ParticipantHello,
We have a custom post type called Disease with a custom field called "Symptom". There will be many symptoms for each Disease. All of this seems to be working fine. Now we need to figure out how to import the data. Importing diseases through WP All Import via csv is easy. But how to import the Symptoms? What format in the csv file should the symptoms be?- All symptoms in one cell? Separated somehow like sysmptom1;symptoms2;symptom3
- Many columns, one per symptom?

ModeratorHi,
If you’re going to import/export simple fields (like text, select, radio, checkbox, etc.), then you can use these plugins to do the job:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ultimate-exporter/For complex fields, we need to code for the integration. We’re still working on it.

Yes, we are already using wp all import so we are aware of how to import data. The question was specifically about claneable fields. What is the format? How are values separated? Can they be imported in one cell with seperators like commas? Or do they need their own file?
March 5, 2021 at 10:57 PM #24737ModeratorHi,
I think the format like the serialized string in the database, for example
a:2:{i:0;s:5:"text3";i:1;s:5:"text4";}You can try to use the plugin WP All Export to export the data with custom fields then re-import it.
March 6, 2021 at 5:18 PM #24745ParticipantOk thanks I'll try the export
