I need to import places with their corresponding account contact/company info from a CSV from eDirectory. It looks like I need to do this in several stages. While tedious, I can do it this way. But, is there a simpler way to do this with the existing import tool(s)? I am also using WP All Import/Export but the imported data does not align with where the exported template directs.

Hi Timothy,

You shouldn’t use 3rd party plugins to import the listings but instead, use the built-in import feature from GD. Kindly refer to this section of the documentation https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/

Thanks!

I understand using the GD Importer is best. “I need to import places with their corresponding account contact/company info from a CSV from eDirectory (file attached). Is there a simpler way to do this with the existing import tool(s)?”

Hi Timothy,

Unfortunately, there is no quick way for this. You’ll have to prepare all these custom fields and export a sample csv from GD. Then, reinsert the data from the “eDirectory” csv file manually into the sample csv.
