@Bruce – yes I’ll join those saying they would pay a nice sum for an official importer.
Hi – same here, I almost got it working with a nested XML. I could populate the repeater field… but if the record had too many entries the whole process would time out. Also, the client would need to convert their CSV to XML first, which would be beyond them. So I’ve reverted to using CSV and have restructured my posts so that the repeater field isn’t required – using another custom post type for the repeater data instead, grouping together with taxonomies & linking to them with ACF select taxonomy. Its not ideal but it does the job.
But you did it! I’ll keep trying then… If you had time to drop any hints how you got it working some time I’d appreciate it. I’ve managed to populate the repeater field, but only the final record appears in the post, I think because it overwrites the previous record each time as it processes the file.
Thanks everyone this thread has been helpful pointing me in the right direction. I’ve imported data fairly easily using WP All Import, but only by creating multiple posts. What I really need to be able to do is populate a repeater field within a single post with multiple records from my CSV. I’m not sure it can be done – I haven’t heard anything back from WP All Import support yet. Has anyone here had any success importing to repeater fields?
Did you ever work this out? I’ve got exactly the same issue here.
