CSV Importer

Author: Denis Kobozev

This plugin imports posts from CSV (Comma Separated Value) files into your WordPress blog. It can prove extremely useful when you want to import a bunch of posts from an Excel document or the like - simply export your document into a CSV file and the plugin will take care of the rest. If you're upgrading from v0.1, make sure to change your CSV column names: see Example section in Other Notes.

Features

  • Imports post title, body, excerpt, tags, date and categories
  • Supports custom fields
  • Deals with Word-style quotes and other non-standard characters using WordPress' built-in mechanism (same one that normalizes your input when you write your posts)
  • Columns in the CSV file can be in any order, provided that they have correct headings
