I need to import custom hierarchical taxonomy with term descriptions + custom fields for each of term + custom posts which uses that taxonomy. Initially I used Ultimate CSV Importer, it was good for related posts, but I just realised to switch from related posts to taxonomy.

And from what I see Ultimate CSV Importer is not suits for hierarchical taxonomy with descriptions + custom field. It's allow to import hierarchical taxonomy, but in case you have only terms without any meta-info, like it said here: hidden link (look for "Nested Category" on page). Let's call it way #1

Also it allows to import flat taxonomies + descs + custom fields. Way #2.

But both (hierarchy + metainfo) isn't possible!

Do you have any idea on how to perform such import? Of hierarchical taxonomy with descs/customfields + custom posts which use taxonomy?

Hi Maxim,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

So the issue is that you want to import Taxonomies that are hierarchical that also have custom fields in them correct?

This will need to be done by a dedicated import plugin.

Thanks,
Shane
