    Hi,

    I need to compare 2 fields before letting the upload to be done. Need to check whether one field values are agreeing before accepting into the database.

    I found this but don’t know how to do this check within this action:

    <?php
add_action('pmxi_before_xml_import', 'before_xml_import', 10, 1);

function before_xml_import($import_id) {
    echo 'pmxi_before_xml_import';
}

?>

    How can I do that please?

    Hi @aidadev

    Here’s an example snippet showing how to access the XML file before the import: https://paste.ee/p/rL9oa.

    Alternatively, if you need to do this on a post-by-post basis, you could use the ‘wp_all_import_is_post_to_create’ hook:

    /**
 * ========================================
 * Filter: wp_all_import_is_post_to_create
 * ========================================
 *
 * Return a boolean indicating if the record should be imported. Note that
 * this is only for new posts. The "wp_all_import_is_post_to_update"
 * filter is for updating existing posts
 *
 * @param $data     array        - An array holding values for the current record. If importing from
 *                                 XML, attributes can be accessed as SimpleXMLElement objects.
 *
 * @return bool (true = create, false = skip)
 */
function my_is_post_to_create($data)
{
    // your code here
    return true;
}
add_filter('wp_all_import_is_post_to_create', 'my_is_post_to_create', 10, 2);

    We have more info on our hooks (including a link to a github repo with all hooks and more examples) here: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/action-reference/.

    Ok. Thanks for the info. But I forgot about “Filtering options” and now using this for comparing one of the column value.
