    "So this is ""data"" with a quoted word"

    You can break lines in the middle of the strong too. Without seeing what you are trying to import, it is difficult to say what may be going wrong.

    Thank you very much for responding. Actually all my fields were downloading. There was a mistake when I was converting from excel. When I used the method suggested from Takuro Hishikawa(Plugin Author), I converted my file to Open office spread sheet and then to CSV , I got the correct results.
    Sorry to bother you.
