* I very much ask you to give me a tip with the formula, since I am not very strong
in this.
* As a varied example, let’s say I have parameters like this:
* Male
Women Naughty children dogs and cats
* I use this formula to write attributes:
* `[my_map_data_Probnik({param[@name="gender"]})]`
* ```
function my_map_data_Probnik( $data ) {
$map = array(
'Male' => 'For Male',
'Women' => 'For women',
);
return ( array_key_exists( $data, $map ) ) ? $map[ $data ] : $data;
}
```
* And here’s my question:
* How to rewrite this formula to do the following:
If parameter = ‘Male’, then
write as ‘For Male’. If parameter = ‘Women’, then write as ‘For women’. If the
parameter contains the word ‘Children’, then write it as ‘For children’. If the
parameter is different, then do not write anything.
* I looked at your instructions but couldn’t find a similar example.
I very much
ask you to help me, as I cannot write the code on my own.
* Thank you in advance!

* You’d have to use if statements to do that: [https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php).
* Unfortunately, I do not have an example snippet that does exactly what you describe,
but we have a lot of code examples here that might help: [https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/code-snippets/](https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/code-snippets/).

I coped with
the task with code like this:
* ```
function my_map_data_Probnik( $data ) {
$map = array(
'Male' => 'For Male',
'Women' => 'For women',
);
if (array_key_exists($data, $map)) {
return $map[$data];
}
if (mb_strpos($data, 'children') !== false) {
return 'for children';
}
if (mb_strpos($data, 'toddlers') !== false) {
return 'for babies';
}
return null;
return ( array_key_exists( $data, $map ) ) ? $map[ $data ] : $data;
}
```
* I am sharing this code with you, suddenly it will be useful to someone.
But
there is a nuance. I don’t know if you can help me with this or not. For the
speed of the site, I connected a VPS cloud hosting. I noticed that when I use
this feature my hosting often drops the connection and the site gets an error–
No database access. The hosting says that the problem is in the site scripts –
they need to be optimized. RAM of 1 GB is not enough for this job. I specifically
checked on a YML file, which contains only 5 products. And I don’t think this
operation wastes more than 1 GB of RAM.

* By “this feature”, do you mean when you run an import? If so, imports can be
very resource-intensive and your server needs to be able to handle the amount,
and type, of data that you’re importing. This guide will help you optimize the
import and use as little resources as possible: [https://gist.github.com/trey8611/72fec5969651d5272fcb85f99b09b8bb](https://gist.github.com/trey8611/72fec5969651d5272fcb85f99b09b8bb).

* You wouldn’t think so, but it really depends on the data that’s being imported
and what’s happening in the background. For example, if you try to import 500
taxonomy terms and 50 images per-record, it’s likely going to take up a lot of
resources. Also, keep in mind that your theme and other plugins could be doing
a lot of heavy operations in the background that you’re not even aware of (these
could be per-image imported, per-term, per-record, etc).
* If the guide I sent you above doesn’t help narrow down what’s causing the resource
usage, you’ll need to work with a sysadmin to figure out exactly what’s going
on and exactly how your server needs to be configured to handle it.

* Hi [@ilyapokrov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilyapokrov/),
* I’m marking this as resolved since we haven’t heard back in a while. You can
follow up in this thread if you have more questions.
