 * Looking for a business directory theme or plugin and I read a lot of recommendations
   for the Advanced Classifieds & Directory Pro plugin. My question is, can I add
   Locations in bulk, importing them to the database directly?
 * Because I want to add cities/countries in my directory and they are in excel 
   files and too many of them to add one-by-one manually.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * You can easily import posts/customposts/users data available in your CSV file
   using the [WP ultimate CSV Import Free plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ultimate-csv-importer/).
 * Doing the customization works in WP Ultimate CSV Importer Free plugin for any
   Directory plugin assists one to import the records on any desired field.
 * For more help, kindly contact support[at]smackcoders[dot]com. Our support team
   will help you.

 * Hi,
 * Very sorry. Our current version doesn’t have any tool to bulk import. But, this
   is already on the roadmap and can expect this in the future.
    But, still, there
   are some third-party plugins in wordpress.org website those helps to import/export
   custom post types and taxonomies.
 *  “Advanced Classifieds and Directory Pro” strictly follows all the WordPress 
   standards. The plugin uses Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies to manage 
   its data.
 *  Listings = acadp_listings (CPT)
    Fields = acadp_fields (CPT) linked to categories
   and loaded as custom fields in the listings form.
 *  Categories = acadp_categories (Taxonomy)
    Locations = acadp_locations (Taxonomy)
 *  and SETTINGS API
 *  So, I’m 100% sure there must be a plugin that handles export for these standard
   WordPress features and I can find some too. But, I haven’t tried any plugin so
   far. So, It’s hard to suggest any plugin for you.
 * Thanks
