Everything You Need for Reliable Imports

Ideal for migrations, bulk updates, feeds, and "round-trip" workflows with Apex Export.

Supported Destinations

Posts & CPT, Users (create/update + meta + role), Comments (parent post matching), Taxonomy Terms (categories/tags/custom taxonomies) with hierarchy support.

Smart CSV Parser

Auto-detect delimiters and character encoding. Works even with "quirky" CSVs from external systems.

Flexible XML

Parses nested structures with automatic node detection, making it easy to import from various XML schemas.

Drag & Drop Mapping

Drag file columns onto WordPress fields. Auto-match by name covers most cases instantly.

Duplicate Detection

Skip or Update existing records, with a "match by" field: ID, slug, title, email, SKU, and more.

Import History

Log of every import: file name, destination, date, record count, and status. A complete log stored securely for easy review.

Controlled and Predictable Import

Apex Import is focused on safety and clarity: first you see a preview, then map columns, enable Dry-Run, and only then confirm changes. Everything runs in manageable batches so there are no timeouts even with thousands of rows.

  • Auto-match by name (faster mapping)
  • Dry-run shows created/updated/skipped/errors
  • Real-time progress bar + counter
  • Compatible with Apex Export files (round-trip)
Duplicate Handling Stability

Duplicates: Skip or Update

Duplicate detection is crucial for "feed" imports and bulk updates. Choose a match-by field and the rule: skip or update existing records.

  • Match by: ID, slug, title, email, SKU…
  • Skip — ignores existing records
  • Update — overwrites existing with new data
  • Extensible duplicate rules for advanced scenarios
