- Imports post title, body, excerpt, tags, date, categories etc.
- Supports custom fields, custom taxonomies and comments
- Deals with Word-style quotes and other non-standard characters using WordPress’ built-in mechanism (same one that normalizes your input when you write your posts)
- Columns in the CSV file can be in any order, provided that they have correct headings

Marketing Ploy

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.
