I've created multiple custom post types (ie. dramas, movies, people) with custom fields and I would like to bulk import the content using a .csv file. Is this possible?

Hello,

I mean you will need to have the image already uploaded so you can know that the url of the images will be so that you can pre-add the url so when the post is uploaded the images are linked automatically.

Thanks,
Shane
