We’re happy to announce a round of releases for WP All Import and our add-ons.

Import from FTP

People have been asking for this for years, and in that time we actually built it a few times. We never ended up shipping it because FTP is too much of a pain and we couldn't figure out how to build an integration that wasn't horrible and frustrating. But, after a couple rounds of UI work, we think we got it.

All of the work went into making it fault-tolerant and easy to select the file you want to use. It will retry a lot of common mistakes like the port or file protocol, and instead of having to type out the file path, it will open an FTP connection with a file browser so you can select the correct file.
