Screenshots
Import from Anywhere
Import from a local file on your PC, a URL or a server file path:
Graphical Template Editor
Create post and page ‘templates’ using the graphical TinyMCE editor. The fields marked with “#” are replaced by the input data during the import.
You can write any HTML as part of the post body, so it’s possible to create posts with links to images, PDF files, etc.
Post / Page Options
Every possible post and page option can be set during the import. Random dates can be used if you would like to make the imported posts cover a particular period of time.
Categories and Tags
Posts and tags can be assigned to existing categories or categories can be read from the input file. Multiple categories and tags can be specified.
Automatically create category hierarchies from the input data – creating blogs like city/state/zip
Custom Fields
Custom fields can be read from the input file and populated in each post. TurboCSV can also automatically create new custom fields from the columns in the input file:
Templates
Your favorite settings can be saved as a ‘template’ so nothing needs to be re-entered if you want to import a similar file again:
History and Undo
The ‘history’ view shows all completed imports and their status.
Any import can be automatically and completely rolled back. Posts/pages created during the import will be deleted, or if they were updated they’ll be restored to the version that was active before the import. Any created categories and tags will also be deleted if they’re not in use.
Import Log and Audit Trail
All import operations are logged with a timestamp and the ID of the user who performed the import, and any messages that occur during an import or undo operation are logged.
