    Hello, I can’t make it work. I’m trying to import topics to a forum from CSV file, by custom post type.
    The plugin creates blank topics, without title and anything else, cannot attach it to a forum, sets default author (ID=1) and current time.
    I downloaded and imported your example posts.csv, unfortunately the same thing, but it can successfully import tags and categories ??
    Before I successfully imported users with your plugin, so generally, it works with my files and data. I’m using Excel/OpenOffice/Gsheets
    What am I doing wrong now?
    This is my CSV, could you please take a look at it?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello, thank you for your reply. I managed to import all records directly into the database table.
    So for anyone looking for the solution:
    – open your database (phpMyAdmin), find table “wp-posts”,
    – remember the last post ID used and copy all columns’ titles to your Google spreadsheets as headers.
    – export one record from the table as an example.
    – create all necessary records in GSheets strictly according to the record exported from the table, download as CSV
    – backup your database
    – import CSV into the table wp-posts, don’t forget to skip the headers row
    – enjoy your new topics
