Hi,
Hello!
I have some Blog Posts to import from an Old Blog to a New Blog. I managed to correctly import all their data and Contents. Featured Images were also correctly imported as Attachments and are now in my New Blog Media Library.
But I noticed that the Content of these Posts had images. The images are in the Old Blog Media Library. My imported Posts in the New Blog are showing the images in Content but they are all in the Old Blog URL wich will be deactivated. So I need to import these images in my New Blog Media Library.
Should the Importer had done this automaticly or should I activate some option to do that? Perhaps I missed something?
I read the docs in https://www.importwp.com/docs/import-wordpress-posts-from-any-xml-or-csv-file/ but it was not clear to me what to do with the images that are in Content of the Post. Are they treated as Attachments? I wouldn’t know how to select them as their URL are in the Content of the Post.
Thank you.

Hi,
I’ve just started using this plugin and it’s working very well – thank you for contributing such a great plugin! I’m importing files to the media library and needed to be able to set the publish date, and this plugin has been by far the best option for handling my use case.
I have an attachment importer set up and it is working very well to import the Title, Media File, and Date fields, but I also need to import a taxonomy term with the attachment.
According to the instructions here, “if your plugin or theme registeres any taxonomies the Taxonomies tab will appear”.
So far, the Taxonomies tab has not appeared on my importer form.
I am using the Media Library Assistant plugin, which adds a hierarchical custom taxonomy called attachment_category. Just in case that was causing some sort of conflict, I’ve deactivated this plugin (and any others that add features the media library), and instead registered the taxonomy in the theme’s functions.php.
The taxonomy appears in the dashboard and I can manually apply terms to items in the media library, but there’s still no option in the importer to configure taxonomy fields.
Is there a step that I’ve missed in configuring the importer ?
Many thanks in advance for any help you’re able to offer!
]]>Our client uses the Pro version of your plugin and have recently moved their website hosting to WP VIP.
The folder structure is different on their platform compared to vanilla WP, meaning only the ‘wp-uploads’ and ‘tmp’ folders can be written to – essentially meaning your plugin doesn’t work as it prevents the importwp directory being created.
Do you have any suggestions on how we can modify the import directory (other than modify the plugin code directly), or does the plugin not cater for WP VIP?
]]>Hello,
I am trying to import posts with post_status set to scheduled so they will auto post on the provided date in the csv file. I have a column with post_date and the value is the date I would like the post posted. Is there anything else required to ensure the scheduled post gets posted?
Thank you

]]>Hi there! So, I’m want to import data from two csv files to two post types: companies and jobs. Every job is related to one company and I use the ACF relationship field to create that connection.
The above IDs were generated by me, not assigned by WordPress.
I configured the plugin to import the company’s name in the ACF relationship field when importing jobs but that didn’t work – the ACF relationship field was empty after the import.
In the plugin’s documentation there is this information: “ACF post object, relationship taxonomy or user fields expect a comma seperated list of object ids, use custom methods to correctly get the object id from your field value.” and there is a link to this article (“Modifying dates using custom methods”). I’m not sure this applies to my case. I want a solution to get the company’s object id using the company’s name or company’s custom id in Import WP.
How do I do that? All your thoughts and insights are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
]]>Hello!
I guess I had some difficulties to import comments with Import WP plugin. I used it to export comments from an old website to a CSV file and I would like to import in a new website.
But when I create a new Importer, it asks me to choose a template. I tried to use Post template but when importing it gets the error “No Unique fields present.” and I couldn’t find out if there was an option to setup that for importing comments.
In “Record CSV Preview” it does preview correctly the fields in the CSV file.
And unfortunately I couldn’t find out anything about it in plugin docs too. Am I doing something wrong or there is no option to import comments?
Thank you.
]]>Hello, I have a very large database (approximately 1gb) in which I added many records using the plugin. The problem I have is that lately the importer runs very slow and sometimes crashes (although the plugin tells me that it continues to run the task). My question is how do I cancel the tasks that are running in the background? https://prnt.sc/VVHZVJxlPn-z I thought about removing the cronjob that runs the iwp_cron_runner hook but before doing so I would like to consult you.
From already thank you very much.

]]>Hello!
I’m trying to update a list of products with Tags that I listed in my spreadsheet.
So, in the step 4.Permissions I selected “Update – Allow updating of existing records.” and “Import: Only the following fields”.
But I couldn’t find out how to specify the field of Tags. How can we find the proper info that goes in this step to select the proper field?
I tried “product_tag” but it didn’t updated the product.
In step 3.Template Fields I activated the Taxonomies and set “Taxonomy: Product Tag”. In “Terms” I placed {38} which is my column in my spreadsheet and in preview it shows correctly it is reading the tag I want to be added.
Thank you for the help.

]]>Dear James,
we have tried to update your plugin + the pro version and the events calendar to 6 with migrating data. In effect of this our import stopped mapping to event calendar custom fields. Thus we reverted to the working setup.
What is the status of this problem / solution? When will it be possible to update your plugin/s and the event calendar?
Kind regards,

]]>Plugin stops when importing 275 products from XML file. Then you have to refresh it and start importing again so that it can move forward. This creates a problem as the imported file has, for example, 5000 products. Has anyone encountered such a mistake?
At the beginning, everything worked normally, the problem started after importing about 6000 thousand products. The version of WordPress and plugin is up-to-date. The PHP version is 7.4.30

]]>Hellou, Does your plugin support Categories Mapping? I found the link https://www.importwp.com/docs/importer/importer-templates/wordpress-taxonomy-importer-template/, but I’m not smart to it.
Where do I put the XML feed categories and where do I put the WP categories I created earlier ?
—-
I know how to add categories (feed), but I don’t know how to map the category import.
I’m trying to import Categories into an already created Category.
I have in my FEED XML a category path that looks like this:
Kids > Shoes > Walk, Run > Walk
Kids > Shoes > Walk, Run > Run
Kids > T-shirt
Kids > Glasses
In WP i have >
Kids > Shoes > Walk
Kids > Shoes > Run
E.g.
I need the Kids content (category) to appear only under the exact Kids > Shoes > Walk and no new categories.
Kids > Shoes > Walk, Run > Walk (FEED XML) TO Kids > Shoes > Walk (WP created Category)

Hi!
The REHub theme was purchased, which has this plugin.
When downloading a file from a link (Remote Url), it gives error: Response Code: 406.
There are no problems with other ways of downloading and importing.
How is this solved?

]]>Hi, Just installed and activated this plugin, when I click Tools/importWP I recieve a blank screen no options, no New button, nothing.
Thanks for any help
I have a hierarchical taxonomy called “locations”. I was able to import all of the taxonomy values. Now I want to import the currently selected location into a custom Post type called “item”. The CSV file currently contains two columns: “location” and “sub-location.”
I assume that I will have to concatenate these two columns but I don’t know the format. Is it as simple as separating the two values by a comma? And what happens if there is a location but no sub-location?
