Import WP – CSV & XML Import Export for WordPress

77 Quality Score

Active Installs

16/30

A modest 4,000 active installs gives it a niche footprint, far behind category leaders like WP All Import at 100,000 installs.

Update Freshness

25/25

A July 2026 update timestamp and compatibility with WordPress 7.0 show the developer is actively keeping the plugin current, earning a perfect maintenance score.

User Rating

13/15

With 25 ratings averaging 88 out of 100, user sentiment is clearly positive, though the small sample size limits how much weight that signal carries.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved is a red flag, as it suggests either near-perfect stability or, more likely, a quiet community with no public help history to lean on.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility with WordPress 7.0 and PHP 5.6 across the board, plus the recent update, makes this one of the strongest compatibility profiles in the category.

What It Does

Import WP lets you bring content from CSV or XML files directly into WordPress, covering posts, pages, categories, tags, users, and attachments. It is positioned as a simple and fast alternative for one-off migrations or recurring datafeed imports without needing a developer.

Who It's For

This plugin fits small to mid-sized sites that need to migrate content from a CSV or XML export, such as moving from another CMS or regularly importing product feeds. It is best suited for administrators comfortable mapping fields manually and handling smaller datasets where the 4,000-install community is enough reference material.

Who Should Skip It

If you are running enterprise-scale imports, need premium add-ons or guaranteed developer support, or run a WooCommerce store needing product variations and images mapped at scale, you should look elsewhere. Casual bloggers importing a single file will also likely find the interface heavier than needed.

The Bottom Line

Import WP earns a solid 76.83 quality score driven by excellent maintenance and forward-looking WordPress 7.0 compatibility, but the absence of any public support history and a small user base make it harder to recommend for mission-critical migrations. It is a reasonable pick for straightforward CSV or XML imports on smaller sites, while larger or more complex projects are better served by WP All Import.

Pick WP All Import when you need a drag-and-drop interface, large-file handling, or premium WooCommerce and ACF add-ons for complex imports.

TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy 95/100

Pick TablePress if your real goal is displaying tabular data on the front end rather than importing it into WordPress content tables.

Import and export users and customers 83/100

Pick this user-focused importer when your imports are limited to user accounts, customer records, and WooCommerce membership data.

XML Sitemap & Google News 83/100

Pick this when your XML handling needs are about search engine sitemaps rather than importing XML content into WordPress.

wpDataTables – WordPress Data Table, Dynamic Tables & Table Charts Plugin 83/100

Pick wpDataTables when you need to render imported CSV or XML as interactive, filterable tables and charts on your pages.
