It allows you to import from any 22 CSV or XML files to any contents, small or large volume. Data in other formats, such as Mysql databases, or spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice, LibreOffice etc) can be easily exported/converted to CSV for import into Wordpress. Online inquiries and incoming emails can be analysed and imported with some custom coding. 23 24 Data imported can be displayed on your website for public viewing, or for users granted with access privilege.

You can import to any contents including custom fields created and used by other plugins. (Some features are available in professional version only) 35 36 CIO Custom Fields Importer is possibly one of the most useful productivity plugins meeting ALL of your data import needs. Smart business owners, managers, website owners and developers should keep in the tool box in creating high performance heavy duty content management system (CMS) with automatic data feeding. 37 38 CIO Custom Fields Importer was originally developed to feed data to a property investment analysis service which needs to handle millions of records efficiently. You can be reasonably confident it will meet your data import needs in the foreseeable future. 39 40 41 How Does It Work 42 22 43 23 44 CIO Custom Fields Importer is an add-on plugin linking the following two powerful tools together in delivering an efficient and affordable high performance solution for small and medium businesses. … … 25 46 * [PODS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/). PODS is a free, simple, flexible and powerful CMS framework designed for high performance with large data sets. You can use PODS to extend content types with custom fields, or create custom content types of your own. PODS unleashes the power of Wordpress in creating highly customised and optimised CMS. 26 47 27 One of the distinct features of PODS is multiple select bi-directional relationship. Suppose you have two custom post types ("author" and "book"), with some books written by a few authors together. You set up multiple select bi-directional field, and in the "book" custom post type you update authors. When you open the "author" custom posts of each author, the books written by the author are automatically displayed. This feature is cool, isn't it? Especially this is done using a graphical user interface to set up fields and templates without any programming, even by people without programming experience. 48 One of the distinct features of PODS is multiple select bi-directional relationship. Suppose you run an online store selling DVDs, and you have three custom post types ("movie", "star", "review"). Each movie has a few stars (actors and actresses) and a few reviews, each star appears in a few movies, and the reviewers write about a few movies. This is called many-to-many relationships. First, you set up the three custom content types with multiple select bi-directional fields in PODS. In the "movie" custom post type you choose stars from a list of stars, select reviews from a list of reviews, and save the post. The next step? There is no next step. It is done. Simple, intuitive, without coding, without flow chart, without middle steps. When your customers open the "movie" custom post, they will see the performing stars, and movie reviews. When they open the "star" custom posts, they will see the movies of the star. This feature is cool, isn't it? Especially this is achieved using a graphical user interface to set up fields and templates without any programming. It can even be done by people without programming experience. The code handling the relationships is written and optimised by professional programmers who maintain PODS. 49 50 And PODS doesn't stop there. It enables you to extend custom content types created by other plugins, create and assign user roles, and create relationships to other content types, themes, database tables outside of Wordpress, and even network sites. With PODS you can create any relationships that you imagine. The combination is endless. 51 52 When we were developing the database solution for investment property analysis service, we researched and compared the database frameworks and found PODS offers the easiest user interface in managing relationships and yet still has the potential to mange huge database tables as user data grows. For more information please visit PODS website, or send an email to us for a free consultation. 28 53 29 54 30 55 * [WP All Import](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-import/). WP All Import is a well developed tool to handle imports from larger XML and CSV files. The free version of WP All Import comes with logging, detection of duplicate records, and templates for future imports and updates, and allows you to import to standard Wordpress fields (title, content, slug, categories etc). 31 56 32 The free version of CIO Custom Fields Importer allows you to import to custom fields in custom posts created or extended with PODS. The pro version of CIO Custom Fields Importer enables you to import to all PODS content types (including PODS advanced content types), and content types (objects) created with other plugins, such as 57 CIO Custom Fields Importer takes the data parsed by WP All Import and uses the native API of PODS to save data to custom fields. It supports all field types of PODS. 58 59 The free version of CIO Custom Fields Importer allows you to import to custom fields in custom posts created or extended with PODS. The pro version of CIO Custom Fields Importer enables you to import to ALL PODS content types (including PODS advanced content types), Wordpress builtin types, and content types (objects) created with other plugins, such as 33 60 34 61 * Wordpress users (importing meta fields and assigning role by each usesr) … … 49 76 50 77 If you are a developer, you will LOVE PODS framework for fast delivery of feature rich CMS solutions, and your customers will LOVE you because CIO Custom Fields Importer together with WP All Import saves them hours, days, even years of time accumulatively when they use your system to manage contents.
