Frequently Asked Questions on How to Import WordPress Categories and Tags
What is the difference between categories and tags?
They're both used to classify posts, hence the term "taxonomies." The difference is that categories are generally used to group posts, while tags are used to describe them. In either case, both help you organize your posts.
How does my WordPress category and tag data need to be structured?
It doesn't matter. Our Drag & Drop interface allows you to map any incoming data elements to any category or tag fields, so there's no need to organize your data beforehand. You can even modify your data as part of the import process.
Do I have to use a separate import for my WordPress categories and tags? How do I link my posts to my taxonomies?
It's up to you. When importing posts, our plugin can automatically match to existing terms and create new ones if necessary. To import term meta and images, you'll need a dedicated import.
What if my import CSV doesn't match the WordPress categories and tags on my site?
Let's assume that your import data has products tagged 'Kids', but you want them to be tagged 'Children' to match your site. Just create a mapping rule, and WP All Import will automatically process your data during the import.
How to import categories into WooCommerce?
You can import categories into WooCommerce the same way you do any other taxonomy. Just select Taxonomies as the import type, then choose the WooCommerce category that you are targeting as the subtype. That's the beauty of WP All Import —everything is handled the same way!
Can I import categories and tags to pages?
If you have used a plugin to add categories and tags to WordPress pages, then, yes, you can import those categories and tags. Our software automatically recognizes the custom post types and fields added by most WordPress themes and plugins, allowing you to treat them just like standard types/fields.
