import 500 reviews issues

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to import 500+ posts and reviews, the reviews will be imported into wp customer reviews (using WP All Import). However this review system require me to select which post to display on for each review created via a drop down list which is not possible with 500+ reviews.

    When I’m importing I have identified this review post index “wpcr3_review_post” which I believe the value is a postID, the problem is postIDs are generated by WordPress randomly and I can’t determine this before hand.

    Is there a way to just use post slug to identify which post to show the reviews on?

    Has anyone not stumble across this?

    I stumbled across this problem today. It’s a limitation of the plugin (wheres the PRO version, guys?!)

    I got it to work for my 200 reviews. My reviews are on one page only, so reviews across multiple pages will require extra work, but can be done.

    Step 1: Export “WP Customer Reviews” from Tools > Export in WP-ADMIN
    Step 2: Determine POST ID of old review page (in my case: 290)
    Step 3: Determine POST ID of where you want the reviews to show up (in my case: 128)
    Step 4: Open XML file in Sublime or favorite txt editor, Find All

    <wp:postmeta>
<wp:meta_key><![CDATA[wpcr3_review_post]]></wp:meta_key>
<wp:meta_value><![CDATA[<290]]></wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>

    & Replace:

    <wp:postmeta>
<wp:meta_key><![CDATA[wpcr3_review_post]]></wp:meta_key>
<wp:meta_value><![CDATA[128]]></wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>

    Step 5: Save and Import to WordPress. Your reviews should show up in the right place.

    If your reviews are across multiple pages, you’ll have to change the Post ID’s accordingly.

    TL;DR: Change old Post ID desired Post ID to under <wp:postmeta> in the exported XML file from WordPress.

    Pain, but it works. Hope this helps.

    And I hope the developers released the PRO version of this plugin, it’s sorely needed. ??
