Import WP – Export and Import CSV and XML files to WordPress

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 · 87% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Purchased the Pro version as well. It’s certainly much easier and well-thought out compared to WPAllImport and WP Ultimate CSV Importer. Pro version is also so much more reasonable compared to the ridiculous pricing of WPAllImport. But it’s more time-consuming regarding ACF fields. If the field selection and mapping UI is improved, this plugin would be a no-brainer.

   This is a fantastic plugin. It allows an incredible amount of flexibility but the best part about it is the support, each question I had was answered near instantly and any problems were addressed and fixed immediately. I am impressed. I highly recommend the pro version, it is a relatively small cost for a really helpful tool.

   I had to create different csv imports. The tool does what it is supposed to do. Certain fields would have to be configured separately for the import to work properly. The service answered all my questions and gave me specific help and instructions so that the content from the CSV is displayed correctly. Great service!
