Hi Toolset folks,

So we're using WP All Import Pro to bring our data from our old site into the new one, and we'd like to be able to import an image per post from the old url.

In WP All Import Pro it says I can set it as the featured image, but I actually want to map it to a Toolset custom field called "Box Art", which I've set up to usually work as an uploaded image field. Is there a way to facilitate this? I'm somewhat familiar with PHP and such, so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The image you should try to import using the WP ALL import should be a having valid image path.

WP ALL Import offers the free plugin "toolset-types-add-on" which you can use to map the Toolet custom fields.

When you try to import data, it will show you the section "Toolset Types Addon" section where you can map your custom fields. Please check the following screenshot:
