Import Listings into the Listify Theme

Description

The Listify Add-On for WP All Import makes it easy to bulk import your business directory to the Listify theme in less than 10 minutes.

The left side shows all of the fields that you can import to and the right side displays a listing from your XML/CSV file. Then you can simply drag & drop the data from your XML or CSV into the Listify fields to import it.

The importer is so intuitive it is almost like manually adding a listing in Listify.

We have several other add-ons available, each specific to a different theme. This is a walkthrough of the Realia Add-On, which is very similar to the Listify Add-On.

Why you should use the Listify Add-On for WP All Import

  • Instead of using the Custom Fields section of WP All Import, you are shown the fields like Listing Expiry Date, Company Name, etc. in plain English.

  • Automatically find the listing location just like manually adding a listing.

  • Full support for Listify’s search dropdowns, categories, settings, and fields.

  • Supports files in any format and structure. There are no requirements that the data in your file be organized in a certain way. CSV imports into Listify is easy, no matter the structure of your file.

  • Supports files of practically unlimited size by automatically splitting them into chunks. WP All Import is limited solely by your server settings.

WP All Import Professional Edition

The Listify Add-On for WP All Import is fully compatible with the free version of WP All Import.

However, the professional edition of WP All Import includes premium support and adds the following features:

  • Import files from a URL: Download and import files from external websites, even if they are password protected with HTTP authentication.

  • Custom PHP Functions: Pass your data through custom functions by using [my_function({data[1]})] in your import template. WP All Import will pass the value of {data[1]} through my_function and use whatever it returns.

  • Access to premium technical support.

Recently tested to import ads in Listify V.2.0.5, this Add-on works perfectly. I uploaded the ads from a csv file. I have not tested the import with xls files. To work, this add-on needs the main plugin “WP ALL IMPORT”. To import all the information I wanted, I associated this add-on with the following add-ons: WP All Import – WP Job Manager Add-On WP All Import – Yoast WordPress SEO Add-On
