WP Flexible CSV Importer

Features

Frustrated that only the paid plugins would handle my various CSV files with different fields, I decided to write this plugin vs using a throwaway import script. Hopefully this will help others facing the same problem.

Simple flow-based approach:

• upload your CSV
• check/adjust data will be imported how you imagine
• auto-generate WordPress content from your imported data

It shouldn’t need to be much harder than that.

This plugin does not phone-home or solicit you to pay for more features. By the people, for the people!

via WP Admin panel

1. Go to Plugins > Add New
2. Search for “WP Flexible CSV Importer”
3. Click on the Install Now button
4. Activate the plugin and find it under the Tools > Import page

manual installation

1. Upload the static-html-output directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Access the plugin settings from the Tools > Import page

via WP CLI

1. wp --allow-root plugin install wp-flexible-csv-importer --activate

Why did you make this / support it?

I made it to fulfil a need I had, which other plugins wouldn’t do (or wanted $$ to do so!). I maintain it to help others and by doing so, I might occasionally get paid dev work.
