Importing Items Using Excel Spreadsheets (CSV)


Updated on Tuesday, April 5th, 2011


Introduction

All of our PremiumPress themes have a built-in CSV upload and update tool, this means you can setup listing within a spreadsheet and upload them directly into your website.

You can download a pre-formatted CSV file for your website using the tools -> CSV tab within the admin area.

Useful Column Keys

The FIRST row of your CSV file must contain the column headers, custom field key names can also be included in the first column allowing you to import custom field data. Here is a list of useful column keys used within your CSV header row.

Required column headers
post_title
post_excerpt
post_content

Other possible wordpress headings

post_author
post_date
post_date_gmt
post_status

post_modified
post_modified_gmt
post_content_filtered
post_parent
guid
menu_order
