CSV Format

Your CSV file should have 2 columns (no headers needed):

Column 1: Post URL or Post ID
Column 2: Meta field value

Example using URLs:

https://example.com/sample-post,Value A
https://example.com/another-post,Value B

Example using IDs:

123,Value A
456,Value B

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this with custom post types?

Yes! The plugin works with all public custom post types, including WooCommerce products, portfolio items, events, and more. Only the Media/Attachment post type is excluded.

What if the meta field doesn’t exist yet?

The plugin will create the meta field automatically when you upload your CSV.

Will existing meta values be overwritten?

Yes. If a post already has a value for the specified meta key, it will be updated with the new value from your CSV.

What’s the maximum file size for CSV uploads?

The plugin limits CSV files to 2MB. For larger datasets, split your CSV into multiple smaller files.

Can I undo changes after uploading?

The plugin doesn’t have a built-in undo feature, but all changes are logged. We recommend backing up your database before performing bulk updates.

Where are the logs stored?

Logs are stored in /wp-content/plugins/bulk-meta-fields-update/logs/upload-log.csv and are protected from direct access via .htaccess.

Does this work with ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)?

Yes! ACF stores field values as post meta, so you can update ACF fields using their meta key names.

What happens if a post URL or ID in my CSV doesn’t exist?

The plugin will skip that row and display an error message after processing. Valid rows will still be processed.

Can regular users (non-admins) use this plugin?

No. Only users with the ‘manage_options’ capability (typically administrators) can access this tool.
