I'm using MAGMI v0.7.22 (latest from git). But it's still throwing "Upgrade/Upload function are disabled for security reasons" in the UPDATE section.

Please help

The Update section is for updating to latest version of Magmi and installing Magmi plugins through the UI. The latest version of Magmi (0.7.22) already includes all the plugins, so it's best to leave this section disabled. You can update magmi and plugins by uploading files directly to your host.

I'm using Magmi v0.7.19 , it is throwing error - Upgrade/Upload function are disabled for security reasons and not allowing to import the csv .
Any help would be appreciated !!!

1. Upload the files you would like to process to directory 'var/import' then refresh magmi's page
2. Select it in the drop-down under File to import in the section for Data Sources. CSV Datasource should be selected.
3. Save the Profile by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.
4. Select the Mode at the top and click Run Import

If you're new to Magmi, carefully read over the wiki page because you'll want to understand all the options and be sure to secure it properly. Otherwise you can easily expose your mysql credentials.

Hi , What mode should I select , as I am  doing exactly what you mentioned in the steps , infact I upgraded the version to 7.21 but I am still facing the issue.. When I import the csv  the it says Skipped 6 records that means nothing is updated.

[Ryan]

Well the mode depends on whether you're updating existing SKUs or Adding new ones.

It may be skipping items because you already have them added. And the first option by default is set to "Update existing items only, skip new ones".

Set it to the second -or- third option depending on your needs.

It is not working for multiselect attribute .. Any help??

[Ryan]

Have you read over all of the wiki page on the subject carefully? http://wiki.magmi.org/index.php/Magmi_Behaviour_-select%26_multiselect_attributes
The bottom of the page discusses multi-select attributes. Make sure you're only using a comma between options and no spaces (unless you're using the value trimmer plugin mentioned below). It's also possible that your CSV isn't formed correctly. It could be interpretting your comma-seperated multi-select values as different columns. For example, if you're using Excel to export it to a CSV file, it doesn't necessarily enclose all values in quotes. You might even want to considering pipe-delimiting. I wish Magmi

Magmi can quickly get very messy and complicated. It took a lot of trial and error in a testing environment for me to get a solid understanding of it all. Are you working with a developer or do you have the need for one?

[monalisa dengre]

I did exactly what mentioned on site but nothing is happening even I choosed "Value_Trimmer_for_select/multiselect" .. It is showing "Invalid category ids found for sku " , if I put categories instead of category ids then it shows that it imports all the sku but admin is not updateing with new products..
** Are you working with a developer or do you have the need for one?** - I am developer.

You could try looking at this thread to see if it helps with your issue https://sourceforge.net/p/magmi/discussion/1228365/thread/86a2d57c/

I suspect your CSV isn't formatted properly for both of your issues. Magmi is very particular about how the file is formatted. You definitely don't want to add extra any quotes into the cell if you're using Excel. You also may be better off using a tab delimited file per the method described here: https://understandinge.com/forum/all-things-coding/importing-a-tab-delimited-file/

Unfortunately it's going to be a lot of trial and error unless you hire someone experienced to work directly with your feeds and website.

And this is the multiselect attribute - "+0.75,+1,+1.25,+1.5,+1.75,+2,+2.25,+2.5,+2.75,+3,+3.25,+3.5,+3.75,+6"
my csv is correct.
