WP Smart Import is a free XML file-importing tool from Xylus that’s in the same vein as All-in-One WP Migration and UpdraftPlus. While it’s pretty simple by design, it’s one of the most efficient, easy-to-use XML importer plugins available for WordPress.

To use WP Smart Import, select a file and then pick what you want to do with it. It’s a deceptively heavy-duty plugin, able to import large files with ease. Its built-in versatile support also lets you import the data into any post type you wish on your WordPress site and works with any theme.

How to use

Simply start by selecting the XML file you wish to import, either via direct upload, URL, or from a saved file that you’ve previously uploaded (which you can save to use whenever you want). From there, you can customize the form that the file will take and the element that you’re importing it to. You can decide where it goes and how it’s displayed.

Field Mapping

The interface is easy to use, all with an easy-to-use drag and drop UI. It has advanced field mapping to make this process easier so you don’t have to work on any codes. It also provides different insights in your transfers.

Completely free

WP Smart Import has no features locked behind a pro version. It’s completely free to download and to use as you wish. It’s also actively supported by its developers, and most users are able to get any questions or issues they have addressed and resolved within a week.

Import your file easily

WP Smart Import is a simple, handy tool for importing a commonly-used file type into your site. Many WordPress users will find this plugin helpful, especially considering how much easier it is to use than many alternatives. Due to its very specific function, it won’t be for everyone. But if you have a need for a plugin like this, grab it. It’s free, simple, and quick.

WP Smart Import is regularly updated and patched. While no major features are being added due to the simple nature of the plugin, any bugs that are reported are swiftly dealt with, such as a recent jQuery error that some users were experiencing.
