    I followed your steps in the video. I downloaded the sample .csv file, filled it in and uploaded it. It uploaded 100% but when I clicked on the meetings page I get a 404. Any ideas?

    Please help. It looks like a great app and I’m excited to use it. Thank you.

    Hi @roxannabrock,

    The most common cause I’ve seen for this is that the URL of the website changed at some point and all of the links did not get updated. In your wp-admin, go to Settings—>General and check to make sure those URLs make sense. Did you recently change the URL of the website or add https?

    Sometimes the hosting platform will use configurations that can be more difficult. Where is your website hosted?

    There are some plugins that can check the URLs through your database to make sure they’re correct, or if you know databases you can do it yourself.

    That is the focus I suggest starting with. If you still don’t get it, I can probably set up a time to connect with you and look at this together.

    It IS a great plugin!
    I had quite a bit of trial and error before I got it right. So if the before is not fixing your problem, double check the content of the csv file.

    I myself have the following order for the content:
    Time, date, meeting name, location (just the name), Address (of the location, all in one piece of text),region (=city/town), Location notes, group name, District, Group Notes, Meeting Types (what is in the tick boxes when you view the meeting in WordPress)

    I draw the meeting details from a separate database that I use for other purposes as well. In my program, the group and meeting name are the same. But it took me awhile to understand that, in order for the district to show as a column header, I needed to repeat the name. Apparently, in AA (where the plug-in was born), it happens often that a group organises multiple meetings and that the meetings have their own names. That is what I refer to as the ‘meeting name’.

    I also had some trouble with the linking of the pages because I created my new website from a staging site with a different address. So the link thing could certainly be at play here. There is a plugin that can help out with that: it can replace text strings on your website. So if you know that you have an old link that may cause your issues, you can look for that link, literally, and replace it with the correct one. A lot of providers will help you do this, provided you have paid support.

    I hope it helps and that you work it out because this plugin makes our lives as web coordinators so much easier!

    When the meetings page isn’t found that often can be solved by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking “Save Changes”
