  • Problem solved! Worked for me > WP core at 6.3

    This plugin solved a problem that had me at an impasse. No matter what "solutions" from WooCommerce and other forums/posts I'd tried, I was unable to import a CSV or Tab-Text file to update details for my products. I installed this plugin and, voila!, success. It's a one-trick pony, but it's the thing I needed. Thanks! Sergey! (WordPress 6.3, WooCommerce 8.0.2)

  • works in WP 6.1 and WC 7.5

    IDK if it's a bug in WC or something, but I can't upload .csv files, had to hook this in so I can update some prices... very helpful!

  • Still works as of 2023

    While some files are transferred, I get the following warning: “Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.”It seemed to work when removing HTML from my .csv file. However, sometimes it is preferred to keep HTML when importing. This plugin fixed the issue.

  • Worked for importating Woo csv error

    couldn't get past the "Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons" error. This plugin did the trick thank you.
