We’re excited to roll out a powerful update to WP Ultimate CSV Importer—designed to give you more control, flexibility, and stability when importing content into your WordPress site. Whether you’re handling thousands of records or fine-tuning a few, this release is all about helping you import exactly what you need, the way you need it. Without any further delay, let’s dive into what’s new.
Here’s What’s New:
- Iteration-Based Import: Handle large imports more reliably with smart manageable batching.
- Advanced Filtering Options: Import only the data that matters with multiple AND and OR rules.
- TSV File Format: Now import and export tab-separated files alongside CSV and XML.
- WebP Image Import: Bring in modern, optimized images without extra conversion steps.
Let’s explore each feature and how to start using them in your workflow.
Import in Iterations – Control Large Imports
Running into server timeouts or slow uploads when importing large files? With the new iteration-based import, you can now break large imports into smaller chunks. This reduces memory load, improves stability, and ensures your import process doesn’t crash halfway through.
Why does it help?
- Handles large datasets without breaking
- Prevents timeout errors
- More predictable import sessions
You get to define how many records should be processed in each cycle. For instance, if you have 3000 records and set the iteration size to 50, the importer will run 60 small cycles to complete the job. This helps prevent crashes and keeps the process stable.
You can configure this feature in the import configuration section while importing. There you’ll see an option “Do you want adaptive file processing of record?”. Enable it and add the number for the records to process per iteration.

Import with Filters – Only What You Need
No need to clean your files before import—filter exactly what gets into your site, directly from the importer.
Sometimes, not all data in your file is relevant. You may want to import only published posts, products above or with the specific price range, or entries that include images. The new filter feature helps you target exactly what you need, without editing your original file.
You don’t always need every row in your CSV or Excel file—and now, you don’t have to import them all. With the new filtering options, you can set conditions (like only importing rows where the status is “publish” or where price > 100) and import just the data that matters.
Why it helps:
- Skip unnecessary data
- Tailor imports based on conditions
- Saves time during cleanup
You can apply one or more filter rules during import and decide how they should work together using AND/OR logic.
This feature is accessible in the mapping area where you can see a new widget ‘Manager Filtering Options’ at the bottom of the page. Unfold it to add conditions. You can apply multiple conditions using AND and OR rules.

TSV File Format Support – More Flexibility
Not everyone works with CSVs. If you’re using TSV (Tab-Separated Values) files, you can now upload and import them just like any CSV file—no conversions required. You can also export WordPress data in TSV file format, providing you more flexibility in accessing the import and export.
Why it helps:
- Supports more file formats
- No need to manually convert TSV files
- Ideal for data exported from certain systems (like Excel or ERPs)
Just like other file imports such as CSV or XML, you import the TSV files into WordPress with WP Ultimate CSV Importer.
