## Beskrivelse

Import content from any XML or RSS file or URL.

You can import the content to any post type in your WordPress install. You can also
import taxonomies.

Our plugin is especailly useful for importing content from Wix websites.

### Step by Step process

 * Select the source ( URL or FILE UPLOAD ).
 * Select your repeated XML element you want to import – this should be the node
   in your XML file which will be considered a post upon import.
 * Select the post type you want to import the content to.
 * Match the fields from the XML node you’ve selected (step 2) to the corresponding
   fields you have available on the post type.

### Supported files and URLs

 * The XML source file should be a valid XML file. [You can check your feed validation here.](https://validator.w3.org/feed/)
 * JSON feeds needs to be first converted to RSS or XML file [using tools such as this.](https://www.convertjson.com/json-to-xml.htm)
 * The plugin will then check if the URL source or the uploaded file is valid before
   the import and processing starts
 * If you use URL source for import, please ensure the URL is not password protected
 * Supported formats: XML 1.0, XML 2.0, Atom 1, RSS

### Features

 * **XML Preview** – After successfully uploading an XML file or reading an external
   URL, the plugin will present you with an XML preview of the selected node. This
   can be used to check if you’ve selected the correct node and ensure that the 
   data are read correctly by the plugin. The preview presents one item from the
   selected node but it is paginated so you can navigate back and forward between
   the elements.
 * **Linking Taxonomies to Posts** – You can import categories and taxonomies from
   the XML file and link the imported posts to these taxonomies. First you need 
   to have the taxonomies created in WordPress to allow the plugin to import into
   these taxonomies. By default WordPress has two taxonomies: categories and tags.
 * **Limit posts** – In the «Import Settings» area you can set limits for the import.
   You can use multiple patterns to include posts in the import. Use semicolon to
   separate the values, for example: 1-8;10;14-
 * **Importing and linking multiple taxonomies to one post** – To import and link
   one post to multiple taxonomies, you need to have an XML element in your selected
   node with a list of categories separated by commas. These elements will be recognized
   and imported separately as taxonomy terms.
 * **Save & Load templates** – Once the fields are matched, you can save the matching
   as a template, and use it again for another import.
 * **Support for tag attributes**
 * **Custom Fields & ACF support**

It messes up sensitive data like publication dates or categories; doesn’t actually
do anything with external media except creating blank database posts… The only upside
is that it supports ACF. ________________________ Editing since i have tried different
approach with it, for some reason the images downloads just fine on another hosting(
same config) and dates needs to have proper format. It still pretty much can’t synchronize
categories but i can live with that.

It lets you map fields and the import went well. It would be even more helpful if
it allowed us to also map attributes, in case images are stored in the RSS feed 
as an attribute. Thanks for your work!

I wanted to convert an RSS feed into posts. This plugin lets you precisely map how
you want meta data imported and even integrates with Advanced Custom Fields.

It was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect for import from Wix to wordpress.
Highly recommended.

### 󠀁[Works as expected, smooth process](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-expected-smooth-process/)󠁿

 [Sunfire](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chillsunfire/) 25. mars, 2020

After searching for and trying (without success) different ways to import posts 
from an old Wix website blog, this plugin finally saved me from pulling out my hair.
The process was smooth, easy to follow, and worked exactly as I had hoped. I was
able to import all Wix blog posts into my new WP site as posts, easily select which
elements from the Wix blog corresponded to the WP blog elements (title, content,
date, etc). NOTE: This did not pull in the media (photos/graphics), but that has
to do with Wix being protective of anything that might have been uploaded to their
site builder. So I’ll still have to go back, save those images from Wix, then upload
to the new WP site. But at least I didn’t have to retype everything from scratch.
