<p>This simple plugin allows you to import any type of data from large CSV files into your wordpress installation.</p>
<p>Plugin reads CSV file and performs import of its records one by one through AJAX requests, so there are no server timeout issues.</p>
<p>You only need to provide PHP function to perform import of CSV field values into post or taxonomy term or whatever you need.</p>
<p>Usage example:</p>
<p>For example, assume we want to import posts from such CSV file:<br />
    title,text,brand,image<br />
    “Check this”,”Samsung content”,Samsung,”https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Samsung_Logo.svg/2000px-Samsung_Logo.svg.png”<br />
    “Some news”,”News<br />Here are some news”,Philips,”http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/philips_2013_logo_detail.png”</p>
<p>Here we have post title, post content, custom field Brand and thumbnail image.</p>
<p>We can use this code in theme’s functions.php file to implement import function:</p>
<pre><code>add_action('lcih_import_csv_row', 'lcih_import_csv_row');
function lcih_import_csv_row($row)
{
 $post_data = array(
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'post_title' => $row['title'],
     'post_content' => $row['text']
 );
 $post_id = wp_insert_post($post_data);
 if (!$post_id)
 {
     echo "Error inserting post.";
     return;
 }

 update_post_meta($post_id, 'brand', $row['brand']);

 if ($row['image'])
     LargeCSVImportHandlerPlugin::download_post_thumbnail($post_id, $row['image']);

 echo "Created post ".$post_id;
}
</code></pre>
<p>After that we can go to plugin admin page, select CSV file to upload and click “Start import” button. Import process will begin.</p>


Large CSV Import Handler

After trying almost all major CSV plugins, this is the one that works perfectly for large files. I have a file of 35MB with 83000 posts and was unable to import them but this plugin did it with ease. No server time issues, simple to use. Recommended!

Awesome Work, Great Plugin

Provides ability to import any type of data from large CSV files into Wordpress

<p>CSV to SortTable is great for anyone who wants to display information from a spreadsheet on a WordPress website. This plugin can be used to display product catalogs, inventory lists, leaderboards or anything else that can be stored in a CSV file.</p>
<h4>How To Use</h4>
<p>Insert a sortable table into any page or post using this shortcode:</p>
<pre><code>[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv]
</code></pre>
<p>The result will be a beautiful, semantically-correct HTML table populated with the contents of your file.</p>
<h4>Optional Features</h4>
<p>This plugin automatically does a few things for you, all of which can be disabled:</p>
<ol>
<li>Adds some CSS to make the table look nice.</li>
<li>Converts image file URLs into clickable image links.</li>
<li>Converts certain file URLs into clickable file-type icons (.doc, .pdf, .ppt, .xls, .zip).</li>
</ol>
<p>To disable any of these features, use the <code>disable</code> shortcode attribute:</p>
<pre><code>[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv disable=css]
[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv disable=icons,images]
[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv disable=all]
</code></pre>
<p>The first example would disable only the plugin CSS; the second would disable both the file-type icons and image links; and the third would disable all optional features. Disable any combination using a comma-separated list (no spaces!).</p>
<h4>Table ID</h4>
<p>Want to give your table a unique ID? Use the <code>id</code> shortcode attribute:</p>
<pre><code>[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv id=my_data_table]
</code></pre>
<p>The above example would give the <code><table></code> element an <code>id</code> attribute of <code>my_data_table</code>.</p>
<h4>Group Classes</h4>
<p>Let’s say you have a table with three columns: Item, Description and Type. You want all table rows of the same Type to have the same class, so you can highlight them in different colors using CSS or modify them all at once with JavaScript.</p>
<p>This can be done by assigning a column number to the <code>group</code> shortcode attribute:</p>
<pre><code>[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv group=3]
</code></pre>
<p>The result would be a special class assigned to each table row based on the value of the third column.</p>
<h4>Sorting Options</h4>
<p>By default, table data is sorted alphabetically. If you want to sort columns numerically or as dates, or disable sorting on certain columns, use the following shortcode attributes:</p>
<pre><code>[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv number=2]
[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv date=3]
[csv src=http://example.com/myfile.csv unsortable=4,5,6]
</code></pre>
<p>The values can be a single column number, or multiple column numbers in a comma-separated list (no spaces!).</p>
<h4>Relative File Paths</h4>
<p>If the <code>src</code> value is a relative path (beginning with a forward slash), the plugin will refer to the “Site address (URL)” defined in <code>WP-Admin > Settings > General</code>:</p>
<pre><code>[csv src=/mydata/data.csv]
</code></pre>
<p>The above example would refer to <code>http://example.com/mydata/data.csv</code>.</p>
<h4>Data Array Filter</h4>
<p>You may want to manipulate the CSV data after it is imported, but before the HTML table is rendered. To do so, use this filter:</p>
<pre><code>csv_to_sorttable_data_array
</code></pre>
<p>Here are some code examples of how to use the data array filter:</p>

<li><a href="https://gist.github.com/sscovil/5919849" rel="nofollow ugc">Add a Header Row (Function)</a></li>
