Hi. Thanks for the reply. I really appriciate your assistance.
Currently the terms I want imported exist in an Excel file, so from there it can be made into whatever is suitable. I am currently washing the list, removing duplicates and so on.
However I am a bit in behind on everything else, since I have not yet installed neither WordPress nor the plugin on the domain I have planned to use.
The website will not run any other content or functionality than this dictionary, (except from some widgets) and I am also looking for a simple responsive theme to go lanong with this.
Pls let me know how we can communicate regading your assistance.
Dear Kalbo, you send me an e-mail at my wp-username at gmail.com
Hi Kalbo, I haven’t heard from you so I am going to mark this topic as resolved.
Hi Kalbo,
I don’t think you’ll see this, but when and if you do, you will be pleased to know that I started working on a first version of the CSV-importer.
It will be released in version 1.7 which I hope to release before Feb 27 (and I sure hope sooner).
Keep an eye on your Plugin Updates!

Hi. I have been somewhat delayed in my project, so I will look forward to an import functionality for this plugin.
I have been looking at other plugins too, but not really found any that is better for my purpose.
I have been washing and organizing my dadabase, so now I have around 9000 terms to import.
Looking forward to the update.
Hi Kalbo,
it’s pretty close to completed, you can start by converting your file to csv in this format:
"name","description","submitter"
"Navi","Navi is a good aviator and navigator","Jeroen"
"Mister","Strong and stiringent bird, lot's of English features"
"Henk","Like the Dutch TV commercials from Henk de Vriep","Henk de Vries"
"Isa","Misters daughter","Mister"
"Harvey","Because of his suit"
The most important rules are:
– There is a header row (this contains the column names, the first row will NOT be imported)
– Fields are encapsulated by double quotes
– Fields are comma-separated
– Name is required, the second and third row are not
If you have something you’d like me to test while I fix the last bits on my part, please send the file to my wp-username @gmail.com
Version 1.7 with import functionality is released today!
