Import/Export Featured Images by URL via CSV

[tierrioliveira]

Hi there,

Your plugin works really fine in my template, I'm really thankful for it. I'd like to suggest one improvement: it would be great if we could import/export those links via CSV. Currently, we can only add those links manually so if we have thousands of images it's difficult to process them.

Thanks again!

Hello @tierrioliveira,

Thanks for suggesting improvement. Yes, currently we don't have a functionality for a CSV import because its not very common that import/export only featured image URL by CSV files. Generally people import/export it with post or CPT imports. So, you can import Featured image by URL into custom post meta field by import/export functionality. custom field for featured image is _knawatfibu_url so you can use it.

Don't know your use-case how do you want to use it but happy to help you if you share.

Thanks.

Is there any plan to support this? I wanted to open an issue but realized that @tierrioliveira has already reported this. I use the CSV importer since importing through the REST API takes a lot of time, so bulk importing via CSV is a better option.

Hi, I was able to do mass import from my CSV file using 'wp all import' plugin by grabbing the custom field '_knawatfibu_url' under the key 'img_url' (you can auto detect, or put manually as serialized) and even added one image to the gallery using the '_knawatfibu_wcgallary' custom field under the key 'url', now, how could I add several images to that '_knawatfibu_wcgallary' custom field?

I already tried adding several image URLs separated by comma, but that didn't work...

Any suggestion?
