    Hi, I’m importing some pages content from a legacy CMS which had descriptions for each of the pages, I’d like to make sure this gets transferred over as the excerpt of a Page, but it’s not showing during the Import wizard (I notice it shows when it’s Posts not Pages)

    Is there a way I can import the old description as the new excerpt even though these are coming in as new Pages?

    Hi @nwplanet

    WordPress doesn’t support excerpts for Pages by default (you’ll notice that it’s missing from Screen Options even when manually creating a page). You can add support for it by adding this code to your child themes functions.php file:

    add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' );

    Once that’s done, you’ll see the excerpt field in WP All Import for pages as well.
