A WordPress CSV and XML importer built for re-runs

Set a unique key and run the same importer again when the file changes. Posts, products, and users update instead of duplicating. Large files and nested XML stay manageable, and Pro can fetch the feed on a schedule.

Features FAQ

What is the WordPress data importer in Import WP?

It is the core engine that maps CSV columns and XML nodes onto posts, pages, users, taxonomies, attachments, and (in Pro) custom post types and custom fields. Unique keys decide insert vs update so a second run does not duplicate records.

Can I import a large CSV into WordPress without timeouts?

Yes. Files are batched so PHP max execution time and reverse-proxy 504s do not kill the run. Import WP Pro processes the job in the background. Nested XML, custom delimiters, Excel, and remote FTP/URL fetch are covered on the parser page.

Are scheduled WordPress imports included in the free plugin?

No. Hourly and daily cron, the custom cron runner, and background jobs are Import WP Pro. The free plugin runs CSV/XML imports by hand into core WordPress data types.
