New issues importing ePub books Sun May 4, 2025

I imported several books last night without issues, however today as I try to import books (3 of 3 so far) I am running into issues I haven’t seen before. Two of the books seem to be importing the first chapter as a lesson…when I open that I can see the other chapters, though they are not listed in the proper order and there is no course representation for the book as there has been previously. The third hasnt shown up as either a lesson or course, however all three gave me “successfully imported” pop ups. Please let me know if you need more information and I will be happy to provide whatever feedback I can. I have a few others that I can try, but thought I would report this first as it seems to be a consistent issue.

Update: If I go into one of the lessons and click on View Course, it does take me to the course, however even if I add a tag to the course and go back to the main screen, it still does not show up under courses in the Continue Studying section. Also the latest of the three didn’t show up as a lesson either, however if I go into Continue Studying->View All, I am able to find it if I search for the title or sort by last imported, but it does not show up as Lesson or Course on the main screen in the Continue Studying section.

Further Update: I have since successfully imported two ePub books that are appearing in Courses and Lessons as expected, so either that was a fast fix or there was something wrong with the three books that messed up that is different from the 100+ that I have imported previously without issue.

Either way, I love the site/app, and am very grateful to everyone involved in building and maintaining it. Thanks so much.

@shawnfaust Glad to hear it works. Can you please check and make sure that you have a level assigned to 3 courses that you weren’t able to find in the continue studying shelf?

None of them had a level, but I have assigned one to all three at the course level. They still do not show up in Continue Studying > Courses. For one of the three when I click on the first chapter it says the import failed, though it has an unknown word count and seems to have imported all of the chapters. I don’t mind deleting all three and trying to re-import them, but thought I would check back with you in case you want these to be able to look at them.

The three course names (when I get to the course going through the lesson) are:

[La voz de la conseja 01] AA. VV. - La Voz de la Conseja Tomo I [55175] (r1.0)

Perez Galdos, Benito - Cuentos completos [42250] (r1.0)

and

[Tus libros 133] Perez Galdos, Benito - La Guerra de la Independencia (ilustrado) [54910] (r1.0)
