Featured image, gallery import

Hi,

Yes, You have to resize your images manually or using css style option in post content. This is because during bulk uploads to avoid more images are generated. Regarding galary in a post you can use any galary plugin shortcodes in post content.

Hey.

Niklas.sven I would like to know how you can import gallery images that are attached to a post? In my CSV I have a column that is listed with image urls, I would like to import those images attached to the corresponding post as a gallery.

Kind Regards.
Shaun.

This is not possible as the current version only supports inline images in post content, not directly as to create and assign a gallery from inline images. To create a gallery of images, the images should be imported to a gallery plugins first. This can be done separately. If you use a plugin that can generate galleries from a set of images as short codes, then you can use those short codes within post content in csv. Hope this helps.

I just imported, and I have defined additional image sizes in functions.php.

I imported .csv and define image source from web as featured image, and it imports images and create additional image size, so this is great thing.

That I do not understand that it creates extra image size in upload folder 133×100. I have not defined this size in any where, and when I upload media form WordPress it self this is not happening, so in some point in CSV import this additional size is created.

Can I please get a step by step tutorial on how to import in-line images, I found a video but there is no explanation to anything and I do not know what to put inside the zip file.

@helpmeplease90 follow the below steps to import inline images.
1.Upload the csv file. Enable “Advance Media handling” option and upload the zip file with images.
2.Image zip file should consist of image name same as image name in post content specified in csv.
3.Then map the csv headers with wp fields and click “Next”
4.Enable inline images checkbox. It provides to option.
5.If you specify the image source as name.extension(eg: <img src=’1.jpg’ >) in your csv, it loads an image from uploaded zip file.
6.If you specify the image source as externalurl/name.extension (eg: <img src=’https://www.smackcoders.com/user/images/1.jpg&#8217; >) in your csv, it loads an image from external url.
7.Specify the image path as “https://www.smackcoders.com/user/images”. Dont specify the image name and its extension.
8.Click “Import now” button to import post/product

@niklas.sven, this is not an issue. Our importer works with WordPress core functionalities. So the images are resized while importing the image as support thumbnail or featured image etc.,
