 * Hi Guys,
 * I am new to WordPress and have been learning by watching Udemy video from late
   2015 and the instructor had an option in her admin menu which was Types which
   allowed her to select a import / export option of csv / xml file.
 * I am trying to follow along but don’t have this option anywhere in my WordPress
   admin menu so I couldn’t follow what she was doing I have included a screen of
   the types menu in her WordPress.
 * Screenshot here [http://i.imgur.com/PRhOI9B.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/PRhOI9B.jpg)
 * Hoping someone might be able to explain why I don’t have this option.
 * Thanks
 * Brent

 * Hi Brent – Types is not part of the default WordPress installation. Most likely
   it is a plugin that is creating the new menu item and is used to create Custom
   Post Types.

 * I took a look to see which plugin it might be but didn’t locate it. The one I
   thought it could be creates a new menu item called Toolset rather than Types.
 * Under Tools you will have an import / export option.

 * they have a plugin installed that adds those options and you don’t. Hopefully
   they mentioned it in the video and you just missed it. If not, you may want to
   see if it s mentioned in the comments (if they have any) and/or submit a query
   to them.

   at the start hehe.
