Hello,

when testing the import feature I always receive an error saying that the category has not been selected

in the database table I see this value for the category associated to a record

{"4":"Scienza e Tecnologia"}

do I have to use the same value in the csv file? - "category-id":"category name"

Currently I have just: Scienza e Tecnologia

eg:

id,title,text,created_by,created,author,category,hits
3,Alan Watts,"Lo Zen non confonde la spiritualità con il pensare",1395,28-02-2013 12:38,Alan Watts,Scienza e Tecnologia,198

Thank you

For me it works with category name, so your Scienza e Tecnologia should be fine.

Thanks, some times the syetm shows the category selection field during import, some others it son't. But even when it does and I select the correct category to asscoiate, it just doesn't import it.

Try to encode your file UTF-8 without BOM.

Sergey Try to encode your file UTF-8 without BOM.

Here is the .csv. file encoded in UTF-8

quotes import first 3 -utf8

Still not importing the category, I tried to change the category name in the file and also select a different category where to import. Still not importing.

I have successfuly imported it into selected category, your given CSV. Try create local Joomla and test there. now i suspect your server somehow.

Sergey now i suspect your server somehow.

Any particular thing I should ask to Namecheap support about this issue then?

This is Namecheap shared server: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/shared.aspx it's very popular and I don't think has very strange settings

what about folder permissions? could be causing something like this?

My site system info:

alkemica-system_info

Alkemica.net   - php info
