Hi,

I follow the steps from https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/importing-content-from-csv-with-post-relationships/, but instead of uploading a csv using Toolset, I use WP All Import to import the child posts. See screenshot. This works great, because associations are loaded perfectly. See screenshot....

I will automate the import with WP All Import... but then I still must manually press the "Start Import" button to create the associations.

Is there a way to automate this with a cronjob or something else?

Thanks for your great support!

Hi, we recently added an API method that you can call to import association information from the postmeta of a child post:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/importing-content-from-csv-with-post-relationships/#toolset_import_associations_of_child-child_id

Will this work for your site?
