CSV Importer

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 61% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I really love this plugin, but sometimes doesn’t worked fine for me and skipped some posts apparently without a reason. Now I’ve found a problem with accented letters commonly used in Italy, if one of these is used in the text the CVS plugin skip the post. After a lot of errors I’ve changed the “èéàìòù” characters with “a’ e’ i’ o’ u'” and what was previously skipped, is now correctly imported. Hope this helps some of you too.

   Since I often have to create custom posts in batches, this saves me a lot of time. Just be aware that csv_post_title, csv_post_excerpt and csv_post_post must be present in the input file, even if they are empty.

   I’ve used it on nearly all my sites for 4 years now, and have found it flexible enough to do most things I need, and very reliable. Easy to modify as needed.

   Tried another importer that spun off all kinds of weird stuff, and then found this. Awesome. Simple to use, good documentation. Great tool! Thanks.
