RELATED TO: RealHomes Theme

The WP All Import plugin is a powerful tool that allows you to import WordPress posts and custom post types including Properties used by the RealHomes theme—using CSV, XML, or XLS files.

To make WP All Import compatible with the RealHomes theme, you also need to install the RealHomes XML/CSV Property Listings Import Add-On. This add-on provides integration between your property data and the custom fields used by RealHomes, making the import process seamless.

Plugin Installation

Install and activate the following plugins:

Preparing Your Import File

Your CSV or XML file should include properly structured property data. You can download a sample CSV file here for reference.

Recommended fields:

  • Property Title
  • Description
  • Price
  • Area
  • Bedrooms / Bathrooms / Garages
  • Location: Address, City, State, Country
  • Property Type, Status
  • Features (comma-separated)
  • Gallery Image URLs (comma-separated)

Note: Ensure image URLs are publicly accessible.

Step 1: Starting the Import

  2. Click the “Upload a file” button and upload your CSV or XML file.
  3. Select Properties from the post type dropdown.

Step 2: Review File Contents

WP All Import will display a preview of your uploaded file. Verify that it has detected your columns correctly. If everything looks good, click Continue to Step 3.

Tip: If your data contains non-English characters, ensure your CSV is saved in UTF-8 encoding.

Step 3: Mapping Fields (Drag & Drop Interface)

In this step, you’ll configure how your data will be imported into WordPress. WP All Import provides a powerful drag-and-drop interface that lets you visually map fields from your CSV/XML file to the RealHomes theme.
