I’d do an Export of your blog, then look at that file to learn how to contruct an XML file that you can import into WordPress using Manage->Import->WordPress.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. Your way seems to be the best method to bulk load. However, I am unable to understand as to what value should I pass for the following tags:
<wp:postmeta>
<wp:meta_key>_edit_lock</wp:meta_key>
<wp:meta_value>1228244329</wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>
<wp:postmeta>
<wp:meta_key>_edit_last</wp:meta_key>
<wp:meta_value>1</wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>
Before loading data, I will be create all the required categories and reference them in the xml file.
I have created couple of sample posts and exported data into xml file and have noticed that “<wp:meta_value>1228244329</wp:meta_value>” value keeps changing between posts. However, a value of “1” is constant in the second occurrence in all the posts.
Your kind help in this regard is appreciated.
Regards
I am having the same issue. I have not found the solution to what the <wp:meta_value>1228244329</wp:meta_value> is
have you?
i too would love an answer to this question… or maybe an alternative solution to bulk load posts?
I wouldn’t worry about it too much.. I am in middle of something and actually I needed this information but…. I just realized. This is probably some kind of lock, so 2 people don’t edit the same post at the same time (or something similar). _edit_last has value 1 – probably id of a user you are using. you’re probably first user of this blog, right? 😉
Maybe this is unix timestamp -> http://www.unixtimestamp.com/index.php
“1228244329” means in human language “12 / 02 / 08 @ 12:58pm”
It can be LAST EDIT time
Hi, I made a plugin that allows users to import files that use the CSV format. With a properly set up file, you can import dozens, or even hundreds of pages into categories you’ve set up.
