    This is a bit of an ask!

    So say you have your default fields set-up and they are dedicated to a page say a generic page for each group e.g. “Group Info”.

    And you have lots of groups . And you basically want to import a lot of this data i.e values for the fields in the various groups.

    AFAI can tell the fields seem to be recorded in bpge in the table wp_bp_groups_groupmeta and delineated by group id. and the data in wp_posts

    Query.

    How to get a lot of data into these fields from say an excel cvs file ???

    Any ideas at all would be very welcome.

    There is nothing else, than just write an own importer that will save everything into groupmeta table. I did that lots of times for lots of clients, not a trivial task (if you have big csv files, I mean BIG), but doable (if it should be done only once on initial import).

    Try to decouple the import logic from BPGE, and write importer that will save eveyrything in a way BPGE support.
