FAQ
-
Does this plugin work with Advanced Custom Fields?

Yes! The plugin integrates with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) when the plugin is active.

Currently, the plugin supports CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files.
-
Can I import into custom post types?
-
Yes! The plugin allows you to select any registered public post type on your WordPress site.
-
Can I customize who can access the importer?
-
Yes. Use the
dmc_csv_mapper_capabilityfilter to change the required capability (default:manage_options). -
Can I extend the import behavior?
-
Yes. The plugin exposes hooks for post data, field values, batch size, and more. See
docs/HOOKS.md. -
Where are uploaded CSV files stored?
-
Uploaded files are saved temporarily in
wp-content/uploads/csv-imports/. They are automatically deleted after 24 hours. Uninstalling the plugin also removes any remaining files in that directory. -
