Let’s dive into how this feature works with WP Ultimate CSV Importer.
Exporting a Single Post/Page/Custom Post
The Single post CSV Export feature allows you to download selected content as a CSV file in just a click. To get started, ensure you have the WP Ultimate CSV Importer plugin installed and activated. Once you’re set, follow these steps to export a single post:
1. Navigate to the desired Post Type
Log in to your WordPress dashboard and visit the post type you want to export—this could be Posts, Pages, Custom Posts, or even WooCommerce Products. Open the post you wish to export by clicking on it to access the Edit View.
2. Locate the Import/Export Menu
In the Edit View of the record, look for the Import/Export icon. If WP Ultimate CSV Importer is installed, this icon will appear in the WordPress menu bar. Click the icon to open the Import/Export Sidebar.
3. Export the Post as a CSV File
Switch to the Export tab in the sidebar. Click the Export CSV button. Download the post data by providing a name for the CSV file to your computer.
4. Review the Exported CSV File
Open the file to ensure all fields and their values have been accurately exported. Avoid modifying the headers in the CSV file. The headers are formatted specifically for the import process. However, you can safely update field values, such as the post content or title, before importing. With the post exported, you’re ready to move on to the next step: importing.
Importing a Single Post
Once you’ve exported a post as a CSV file, importing it into another WordPress instance is just as straightforward. Here’s how:
1. Navigate to the Target Site
Log in to the WordPress dashboard of the site where you want to import the post. Go to the Add New view for the same post type (e.g., Posts, Pages, or Custom Posts).
2. Access the Import/Export Sidebar
Click the Import/Export icon in the Add New view to open the sidebar. By default, you’ll be on the Import tab.
3. Import the CSV File
Click the Choose File button and select the CSV file you exported earlier. Click Open to upload the file.
Hit the Upload Import button to start the import process.
4. Confirm the Import
Within seconds, the import process will complete and a success message will appear, showing the newly imported post’s ID and a Click Here button. Use the click here button to view the imported post and verify that all fields and values have been successfully imported.
