How to import files in WordPress

The most straightforward method for file import is through direct upload to WordPress. Alternatively, use import tools located under Tools > Import/Export or a plugin. If the plugin is installed, access the CSV importer menu for seamless WordPress import and export. Support for various file formats, including XML and CSV.

Why CSV and XML Format for WordPress Importer

• The CSV method empowers users with basic Excel or spreadsheet knowledge to visually audit, change, edit, or update bulk data before importing. This offline approach minimizes manual work and saves time.

• Editing XML demands a basic understanding of the structure. Otherwise, users are restricted to importing without making changes to the source file.

Choose between CSV and XML with the WordPress CSV Importer plugin. Import and export Posts, Pages, Custom Posts, WooCommerce, and various post types to and from WordPress.

How to use this CSV and XML WordPress Importer

• Utilize the export option to export existing content records from WordPress. Create a base sample CSV or XML file, or use it as a template for building your import file.
• Seamlessly edit and update the export file for reimporting.
• Add new fields with values to existing posts using the import file.
• Or add more posts according to your needs.
• Opt for the update option by selecting existing items during import. This updates/replaces values based on mapping setups.

Tips to do it right

• Perform a demo import after export, then test and enhance the migration.
• Prioritize a secure database backup before import to facilitate a simple rollback if needed (locate rollback settings in the import configuration area).
• Validate the file before initiating the import process.
• Conduct multiple test/demo imports with 5-10 records to ensure accuracy.
• Learn, edit, and enhance the content of the CSV/XML file.
• Edit, correct, improve, and fine-tune the uploaded file until achieving 100% satisfactory results.
• Repeat the same process for the remaining data rows in the uploaded file.
• Finalize your file and proceed with the actual import.

Few Simple Steps to Publish in Bulk

Understanding Import Export in WordPress

Importing and exporting are distinct processes. While WordPress can import data from other sources, it cannot export data to another source directly. For exporting, the wp_export_dump() function can be used to back up database tables in bulk. Alternatively, plugins can export data in XML, CSV, or JSON file formats.

This is particularly beneficial for webmasters uncomfortable with manual copying. Instead of the traditional copy-paste method, the plugin offers a more convenient drag-and-drop approach.

Importing content such as posts, pages, and attachments is a highly valuable tool for expanding sites with content from external sources. It serves as an alternative to manually building SEO structures or adding new products/services to existing sites.

How to import WordPress site from localhost

For users of XAMPP or WAMP, exporting from the export tab after development and customization is feasible. Use advanced filters to trim content, excluding unwanted or unfinished items, before importing to a remote host.

You can also use this method when building new sites, developing them in localhost, and needing access to existing content on the old server.

This is also useful if you have moved your site to another server or hosting and want to move it back.

WordPress Migration Step 1: How to do WordPress all export

• Go to the Export tab.
• Choose a type of post from the available list.
• Give a name and choose a type for the file to export.
• Choose to split for larger exports.
• Utilize advanced filters to refine your export results.
• Apply some of them appropriately to your needs.
• You can also choose to schedule this export in the background.
• Click Export to process.
• Hit the Download button to save your export file.

WordPress Migration Step 2: WP All CSV/XML file Import in a few simple steps

• Prepare the data file that includes all content.
• Validate the file and fix any conflicts before import.
• Access the Import/Update tab within the plugin.
• Upload the file to import.
• Select either New or Update Existing item Import.
• And choose the post type from the drop-down.
• Update field mapping from WordPress attributes on the left to data headers on the right side.
• You can control the data from particular columns to be imported as a specific WP field in mapping.
• Cross-check and update the mapping to confirm everything is good to go.
• You can also import posts with images from external remote URLs or by uploading a localized compressed zip file.
• Choose the appropriate option to handle images.
• Click continue to process import.
