Hi @gabster1501,

Is there like a Priority when importing into categories that the URL would be prioritized over the name?

WP All Import is supposed to check for taxonomy terms via slug first.

What would the import do, if there are 2 Categories with the same name (but different URL), one as a main and one as a child category?

It depends on the slug. Let’s say that you have a main category named “A Cat” with the slug “a-cat”, that one will be chosen if you import “A Cat”. However, if you have a main category named “A Cat” with the slug “a-cool-cat”, and then a sub-category named “A Cat” with the slug “a-cat”, then the sub-category will be chosen.

Or should I use something like “Cat A > Cat B” to save into the child?

That would help if you are using non-standard slugs and the slugs are not in the import file.

If this advice doesn’t fix the issue, can you please send me screenshots showing your category settings in the import template and which versions of our plugins you’re using?

Hi @fadedfamous,

I don’t see anything wrong with your import settings, but I see that you’re using the Pro version of WP All Import, so you’ll need to contact our support team for assistance here: http://www.wpallimport.com/support/. These forums are strictly for the free plugins.

Hi @boybawang,

I just want to have the data stored in my database so I can retrieve it from a custom script. Is this possible? I don’t necessarily want to create any new posts from the data. I just want it stored in the database.

Unfortunately, there’s currently no built-in option to do that. You’d have to select to import posts, then write custom code that uses this hook – https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/action-reference/#wp_all_import_is_post_to_create – to store the data in your custom database table and then stop the creation of the post.

Hi @sspools,

Thanks for the screenshots.

This is likely happening due to “Update all data” being enabled in the import settings. There’s a doc here that explains why you can’t use that with an “Existing Items” import that’s updating variable products, and what settings you should use instead: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/import-types/.

If you need further assistance after trying that, please contact us at http://www.wpallimport.com/support/. You’re using our Pro plugins and Pro features, which we can’t help with in this forum (it’s only for our free plugins).

Hi @fadedfamous,

Can you please show me a screenshot of your import settings (All Import › Manage Imports › Import Settings)? Also, is there any mention of the trashed products in the import History Log (All Import › Manage Imports › History Logs)?

Also, what versions of our plugins are you using?

Hi @patbell101,

Please change the “Email” column header to “user_email”. That should fix it.

Hi @fodisery,

Scheduling is a Pro feature, so please send this question via the support channel here: http://www.wpallimport.com/support/. We can only answer questions about the free plugin/features on this forum.

Hi @gman87,

I’m marking this as resolved since we haven’t heard back in a while. Feel free to follow up in this thread if you still have questions.

Anyone else, please open a new topic.
