    Hi @webg,

    You can set up a “New Items” import for the first import, then use the “Existing Items” option for the 2nd and 3rd imports. We explain the import types, and include links to documentation explaining how to use them, here: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/import-types/.

    How would you update post status of an existing records created with “New Items” import using “Existing Items” import option and match by unique identifier and set new post status to private or trash?

    Hi @webg,

    How would you update post status of an existing records created with “New Items” import using “Existing Items” import option

    In the import template, you’d import “private” or “trash” via the “Set with XPath” option under “Post Status”: https://d.pr/i/1W15l8. Then, in the import settings, you’d choose how to match the existing items, and choose to only update the post status: https://d.pr/i/rlBrtP.

    and match by unique identifier

    You can’t match by the Unique Identifier in an existing items import, you’d have to match by title/content/post ID or a unique custom field value.
