Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Smart Import : Import any XML File to WordPress

The free version supports XML file imports. If you need to import CSV or JSON files, you can upgrade to WP Smart Import Pro which automatically converts CSV and JSON files to XML on-the-fly during upload.

Yes. WP Smart Import uses a batch-based processing engine that splits your data into smaller chunks and imports them sequentially via AJAX requests. This prevents PHP timeouts and memory limit issues, making it reliable even on shared hosting environments.

You can define a Unique Key field (e.g., {title[1]} or {id[1]}) during the mapping step. The plugin checks this key before inserting each record. If a matching post already exists, you can choose to either skip it or update the existing post by enabling the "Update Existing" checkbox.

Absolutely. The drag-and-drop template builder lets you map XML nodes to any number of custom meta fields using a repeater interface. You can also assign imported posts to categories, tags, or any registered custom taxonomy with full hierarchical support using xPath syntax like {category[1]} > {subcategory[1]}.

WP Smart Import Pro adds CSV and JSON file support, automated recurring schedules with WordPress cron, a detailed run history log with post-level status tracking, and configurable background batch sizes for scheduled imports. Visit WP Smart Import Pro to learn more.
