Thread: Import Listing via CSV - ClassiPress

Import Listing via CSV - ClassiPress

After much work needing to import around 2000 listings I came up with a part solution for importing listing via CSV.

1. Download & install CSV Importer Plugin
WordPress › CSV Importer « WordPress Plugins
see docs at WordPress › CSV Importer « WordPress Plugins

csv_post_title - title of the post
csv_post_post - body of the post
csv_post_type - post, page or a custom post type.
csv_post_excerpt - post excerpt

Use the above fields as required.
HOWEVER GIVE THE csv_post_type a value of ad_listing
This will import your adverts

Re: Categories
csv_ctax_ad_cat
This will import your categories and create them if not already in the system BUT your values MUST start with a comma or it will not work ie to import a category Mobile Phones the value in the field must be ,Mobile Phones.

You can also import custom field values using the following headers
cp_price
cp_street
etc etc

I have not had any luck in getting sub categories to import or import a listing that is listed in multiple categories so if any ideas on those 2 extras would be great.

Sorry meant to post this in the classipress section!
