Hi,
I am trying to import a large database into post types, and I am using WP All Import and Toolset add-on.

When I try to import data into an Address field, it tells me that is not jet supported. — Do you guys could imagine an alternative to import that info into that post type? (maybe importing as text field and change type later... no idea and I need that field filled...

Thanks a lot

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I just tested where I've created the text (single line) custom field and upload the file having address stored as text and I'm able to successfully import the content and once data is imported I've changed the single line field to Adress field and I see its working just file.

So, basically you need to import content to text field and once data is imported convert that text field to the address field. Looks like this workaround will help you to resolve your issue.

The address field stores the value as a text address.

As I confirm that you should have text single line field while you import the address value and then convert the single line field to the Adress field and you can play with different values and check what best works for you.

WP ALL IMPORT support give a solution to import into Latitude/Longitude, in case anyone read this post:

"
You can do that by importing directly into the custom field using these directions: hidden link . It looks like they wrap the lat/long with curly brackets, so make sure to escape those brackets with backslashes, e.g.:

\{{node[1]/lat[1]},{node[1]/lng[1]}\}
