#Tutorial: Importing Listings with the WP Pro Real Estate 7 Add-On for WP All Import
WP All Import allows you to import posts and custom post types (like listings) using CSV, XML, and XLS files. The WP Pro Real Estate 7 Add-On will customize WP All Import to seamlessly import all of your listings in to the WP Pro Real Estate 7 theme.
#Preparing Your CSV File WP All Import can handle any valid CSV file and it doesn't care what order your columns or in or how they're labeled. With WP All Import Pro you can even pass your data through custom PHP functions during the import process.
Columns you may want to include in your file:
- Property Title
- Property Description
- Location (address or latitude/longitude)
- Slider Images
- Files & Documents
- Video URL
- Listing Price
- Listing Details (price, property ID, fees, etc)
#Importing your CSV File First go to the WP All Import section of your WordPress admin panel and click ‘New Import’.
You’ll be prompted to upload your CSV file. Then, select 'Listings' from the items dropdown and Continue to Step 2.
In Step 2, verify that your import file was correctly uploaded and understood by WP All Import. If everything looks good, Continue to Step 3.
#Configuring your Import Template
In Step 3 you will need to tell WP All Import how to import each of the columns in your CSV file. Simply drag the data from right to left:
When you're done configuring your import template, Continue to Step 4 where you’ll choose a Unique ID (you should pretty much always use 'Auto Detect'). Then you can review your import and click 'Confirm & Run Import'.
