Then CSV 2 POST is the plugin you need. The interface has a sandbox approach\nallowing users to submit any form at anytime. That means when you suddenly realize your posts need\nto change or your original source of data has changed. You can simply use any of the tools available\nto get the job done with minimum fuss. CSV 2 POST is intended to be permanently installed however\nyou can use it for quick projects and remove the plugin also. Please see the plugins portal and follow\nthe tutorials provided to get started.<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>New Premium Level Schedule Tools added in 2016<\/li>\n<li>Create posts, pages and custom post types with no limits.<\/li>\n<li>On demand (systematic) post updating.<\/li>\n<li>Create hierarchical categories.<\/li>\n<li>Put posts in existing categories.<\/li>\n<li>Unique key custom fields (post meta) supported.<\/li>\n<li>Design templates using WYSIWYG editor.<\/li>\n<li>Import pre-made tags or generate them.<\/li>\n<li>Import images to WordPress media gallery.<\/li>\n<li>Perfect post titles and get high SEO scores.<\/li>\n<li>Manage .csv files as data sources.<\/li>\n<li>Upgrading to premium is simple.<\/li>\n<li>Works with all .csv files.<\/li>\n<li>Featured image support.<\/li>\n<li>WordPress styled interface to match the rest of your admin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h3>Languages<\/h3>\n\n<p>Seeking translators. Your name, site link, Twitter and YouTube videos will be added to the plugins pages in return for your contribution.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Plugin Author<\/h3>\n\n<p>Thank you for considering CSV 2 POST. I import data to WordPress for a living. If your stuck, if you need another solution\nor help with any existing data importer.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Contributors<\/h3>\n\n<p>These contributors helped to localize WTG Tasks Manager by translating my endless dialog text.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>None Yet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Version Numbers and Updating<\/h3>\n\n<p>Explanation of versioning used by myself Ryan Bayne. The versioning scheme I use is called \"Semantic Versioning 2.0.0\" and more\ninformation about it can be found at http:\/\/semver.org\/<\/p>\n\n<p>These are the rules followed to increase the CSV 2 POST plugin version number. Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:<\/p>\n\n<p>MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,\nMINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and\nPATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.\nAdditional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.<\/p>\n\n<h4>When To Update<\/h4>\n\n<p>Browse the changes log and decide if you need any recent changes. There is nothing wrong with skipping versions if changes do not\nhelp you - look for security related changes or new features that could really benefit you. If you do not see any you may want\nto avoid updating. If you decide to apply the new version - do so after you have backedup your entire WordPress installation \n(files and data). Files only or data only is not a suitable backup. Every WordPress installation is different and creates a different\nenvironment for WTG Task Manager - possibly an environment that triggers faults with the new version of this software. This is common\nin software development and it is why we need to make preparations that allow reversal of major changes to our website.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<p>Please install CSV 2 POST from the official WordPress.org repository by searching for the plugin in your\nblogs administration area.
