WordPress CSV Imports Read on to learn more about the CSV importer functionality of WP All Import. Importing CSVs with WP All Import is exactly the same as importing XML files because internally, WP All Import actually converts your CSV file to an XML file on the fly. You can use the same XPath filtering options and all the same features you have when importing XML files. CSV imports, including those exported from Excel and Google Sheets, don’t require your file to have a specific structure. Your CSV file can use any column names/headings. You can map the columns in your CSV file to the appropriate places in WordPress during the import process. When importing CSV files, your CSV should have UTF-8 encoding if you are having trouble importing special characters. In step 2 of a CSV import, you can specify an alternative delimiter if you aren’t using a comma. WP All Import can import CSVs that are pipe-delimited, # delimited, or delimited/separated by any other character. For CSV import tutorials and example files, visit our documentation. Please keep in mind CSV imports with WP All Import are just like XML imports – you have all the same functionality, and the process is exactly the same. Any of our tutorial videos that apply to XML files also apply to importing CSV files, so if you see a tutorial with us importing an XML file, know that you can follow the exact same steps for a CSV import. WordPress Excel Import / Google Sheets Import Don’t want to convert your Excel or Google Sheets data to CSV? WP All Import also works as a Google Sheets and Excel importer for WordPress. Simply upload your Excel file as you would for CSV and WP All Import will automatically detect the columns in your file. For Google Sheets, use the ‘Download a file’ option and paste your sheet’s public URL to import data to WordPress. Add-Ons A number of premium add-ons are available to add functionality to the importer and make XML, CSV, Google Sheets, and Excel import tasks to complex plugins simple.
