 * Hi,
 * Is there a way (or plan to implement this feature) to import from a .sql file?
   This would be VERY handy for restoring from backups, etc.

 * Hi [@seedsca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seedsca/)
 * Technically you already can upload a .sql file to WP All Import and import the
   data – but it’s not a database restore, it would be creating posts (or whatever
   post type you choose to import) from the data.

 * Oh!? A selective import of the data in the .sql file? That’s exactly what I wanted!!!
   Very nice.
 * Thanks for the awesome plugin.
