Thanks William,
How would I label the CSV fields in order for the default WordPress importer to know which info to populate?
For example, if I need to import the street, city, state, state (long), zip code, address, and google formatted address into GEO My WordPress how would I label these fields in my CSV file prior to import?
Hey SJS719,
It is not about the names you give to the fields on the CSV. But that you assign the fields correctly when setting up the import. The fields themselved can be named whatever you need or get from the export.
The other issue is the actual format of the data. the GEO My WordPress would have specific requirements regarding the format of the data you need to import, and if you import a format that does not match that then the data would not be read in correctly and your post would be invalid.

Thanks WP All Import,
I guess the issue is that GEO MY WP doesn’t store the address in the wordpress database, it uses it’s own database so I cannot populate the correct fields in the GEO MY WP database since it is not a taxonomy, term or custom field in $wpdb.
It might not be very fun, but what you can do in that case is store the data in a custom field and then use the pmxi_saved_post hook to add the value of the custom field to wherever your plugin needs it to be.
