Description

Our optimised WordPress importer makes it easy to export and import CSV and XML files into WordPress posts, pages, categories, tags, custom post types, and custom taxonomies. We have simplified the process to Import attachments, images, and any WordPress data using our custom visual data selection tools that make it straightforward to import XML or CSV files from any data feed.

Our WordPress exporter allows you to export CSV, XML or JSON files with data from any wordpress post type or taxonomy, including exporting custom fields, images, attachments, and related terms. This means you can easily export CSV, XML or JSON files containing only the WordPress data and structure you need.

Import CSV and XML files to WordPress posts, categories and users

To create a csv importer or xml importer the steps are the same, except that xml files contain a nested data structure, instead of csv files that containing rows and headings.

  1. Choose Import file – Import an XML or CSV file by either uploading a file, downloading from a remote url, or from a remote FTP.
  2. Map data – Select what parts of your import file should be used to create and update a WordPress record.
  3. Set Permissions – Set what is used to identify each record, and select what the importer can insert, update and delete.
  4. Run the importer.

Import WordPress Attachments from XML / CSV files

Import WordPress attachments from CSV and XML files from either a remote url, an ftp server, the websites filesystem, or the WordPress media library.

Attachments can be downloaded every time the importer runs, or can check the media library to use an existing version if it exists already, saving media from downloading duplicate images.
