• I’m using WordPress as a CMS. I would like to post several hundred entries, without having to manually log in and copy/paste the contents into each entry. Is there someway to upload posts or add hundreds of posts at once? Can I dynamically create posts in some way?

  • Good request – I want it too 🙂
    (for example, reading from a folder of word files or the like)

    You could create a SQL query to do it, import from a RSS feed, etc.

    What format are they in right now?

    I have most of the info in a spreadsheet, and would like to push that data into wordpress posts somehow? I’m not proficient with SQL however.

    You’d have to export the spreadsheet to a text file or something and then write a PHP script to parse and insert the data into the database.

    Or you possibly could export it to a CSV file and then write a query to parse/insert it, but most hosts don’t allow those kind of queries.

    But regardless, since you aren’t good with MySQL, you’ll probably want to hire someone. I’d try the Mailing Lists.

    i know how to do this type of thing:

    <script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”
    src=”post.txt”></script>

    i could just drop all my posts in .txt files and use a javascript to pull them into each entry… but this isn’t SEO friendly. is there some way to use a javascript like this (or something else) that is SEO friendly? i already have each of my entries in a .txt file

    Can any one think of a way for a none mySQL-person like myself – for a solution of post import from files ?

    i’m not very technical either, but this seems like a common request for non-technical people? i’d be willing to pay $ for some type of program that could acheive what talgalili mentioned: importing posts from files

    I could code the script I was talking about. Drop me a line if interested:
