support
#### How It Works
1. Go to **XML Feeds > Import Wizard**
2. Enter your feed URL and let the wizard validate and detect the format
3. Preview the feed data with auto-detected fields highlighted
4. Map XML fields to WordPress fields with drag-and-drop
5. Save and run your import
#### WP-CLI Usage
```
wp slxwb import - Import a specific feed
wp slxwb list - List all configured feeds
wp slxwb status - Show import status
```
### External Services
This plugin communicates with external servers to fetch XML feed content that you
explicitly configure. No data is sent to any third party.
#### Feed Fetching
* **What data is sent:** An HTTP GET request is made to the feed URL you provide.
No user-identifiable information, WordPress credentials, or personal data is
included in the request.
* **Service provider:** The server hosting the XML feed URL you configure (varies
per user).
* **When it occurs:** When you click Validate in the Import Wizard, when you run
a manual import, or when a scheduled cron import fires.
* **Privacy Policy:** No privacy policy is required from third-party services since
no user data is transmitted.
#### Image Downloading
* **What data is sent:** An HTTP GET request is made to the image URLs found in
your configured XML feed. No user-identifiable information is included.
* **Service provider:** The server hosting the images referenced in your XML feed.
* **When it occurs:** Only when the “Download Images” option is enabled for a feed
and an import is running.

## FAQ
### What XML formats are supported?
The plugin supports RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom feeds, and custom XML formats. It detects
the format automatically.
### Can I import from multiple feeds?
Yes. You can configure unlimited feeds, each with its own schedule, mapping, and
settings.
### How does duplicate detection work?
The plugin uses 4 levels of duplicate detection in priority order: Original Link,
GUID, Hash (content similarity), and Title. You can configure which method to use
per feed.
### Does it support custom post types?
Yes. You can import into any public post type, including custom post types.
### Will large feeds slow down my site?
No. Large feeds (5000+ items) are automatically processed in the background using
a queue system with chunked processing and memory management.
### Is WP-CLI supported?
Yes. Use `wp slxwb import`, `wp slxwb list`, `wp slxwb status`, and other commands.
### Does it work with ACF, MetaBox, or Pods?
Yes. The field mapper auto-detects ACF, MetaBox, Pods, and JetEngine fields and
lets you map XML data to them.
