Ok when I try to upload csv into prestashop I get one or another problem. The first one is that it will give me the 5 columns and instead of scrolling to the right to see the next 5 it has 5 underneath. Then it just fails.

Or if I get it to upload correctly it changes the image url location to the root. So the image url is say getsassy.co.uk/img/pro1.jpg with be changed to getsassy.co.uk/pro1.jpg. I spent too many hours trying to get it to work right it's so frustrating.

Ok couple of things that will break it.

The description cannot have any image urls in it and one of the products does, normal html is fine though.

Also the meta description is too long so those products wont import.

Heres the import i did, the whole file, without the images thugh as I dont have them.  Also had to miss out the meta description column, but Presta will automatically use the short description for the meta description.
