# Custom Fields Import

 * What is the catch to importing custom fields?
    All fields are created with the
   key that corresponds to the ones inside import settings page Custom fields Section.
   They are connected to the values from the csv file. However, they are not created
   or updated by the import. I do not want to buy ACF addon or Pro version since
   this functionality is listed here in the Free version. `Import data to Custom
   Fields – used by many themes, especially those using Custom Post Types – to store
   data associated with the posts.`
 * Am I missing something? How can I make this work?

 * So I got a Pro version from a friend to test. The same import on the same WP 
   with the same data, it works out of the box…

 * Hi [@lupetalo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lupetalo/)
 * The free version of WP All Import does not support importing into Custom Fields.
