I needed to import 100 posts. This plugin made it as simple as putting everything in an excel sheet and hitting 1 button, it let me set the title, date, url (slug), categories, tags, post status (published/draft etc…) and the post text itself. The only thing the free tier didn’t allow is including the featured image. This is very generous for a very well made product. Highly recommended.

I was given a 250 page HTML that was built using Dreamweaver templates and told it needed to go into Wordpress. This plugin came to my attention as I devised a plan to escape copy-and-paste hell. I used the Screaming Frog web scraper to build my Excel file so each page had a row consisting columns that included slug, page-title, and page-content. Then I used the Excel Importer plugin to create a Wordpress page based off the information in each row of the Excel file. It worked like a charm and I didn’t even need to buy the Pro Version (I know this matters to some of you).
