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.

### Common Use Cases

 * Move posts and pages between local, staging, and production
 * Import and export CSV files with field mapping

 * Build a full public URL inventory for SEO audits
 * Add FTP/SFTP uploaded files into the Media Library
 * Re-run imports, exports, and sync jobs from history
 * Convert public URLs into draft WordPress content with AI
 * Use PRO for custom post types, users, comments, taxonomy terms, WooCommerce data,
   transformations, and bulk content updates
