importing categories

There is no function to import only categories at this time. That being said, missing categories will automatically be created when you import links with assigned categories.

The purpose of the category export function was to allow users with lots of categories to be able to easily find their IDs to configure libraries.

Do you see a use to have a category import function separate from the links import function?

Please consider donating to support this plugin’s development.

Hi Yannick,

yes it would be very useful for us if we can import categories.

I will make a nice donation once the function is added, does that works for you?

With kind regards

Michael

Hi Michael, I have added a category import function under the Global Options > Import / Export Links tab. You will find it by updating to version 7.5.1.

A template for the CSV format is provided in the plugin’s base directory (also linked in user interface). It is called catimporttemplate.csv. You can specify for the categories to be top-level categories by leaving the parent field empty, or specify the name of a parent category.

Let me know if this works as expected or if you encounter any issues. You can find the donation link for Link Library here: https://ylefebvre.github.io/wordpress-plugins/link-library/. Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi Yannick, sorry for the late reply.

The import is working well, thank you very much for this.

I just made a donation also

with kind regards

Michael
