 * Hello There!
    I’m using your plugin on a client website and it working like a
   charm! Absolutely good piece of software, my congrats! My only problem is: this
   site is a wordpress version from an older asp site. I imported successfully all
   the contents, around 4000 posts of different types. Now….can I insert my post
   relations with some kind of import, batch procedure? I have xml files with post
   id, original post id (from old asp site) and related id (again from old asp site).
   this means that the relation I have is between original id. Can this be done 
   in some way, maybe via MySql? I’m willing also to pay a reasonable fee for support
   if necessary, as this would save me hours of tedious manual work.
 * Thank you guys!!

 * Hi there,
 * I could look into adding an import from XML feature.
 * Is it possible for you to get the relations in the new IDs instead of the original
   ones?
    What’s the deadline for this?
 * Kind regards,
    Brecht

 * Hello Brecht,
 * thanks for your prompt answer. The deadline is tight, and unfortunately I could
   not have the relations with updated id. Maybe there could be a way to scan the
   files and replace the ids in the relationships field….I don’t know. Do you have
   any idea? Any help is really highly appreciated!

 * Could you send an example XML file to [brecht@bootstrapped.ventures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-relations/brecht@bootstrapped.ventures?output_format=md)?
   
   I’ll take a look.

 * For anyone else reading: I just released version 1.1 which includes this import
   from XML feature. An example XML file can be found on the Settings > Custom Related
   Posts > Import Relations page.
