I am trying to: Import CSV into a repeating field, using WP Ultimate CSV Importer Pro.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: Private site in development.

I expected to see: The imported fields.

Instead, I got: The imported fields, except that the first one was blank.

So, I don't know if this is an error in the import plugin, which says it fully supports Types repeating fields. Or I don't know if the Toolset components are somehow leaving the first field empty.

So Ideally I'd like to import without the erroneous empty field. Otherwise I'd like to use conditional display to not show the empty field. (It stands out because it's a bulleted list). I've tried the conditional display syntax using several methods, but it never works as indicated. I am setting up the views in Beaver Builder, but I don't think it is mangling any code.

So we'd like to either:

1) Solve the issue of the first field being blank; or
2) Find the right syntax to hide any blank repeater field in a bulleted or numbered list.

Thanks!

Hello,

Q1) Solve the issue of the first field being blank

Please try these:
1) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2017, and test again
2) follow our document to import your CSV file
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/how-to-import-content-into-wordpress-using-csv/import-csv-ultimate-csv-importer-plugin/
3) f the problem still persists, please provide database dump file(ZIP file) of your website, and the demo CSV file, also point out the problem page URL, where I can see the problem " the first one was blank", I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks
