When trying to import a csv file using the WP All Import Plugin everything is fine until I get to the final "Finish" step that does the import. At that point the import fails and gives me a generic "Import XML - Error" display Created 0/Updated 0 of 29 records.
This was working previously, now it is failing on all files, even ones that I know were working previously.
Is there some type of debug logging for this? I don't see anything on the plugin documentation that show's where I can even look to start debugging. Sorry, but I'm Wordpress noob.
I solved this by lowering the number of records processed in each iteration.
Here's a link that might be helpful: http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/step-4/import-processing/

I have a big database in Access with products I want to insert in Prestashop!
I've read about the database import in prestashop but didnt find anything about access db import. Is there a way to import this database in prestashop?
Or am I supposed to write sql queries to add these products. I have read the source code of prestashop like Products.php or ObjectModel.phplike said here:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16068141/prestashop-insert-products-script. So is the only way to write sql queries?
Thanks!
PrestaShop have tools to import products from CSV, you can check it in BO > Advanced Parameters > CSV Import. You can choose what you want to import, products, categories, attributes etc. If your file is too big you supposed to split it to few small files.
As Agnes said CSV will be the option.
Since I still don't have enough rep I can comment on his response but I'd like to add that in the CSV import page you can find templates for the CSV may be useful if you are not used to Prestashop Product Fields.
Also if you upload the images to a temporal folder and add the URLS in the product CSV the images will be imported and added to the product.
If is the first product upload I'll also recommend you to set up the IDs for the products this way if something doesn't fit or you want to change the uploaded products you can do it just by ID or simply delete all previous products and import the new ones.
Good luck.
Import is very complecated in PrestaShop, and not really fonctionnal.
I recommand to use the module Migration pro. Is a paid module, but it works really fine, i've used it a lot.
Otherwise, you can read this article (in french), you have the list of table to import. After that, you can import images and regenerate them.
Good luck ;)
Modern Prestashop can directly import xls/xlsx files
It is much better choice than CSV because you don`n have mess with field delimiters.
Export from Access to Excel should not be problem.
Native Import through web admin GIU is very good.
But you need some practice:
Make file with few products - you can delete them later if you not satisfied with results of import.
Look carefuly at field mappings. Maybe you will fail at first attempt or miss some mapping - thats why you need to import few products first.
If possible try to use the built in webservice api or you can make your own custom import module
I have created my website in demo folder using wordpress. I have used "Layers WordPress site builder". The problem is when I transfer all data and database to new server, pages show no data.
This is quite a big problem with LayersWP it seems. I don't know for sure what the cause is but I've noticed that the database after the import is a different size to the database exported
Not the perfect solution to the problem... but this was a good work around for me:

Let's you import and export widgets. I'd advise leaving the working site in tact and only importing into a new database.
I have been trying to import or migrate the Codeigniter database into wordpress. Is that possible to do by any means? I have searched for the solution for it at many places but was unable to find a relevant solution to it.
The real problem is that I have already got a website created in CodeIgniter but now I am making a new site for the same using Wordpress. I need to import all the data and posts contained in the older site into the new one. Maybe database migration can be a easier idea. How will be doing so??
Codeigniter is a development framework for building applications. WordPress is a system that's already built. I think you could build a large application like WordPress with Codeigniter. But it would then rely on Codeigniter's libraries and framework, so to make that happen I think you would have to rebuild WordPress from scratch. Unless Codeigniter can be used as more of a PHP editing framework as well?
Maybe a Codeigniter guru will weigh in.

The main issue with this is that your CI database is not structured the same as wordpress database.
There are some tools that help you import databases in wordpress like this plugins:
WP Ultimate CSV Importer Plugin
Really Simple CSV Importer
CSV Importer
but you will have to provide them the CSV file, that you'll have to export from your CI website. I don't think the import process is very complicated but it's sure easier if you spend some time understanding wordpress databse structure, for that a great resource is the wordpress code and the Database Description page.
The complexity of the CSV file is determined by the objects that you have to import in WordPress here is a check list that its good to have when you start building a CSV file:
1) Are you importing custom post types or just blog entires?
2) Do you have extra info on your import objects that have to be imported as custom fields?
3) Do you have users that you need to import? if you do, what roles do you need to have? do you require custom roles (this makes things very complicated)
4) Do you objects have images attached to them? if they do you'll have to make sure that the import plugin is able to import images!
5) Do you have categories and tags? do they have extra info besides wordpress default info?
When I have to import data to WordPress I try to keep it as simple as possible, I'm trying to import only blog posts and their images if possible depending on the complexity of the initial website I might import categories and tags too but I might split the process before adding this and process them after I have the posts in my wordpress site (this is because I'm more comfortable working with wordpress database and functions then with 3rd party CSV generated files - it might not be your case since you have full access to the initial CI website)
In the end have a look at the plugins I've linked or search yourself some import plugins and check the CSV files they need and try to make the CI website generate a CSV file that is similar with the ones in the examples.
If you have experience with the WordPress databse structure then you can also create a script that loads your data from one database to the other one (I recommend this approach for developers that have experience with both the old websites and WordPress at code/database structure level.
if you can share your databse scheme some extra info might be given.
Export posts from CI database in CSV/XML format or SQL and then change it to CSV accordingly. after that, use WP all import plugin and select the columns correctly. Easy as that..
I want to import some contents into vBulletin Forums System. I am using vBulletin 5. I don't have experience working with vBulettin, I want to export posts and contents to something like csv and import them to VB Forum someway.
Any help or suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
The exact process depends on what type of forum you are importing from. Importing to vBulletin from phpBB might differ from IPB or Xenforo.
I would start by looking at vBulletin's import documentation using ImpEx.
My client is using WordPress as CMS but want's to deliver their posts (in their case property's) trough a XML feed.
Is it possible to get the info from that XML feed and import it to WordPress as posts?
This is what my feed looks like: http://vrds.nl/test.xml
Hoping for help!
There are quite a few plugins that do this. Perhaps one of them fits what you want to do.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content
My company made a plugin that can do exactly this.
It is called WP All Import - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-all-import/ - it can import XML in any format, download images (something you'll probably need if you are importing properties), and works with any theme.
