delete after importation

Hi @guardiano78,

If you’re using the “Use existing file” option, you can enable “Delete source XML file after importing” on Step 4 of the import (under “Configure Advanced Settings”).

Otherwise, you will need to write custom code that uses the pmxi_after_xml_import hook to do it. Example: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/code-snippets/#delete-import-file-after-import.

Hello, thank you.
I’m using “Download from URL”.
I put my file in a folder on the same host but in another location.
For example: /public_html/my_folder/products.zip (zip file contains products.xml);
I need that when importation is completed, “products.zip” is deleted.
Is it possible?

thanks.

Hi @guardiano78,

That should be possible, but you’d have to write custom code that uses our API to do it (see the link above).

Hello,
I followed your advice and used the delete_import_file() function.
I add this code:

$home_path = get_home_path();
$import_name = $history_file->name;
$zip_delete = $home_path . 'my-folder/' . $import_name;
@unlink ($zip_delete);

It works!

Do you think it is the right way?
thank you.

Hi @guardiano78,

I haven’t tested it, but I don’t see any immediate issues. Looks like it should work.

Solved! thank you.
