[Plugin: WordPress Importer] How to import multiline post metadata?

  • WordPress Importer failed to import post meta containig array of strings with line breaks.

    For example, after adding meta:

    $data = array(
  '1' => true,
  '2' => '1'."\n".'2'
);
add_post_meta($post_id, 'my_meta', $data);

    in the exported XML file i see:

    <wp:postmeta>
  <wp:meta_key>my_meta</wp:meta_key>
  <wp:meta_value><![CDATA[a:2:{s:1:"1";s:1:"1";s:1:"2";s:4:"1
2";}]]></wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>

    But after importing, get_post_meta(‘my_meta’,) returns null… After rmoving the line break all works as expected. Any ideas how to fix? Sorry for my english.

    Sorry for incorrect sample code… This issue presents only if metadata contains “Windows style” linebreaks (\r\n). After converting \r\n to \n, import works as expected.
