ACF Import Pro Add-On

ACF Import Pro Add-On maps records from CSV, Excel, or XML files to Advanced Custom Fields in WordPress. The import panel shows source data beside available ACF fields, so you can drag values into place and apply the mapping across multiple records.

Files can keep their existing structure and column names. CSV files can be edited in spreadsheet software; UTF-8 encoding is recommended if special characters cause import problems.

Free and Pro import capabilities

The ACF Import Add-On works with the free version of WP All Import for the capabilities available in that setup, including basic values such as text, numbers, ranges, email addresses, URLs, and passwords. Expanded ACF field support and Pro features require WP All Import Pro, the free ACF Import Add-On, and ACF Import Pro Add-On to be active together.

With those Pro components active, you can import fields such as Flexible Content, Relationships, Dates, Image Galleries, Google Maps, and Repeaters. You can also import pictures and gallery items from your computer, another server, or another external location. Files can be downloaded from external websites, including websites protected by HTTP authentication.

The importer splits large files into chunks, allowing practically unlimited file sizes subject to your server options. WP All Import Pro can check files on a recurring schedule and add, edit, delete, or update custom post types. Import templates can also pass values through custom PHP functions, for example [my_function({data[1]})].

From file selection to import

Install and activate WP All Import, the ACF Import Add-On, and the required Pro components. Start an import, choose a CSV, Excel, or XML file, and choose the WordPress content type. In the ACF panel, drag source values to their corresponding fields. Configure picture imports or custom functions as needed, preview the result, and execute the import. For recurring updates, set the schedule through WP All Import Pro.

Premium technical support is included with the Pro setup described for this add-on.
