Custom tax values not imported

  • I am importing two different custom taxonomies and have noticed that if the value is already present in the taxonomy, it doesn’t get selected on the imported record. However, if I specify a new value that isn’t already present, then the value is imported and selected as expected.

    Have you seen this behavior?

    Thanks,

    Lesa

    Taxonomies are a strange thing in WP, since taxonomy items share underlying values even when they are in different lists. So a category of “Status Black” with a value of “black” is the same underlying value as “Product Colour Black” also with an underlying value of “black”. Bets just to avoid this happening – do not reuse taxonomy values.

    Rant out of the way, could you send me an example of CSV that you are trying to import?

    I am having a similar-ish issue. Three custom taxonomies and while the terms are being created by the import, the terms for each imported post are not being selected (not even the first time the term is created).

    What’s your email address to send the example CSV to?

    If you can describe how to set the situation up, that will be very helpful too.
