 * Your documentation for importing into WP Knowledge Base states:
    Yes. You can
   import/export data using the built in WordPress function via Tools.
 * Can I get any more information on using this tool? I need to tell the records
   where to go (Knowledge Base table?) and perhaps check mapping or something.
 * I created a CPT but that puts the records in a completely different place.
 * How do I specifically import into WP-Knowledge-Base?
 * Thanks,
    Lynne

 * On import you should be asked which post type you want the posts to go to. You
   would then select WP Knowledgebase.
 * If that’s not displaying for you, then just import them into the blog posts area,
   then use Post Type Switcher plugin to move them to the WP Knowledgebase. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-switcher/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-switcher/)
 * Hope that helps 🙂

 * No I’m not getting the post type question. I don’t know how to import them into
   the blog posts area.
 * I did change something in my XML file (changed the link to correct /knowledgebase/)
   but I’m now getting an invalid post type error. My post type in the XML is “knowledgebase”(
   without quotes) — what should this be for the CPT that WP-Knowledge-base uses?

 * Folup – I changed the post-type to “kbe_knowledgebase” and seem to have moved
   past that error. Is that the correct post-type?
 * Now I’m having trouble (Fail) importing b/c of the categories. What should <category
   domain=” ” nicename=”my-slug”> be?
 * Thanks!

 * So this can be marked resolved. I used an import plugin (WP All Import) and was
   able to get the mapping correct.
 * Thanks,

 * Thanks for posting your solution Lynne, hopefully, that will be helpful for other
   users who stumble across this thread. [WP All Import can be found here.](https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-import/)
