EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

I spent 6 hours today trying to get this plugin to work. Spreadsheet shows all lines with same values as the 2 line template downloaded, yet it will not create the items when uploads. All I get is an error message that there is no category for this product for 68 items in the spreadsheet. If one has to use openoffice to make this work, then that is a problem. Either make it work with MS or change the file format to text so that the excel import wizard will fire up and ask for delimiters. CSV files will not start the import wizard. Im exhausted.

Please follow the links at this post. This issue has been discussed multiple times within this thread already.

Shortcut? Within the Admin of your Zen Cart Version, please select the configuration menu option, scroll down to Easy Populate V4 and open it.
at the fourth option down, select to edit the menu option Import Language Override?
Assuming that you are using a "normal" or "historical" type csv file/field-naming convention, change the value to anything other than the EP4.0.37.13 installation default of language_code_only. That is, the value selected should in some way represent the language type identifier that you are using in your file. The default import was incorrectly set to language_code_only. That setting requires fields to include the language_code (en, de, es, etc...). Good ole' EP4 uses the language_id and the default export was set to use language_id.

The new default will be language_id_only in the next distribution.

For those that have already installed, read through this forum about the recent release (huge) ISSUE, the next upgrade will not adjust whatever value is currently set, but the description will be updated to identify the new default. Default for export and import will match at using the historical language_id.

Seems like that worked. You should delete the previous 3,000 posts and start from here.

I am trying to create an csv order upload for Shippo. When I use the orders download from EP4 all I am getting is headers only...no orders even when I select status that have orders. Any idea where to start looking for the issue? I do not see a date range on that so I assume it is all based on order statuses.
