<p>When migrating from another system (i.e. Drupal), WordPress can require data that is currently serialized to be unserialized and stored in its own WordPress-specific tables/columns. This plugin can look for such data, and deserialize and store it, based on the plugin settings.</p>
<p>This plugin handles one (configurable) imported field at a time, so all imported, serialized data needs to be stored in that single field. Each key in that field can be mapped to any column, and stored in either <code>wp_postmeta</code> or <code>wp_posts</code>, as shown below:</p>
<pre><code>`
</code></pre>
<p>if ( $maps[$key][‘wp_table’] === ‘wp_postmeta’ && $value != ” && $value != NULL ) {<br />
    add_post_meta( $post_id, $maps[$key][‘wp_column’], $value, $maps[$key][‘unique’] );<br />
} else if ( $maps[$key][‘wp_table’] === ‘wp_posts’ && $value != ” && $value != NULL ) {<br />
    $post = array(<br />
        ‘ID’ => $post_id,<br />
        $maps[$key][‘wp_column’] => $value<br />
    );<br />
    wp_update_post( $post );<br />
}<br />
    `</p>
<p>The <code>wp_schedule_event</code> method is used to deserialize the data and place it into its appropriate fields, and it can run at any configurable interval (you pick a number, and then a unit of time).</p>
