- Should I fill all columns of post data?
-
No. Only columns which you want to update.
- Can I update existing post data?
-
Yes. Please use ID field to specify the existing post.
- Can I insert post with specific post id?
-
Yes. Please use ID field to specify the new post ID.
- Can I import custom field/custom taxonomy of the post?
-
Yes. You can use column names same as wp_post table, but if the column name does not match, it creates a custom field (post meta) data. Importing custom taxonomy is a bit more complicated, “tax_{taxonomy}” means, “tax_” is prefix, and {taxonomy} is name of custom taxonomy (not labels).
Here is an example.
csv file
“post_title”,”released”,”tax_actors”
“Captain Phillips”,”2013″,”Tom Hanks, Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahman”imported post data
Post Title: Captain Phillips
Custom field “released”: 2013
Custom taxonomy “Actors”: Tom Hanks, Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahman - Why should I quote text cells when I save csv file?
-
Because PHP cannot read multibyte text cells in some cases.
Locale setting is taken into account by this function. If LANG is e.g. en_US.UTF-8, files in one-byte encoding are read wrong by this function.
- Can I insert multiple values to CFS or ACF fields like Select or Checkbox?
-
Yes. Please create additional plugin and use
really_simple_csv_importer_save_meta
filter to make array data.
