EffectIO Striking Multiflex WordPress Importer 0.8.3

Description:

The Striking Multiflex WordPress Importer 0.8.3 is a tool for bringing content into a WordPress site from a WordPress export file. An export file is the file format that WordPress itself produces when a site's content is saved for transfer, and this importer reads that file and recreates its contents on the site where the import is run. This makes it possible to move material between WordPress installations without rebuilding it by hand.

The range of content that the importer handles is broad. It imports posts, pages and other custom post types, so anything published through the WordPress writing system can be transferred, not only the two default content types. Alongside the content itself, it imports comments and comment meta, meaning that reader discussion attached to posts travels with them, together with the extra data stored about each comment.

Beyond posts and comments, the importer also brings across custom fields and post meta. These are the pieces of additional information that can be attached to any post, page or custom post type, and they are often essential for themes and plugins that rely on structured data. The importer also handles categories, tags and terms from custom taxonomies, along with term meta. In practice this means the whole classification structure of the source site, whether built on the standard category and tag systems or on taxonomies created by a theme or plugin, is reproduced on the destination site, including the extra data stored for each term.

Finally, the importer imports authors, so the people who wrote the content are carried over as part of the transfer. Taken together, these capabilities cover the main content structures of a WordPress site: the written content, the discussion around it, the metadata attached to both content and classification terms, the taxonomy structure itself, and the author records. Anyone who needs to move a complete body of WordPress content from one site to another, or restore content from an export file, can use this importer for the task. Further information and instructions are available in the documentation on Importing Content provided at wordpress.org, which explains the process in detail.
