[Learn more about the rewrite](https://make.wordpress.org/core/?p=15550). Fast, lightweight, consistent. Pick three. 🌴 😎 How do I use it? ---------------- [](#how-do-i-use-it) ### Via the Dashboard [](#via-the-dashboard) 1. Install the plugin directly from GitHub. ([Download as a ZIP.](https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/archive/master.zip)) 2. Activate the plugin (make sure you also deactivate the original Wordpress Importer if you have it installed). 3. Head to Tools → Import 4. Select "WordPress (v2)" 5. Follow the on-screen instructions. ### Via the CLI [](#via-the-cli) The plugin also includes CLI commands out of the box. Simply activate the plugin, then run: ``` wp wxr-importer import import-file.xml ``` Run `wp help wxr-importer import` to discover what you can do via the CLI. Current Status -------------- [](#current-status) The current major items are currently missing or suboptimal in the Importer: - **Web UI** ([\#1](https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/issues/1)): Right now, there's essentially *no* web interface for the importer. This sucks. Done! - **Automatic Testing**: There's no unit tests. Boooooo. How can I help? --------------- [](#how-can-i-help) The best way to help with the importer right now is to **try importing and see what breaks**. Compare the old importer to the new one, and find any inconsistent behaviour. We have a [general feedback thread](https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/issues/7) so you can let us know how it goes. If the importer works perfectly, let us know. If something doesn't import the way you think it should, you can file a new issue, or leave a comment to check whether it's intentional first. :) License ------- [](#license) The WordPress Importer is licensed under the GPLv2 or later.
