Super Speedy Imports

Moving content into WordPress by hand is slow, and it gets worse when a site has thousands of entries, custom fields and taxonomies. Super Speedy Imports handles that job in bulk. You point it at a source such as a CSV, XML or JSON file or an external database, and it brings in posts, pages and custom content while preserving the structure around them.

The plugin has an interface meant for beginners and experienced users alike. You can schedule recurring imports so content stays current without repeated manual runs, and import logs with error notifications show what happened during each run. It suits blogs, stores and corporate sites that regularly bring in data from elsewhere, and it can run on database servers without InnoDB by creating its working tables as MyISAM.

Features

• Large-scale content imports: Import thousands of posts, pages and custom content in one run, which cuts down the manual copying involved in migrations and big content updates.
• Several source formats: Bring in data from CSV, XML and JSON files as well as external databases, so you can work with whatever format your content already lives in.
• Custom fields and taxonomies: Custom fields and taxonomies are preserved and imported accurately, which keeps complex data structures intact when content moves into your site.
• Scheduled imports: Set up recurring import tasks so content is refreshed on a schedule instead of needing someone to start every run by hand.
• Logs and error notifications: Detailed import logs and error notices let you follow progress and track down problems quickly when a run does not go as expected.
• Validation of imported data: A strict validation process checks incoming data, helping guard the site against corrupted or malicious imports.
• Beginner-friendly interface: The interface is built to be simple, so newcomers and professionals can both set up and run an import without a steep learning curve.
• Works without InnoDB: On a database server that lacks InnoDB, such as WordPress Playground, imports still run using MyISAM working tables and a single worker.

Best for

• Site owners migrating large amounts of content into WordPress
• Agencies importing client data from CSV, XML or JSON
