INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE failes in postmeta table
By doing a SHOW CREATE TABLE on wp_postmeta, I got the structure of that table which included this: PRIMARY KEY (`meta_id`), So the key that MySQL can do the ‘insert or update’ on is the meta_id, which you’re not providing. Therefore in your query, it will always be added as a new row. EDIT: The … Read more
WP All Import – Using Xpath to set a select value
Looks like you can use the Variable Repeater Mode (CSV) to import your data: If your repeating data is stored in a single column in your CSV file, and is separated by a separator character, use this option.

Imported thumbnails have incorrect URL
The easiest way is to use the Cache Image plugin, which ‘sideloads’ images in your posts that are from other domains. I’ve had mixed results, mainly because it seems to not work well for thousands of posts and images – if your site is smaller you may have better results.

Is there a way to import Blogger into bbPress?
No, there isn’t. And unfortunately that’s because you’ve been using Blogger to do something it was never intended to do. I’m not saying this is a bad thing. Blogger (and WordPress) are built to handle an article format: One author publishes a large article Other writers create short-format comments Comments and replies are threaded together … Read more
Importing from XML is ignoring serialized custom field
I have recently had a lesson in serialized arrays from a friend and it all makes sense now! After working this out it finally worked on the import. Take this for example: a:1:{s:7:”address”;s:50:”52, St. Michaels Rd,Sheffield,S359YN”;} a:1: This is the array size, there is one piece of information in this array hense the 1. a:size:{key … Read more
Importing custom post types using WordPress Importer, how to check for meta field values
I guess you want to modify these lines in the WordPress-Importer plugin: $post_exists = post_exists( $post[‘post_title’], ”, $post[‘post_date’] ); if ( $post_exists && get_post_type( $post_exists ) == $post[‘post_type’] ) { to add some post meta checks. I don’t see any hooks inside the function post_exists() that we could use. Remark: I don’t recommend editing plugin … Read more
