Import Export by RockStarLab helps you move real WordPress content without fragile copy-paste work: export clean CSV/JSON files, import with field mapping, sync selected content between sites, scan server folders into the Media Library, and keep a Jobs Log so repeat work can be re-run instead of rebuilt.

Use it for everyday migrations between local, staging, and production sites; bulk content operations; SEO URL audits; media cleanup; and content workflows where posts, pages, custom fields, SEO data, Elementor layouts, and media relationships need to stay intact.

The free plugin gives you strong post/page import-export, URL export, media folder sync, site-to-site sync for core content, background jobs, and AI URL Importer support when configured with your own OpenAI API key. The optional PRO addon unlocks advanced content types, Content Updater, transformations, WooCommerce workflows, and deeper migration tooling for teams that need more control.
