      See docs\/HOOKS.md<\/code> in the plugin directory for available filters and actions.<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Upload the dmc-csv-mapper<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
      3. Navigate to 'CSV Mapper' in the WordPress admin menu<\/li>\n
      4. Start importing your CSV files<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        Does this plugin work with Advanced Custom Fields?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes! The plugin integrates with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) when the plugin is active.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What file formats are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Currently, the plugin supports CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I import into custom post types?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes! The plugin allows you to select any registered public post type on your WordPress site.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I customize who can access the importer?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Use the dmc_csv_mapper_capability<\/code> filter to change the required capability (default: manage_options<\/code>).<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I extend the import behavior?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. The plugin exposes hooks for post data, field values, batch size, and more. See docs\/HOOKS.md<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Where are uploaded CSV files stored?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Uploaded files are saved temporarily in wp-content\/uploads\/csv-imports\/<\/code>. They are automatically deleted after 24 hours. Uninstalling the plugin also removes any remaining files in that directory.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does importing the same CSV twice create duplicates?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. The free version always creates new posts. Updating existing posts instead of creating duplicates is planned for a separate Pro add-on.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does this plugin send data to external servers?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. All CSV processing happens on your WordPress site. No import data is transmitted to third-party services.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
