🚀 Getting Started

Welcome to FE CSV Import & Export v0.9.9. This guide covers the shortest path from installation to your first successful import and export.

What FE CSV Import & Export Does

FE CSV Import & Export helps you import and export WordPress content as CSV from the admin interface.

It supports:

  • Standard WordPress post fields
  • Custom post types
  • Custom fields with the cf_ prefix
  • Taxonomy columns including hierarchical values
  • Automatic batch processing for large datasets
  • Localized admin UI with English base strings and Japanese translations

Admin Location

After activation, open:

  • Tools → FE CSV Import & Export

First Import

  1. Open Tools → FE CSV Import & Export → Import
  2. Select the target post type
  3. Upload a CSV file
  4. Choose whether to update existing posts
  5. Run a dry run first if you want to validate the file safely
  6. Start the import and wait for completion

Minimum Test CSV

ID,post_title,post_content,post_status
"","Sample Post","This is the content","publish"
"","Another Post","More content here","draft"

Notes:

  • The ID column is required.
  • Use an empty ID value for new posts.
  • Use an existing post ID only when you intend to update a post.
  • Save the file as UTF-8 when possible.

Import CSV Rules

  • The first row must contain headers.
  • Custom fields must use the cf_ prefix.
  • Multi-value fields use the | separator.
  • Hierarchical taxonomy values use > between levels.

First Export

  1. Open Tools → FE CSV Import & Export → Export
  2. Select the post type
  3. Select the post status filter
  4. Select the export scope
  5. Optionally set an export limit
  6. Start the export and download the generated CSV

What You Will See

During processing, FE CSV Import & Export shows:

  • Real-time progress updates
  • Animated progress UI
  • Per-item log details for current processing
  • Completion state when the job finishes

Common CSV Patterns

Custom Fields

ID,post_title,cf_price,cf_color,cf_tags
"","Product A","19.99","red","sale|featured"
"","Product B","29.99","blue","new|featured"

Hierarchical Taxonomies

ID,post_title,category,post_tag
"","Tech Post","Technology > WordPress > Plugins","tech|wordpress|php"

Batch Processing

You do not need to configure batch processing manually.

FE CSV Import & Export automatically adjusts processing size based on:

  • Dataset size
  • Server execution limits
  • Memory constraints
  • Import or export context

Current behavior is documented in Configuration.

Good First Checks

After your first import or export, verify:

  • The posts were created or updated as expected
  • Custom fields were saved correctly
  • Taxonomies were assigned correctly
  • Exported columns match the expected headers
