Tell us what you are trying to do? I have a custom post type called Products. I have a CSV I want to import data into the various custom fields for each entry inside of that post type. Everything imports, except for the custom taxonomy I created entitled Product Categories. The idea is to use this taxonomy to select the various categories to represent each product. So it replaces the category checkboxes on the far right of each post. You know the drill.

I can't for the life of me, figure out what the title of the column would be for this taxonomy to successfully import. Like csv_post_title would import the Product Title, for example. I've tried wpcf-product-category and just product-category and some others and nothing succeeds. How can I get my data for this column to import like everything else that succeeds?

Is there any documentation that you are following? Not really. Can't find anything.

Is there a similar example that we can see? No.

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I'm not sure what plugin you are using to import the content. However - here is the Doc that you should check:
- https://toolset.com/course-lesson/how-to-import-content-into-wordpress-using-csv/

Can you please check what plugin you want to go with and check if you able to import and map taxonomy.

I see the problem now. I've got checkboxes for the custom taxonomy (category). That seems to be something CSV Importer won't support. I'm trying Ultimate CSV Importer now.

Just to clarify here - The checkboxes support is for custom checkboxes field not the taxonomy.
