Download Monitor CSV Importer

Adding downloads one at a time gets slow once a library grows. Entering the title, category, tags and file for each entry by hand takes hours and invites small mistakes. This plugin handles the job from a single CSV file, so thousands of downloads can come in during one import instead of through repeated manual entry.

It fits sites that already use Download Monitor to manage digital files. That includes moving downloads over from another platform or merging several sources into one library. The importer preselects CSV columns that match Download Monitor fields, and step-by-step instructions guide you through the process. Developers can also extend how it works if a project calls for it.

Features

• Mass import from CSV: Bring in thousands of downloads in one pass using a simple CSV file, which replaces the repetitive work of creating each download entry by hand.
• Automatic column mapping: The importer preselects CSV columns that match the correct Download Monitor fields, which cuts setup time and reduces the chance of mismatched data.
• Categories and tags included: Metadata such as categories and tags comes across with each download, so your library stays organized after the import finishes.
• File attachments imported: Files associated with each download are part of the import, so entries arrive ready to use instead of needing files added afterward.
• Step-by-step guidance: Clear instructions walk you through each stage of the import, which makes bulk importing approachable for beginners and for experienced users.
• Built for Download Monitor: The importer works inside the Download Monitor plugin, so imported entries sit alongside the downloads you already manage there.
• WordPress.org and WordPress.com Business: The plugin is compatible with WordPress.org sites and with the WordPress.com Business plan, which covers many setups built around digital files.
• Open to developer changes: No coding is needed to run an import, though developers can customize and extend the plugin when a project needs something specific.
