How to Import WordPress Custom Fields
ImportWP Pro gives you the ability to import from both XML and CSV files into custom fields from basic text to WordPress attachments when importing WordPress posts, pages, custom post types, and users.
To add a new custom field click on the Add Row button at the bottom of the custom fields panel, this will insert a new row.

|---|---|
| Name | The name field allows you to select from a predefined list of custom fields, if you cant find the custom field you are looking for but you know what its key is, then this can be manually entered by checking the enable text field to switch the dropdown menu to an input field. |
| Value | The value field is the same as any other importer field, you can select which data should be set via the select data button, this will load up the xml or csv visual data selector tool. |
