Magic Export & Import

Changelog

2.0.0

• New: export and import related data types within one file. Check “Export related data types and referenced items” to include the data referenced by the exporting items (e.g. Products, Users and Coupons for Shop Orders; Terms and Users for Posts; linked Posts and Terms for Menus and Comments, including nested relations like Product Categories for ordered Products). The offered types follow the data selected for export and reset when that selection changes. On import, related items are processed first so all the references resolve: missing items are created, existing ones are kept untouched (adjustable with the separate related items import settings).
• New: interactive related data graph. The discovered related types and items are visualized as a zoomable scheme showing how they nest (e.g. Shop Orders → Products → Product categories). Click a type to exclude it from the export, double-click it to show its individual items, exclude single items, hover an item to see why it is included and where it came from, or find items by name with the built-in search. Excluding a node automatically prunes the items reachable only through it.
• New: references found in the exported content and custom fields are resolved to the linked items and added to the related data automatically, so cross-references resolve on import. Both kinds are covered: URLs (post content, ACF link/URL/WYSIWYG fields on any data type including options pages and menus, custom menu links, etc.) resolved to posts or terms, and ACF reference fields that store IDs (post object, relationship, taxonomy, user — including those nested in group, repeater and flexible content) resolved to the referenced posts, terms or users. ACF fields are read through ACF’s own functions so values stored outside the meta table are covered.
• New: WordPress synced patterns placed in Gutenberg content are detected and exported as related items, and their references are rewritten to resolve on the destination site — including patterns with overrides and patterns nested within other patterns.
• New: file-based caching of the export page data (item counts, export keys and related data types) to keep the page fast on sites with a lot of content. The cache is stored in files under the plugin folder (not the database), purged automatically when the related content changes (create/update/delete of posts, terms, users, comments, menus or shop orders) and can be purged manually per viewed type with the “Purge cache” button.
• New: export now runs in the background via AJAX, building the file in slices with a live progress indicator (like the import), so large exports no longer hit request timeouts. The finished file is downloaded automatically when ready.
• New: translation-ready — all user-facing strings are internationalized and a POT template is bundled. With Polylang active, related graph item labels are tagged with the item language when it differs from the admin language filter.
• Improvement: the related data types now strictly follow the data selected in the “data for export” field and reset whenever the selection changes, so only items referenced by the exported data are offered.
• Improvement: individual Shop Orders in the export select are listed newest first, matching the other data types.
• Fix: ordered Products are now detected as related items for Shop Orders in legacy storage too, not only with HPOS enabled.
• Fix: refunds no longer appear in the individual Shop Orders export select.
