GeoDirectory WP All Import

Filling a directory by hand takes a long time, and keeping it accurate takes even longer. This add-on lets you move listing data from an outside source into GeoDirectory in batches. You map the incoming data to your listing fields, so location details, custom fields, categories and images arrive where they belong.

It works as an add-on to two plugins: GeoDirectory and WP All Import. The import engine comes from WP All Import, and this plugin teaches it how GeoDirectory stores listings. That suits local business directories, niche listing sites and larger directory projects, and it works with GeoDirectory add-ons too. Documentation is available to help newcomers get started with import tools.

Features

• Works through WP All Import: The plugin uses the WP All Import engine to bring listings into GeoDirectory, so you can import from CSV, XML and other data formats.
• Batch import of listings: Import many listings in one run, including location details, custom fields, categories and images, which keeps directory data consistent from entry to entry.
• Custom field support: Map incoming data to your own GeoDirectory custom fields so listings keep the extra detail your directory relies on.
• Taxonomy and location data: Categories, taxonomies and location information can be imported with the listings, so each entry is placed correctly in your directory structure.
• Update existing listings: Bring in a fresh file to change listings already on your site, which helps you keep directory data current without re-entering it manually.
• Customizable data fields: Choose how fields in your source file line up with listing fields, so you control what goes where during an import.
• Compatible with GeoDirectory add-ons: The importer is designed to work alongside GeoDirectory add-ons, so extended directory setups can still receive imported data.
• Built with the WP All Import team: The add-on was developed and tested with the WP All Import team to work with both GeoDirectory and WP All Import.
