I am trying to import a list of categories from a CSV file.

I have the following columns:

v_categories_name_1, v_metatags_keywords_1

I tried before with those two and including the v_categories_id column to specify my own category ID but I took it out. Even after taking it out I still got the same errors.

Every time I try to import, I get nothing but 'No model field in record. This line was not imported' errors for every row.

All I want to do is import categories with no products yet.

Can someone help me please? I have opened the CSV file in Notepad and verified it is comma-delimited (no tabs, blank spaces at end, etc).

Thank you!
Jokkah,

The Category import/export does is not used to create the category tree, it is only used to UPDATE the category info like if you want to add descriptions, images, etc.

The categories are only created automatically using the FULL import sheet. You would need at least 1 product in each category, but you could trim out much of the sheet columns to make it simple.
