Hello,

I need to import data with wp all import into toolset checkboxes.

For that I must unserialize.
Wp All import replied:

I have had a look at your checkbox field and unfortunately, it has a number of serialized array, which will use different names based on your configuration. Here is an example of the data for the post you manually created:

a: 2: {s: 64: "WPCF-fields, checkboxes, option-a2c5b3b46377028223a6793641a2c84d-1"; a: 1: {i: 0; s: 1: "5";} s: 64: "WPCF-fields- checkboxes-option-45f0fd4516f8cd1efe44a5b733670de9-1 "; a: 1: {i: 0; s: 1:" 6 ";}}

This is how it looks when it has been unserialized: hidden link.

To get to this field, you will need to write a number of numbers that you can use for your data.

Do you have a function to unserialize this ??

Thanks

It is not possible to CSV or else imports Checkboxes unless you heavily custom code.

In WP All Import, however, it seems possible by simply adding the name of the option(s):

There is no serializing required.
