Import WP Pro

Import WP Pro extends Import WP for WordPress sites with custom content models. Install and activate Import WP before using Pro. Its visual selector maps CSV columns or XML nodes and attributes to WordPress fields, and source files do not need a fixed layout.

What does Pro add to WordPress imports?

Pro includes imports for custom fields, custom post types and custom taxonomies. Create an importer from a local upload, remote URL or data feed, FTP server, published or downloadable Google Sheet, or a file on your web server.

For CSV files, set the delimiter, enclosure and character encoding. For XML, choose a document base path to identify each record, then map nodes or attributes; XPath is available when needed.

How are entries matched and updated?

Choose a unique identifier to match records for insert or update operations. Set whether the importer may insert, update or delete records. Repeat imports can skip unchanged records. Pro also lets you schedule importers for recurring updates. Review import history and logs after a run.

How do media and add-ons fit in?

Import attachments and media from remote URLs, FTP, the local filesystem or the WordPress media library. Existing media can be reused to avoid duplicates, and you can map attachment titles, captions, alt text and descriptions.

Free add-ons extend Import WP for WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, Rank Math SEO, Polylang, WPML and BLM property feeds. The WooCommerce add-on supports importing and exporting products, variations, pictures, attributes, categories, prices and stock. The Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and JetEngine add-ons require Pro and handle their respective data.

Can you export WordPress data?

Import WP includes an exporter for CSV, XML or JSON. Choose fields, filter records, customize CSV headings and XML node or attribute names, and create nested XML for repeating data. Exports can include posts, pages, taxonomies, custom fields, images, attachments, terms and related data.
