Importer plugins help WordPress site owners bring content into their site from external sources — including other WordPress installations, platforms like Blogger, Squarespace, Wix, and Medium, or structured data formats like CSV, XML, and JSON. They handle posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, users, media attachments, and metadata, mapping source fields to WordPress database fields during the import process. These plugins are essential during site migrations, content consolidations, and bulk data entry workflows where manually recreating hundreds or thousands of posts is impractical. More advanced importers support scheduled recurring imports from remote URLs, making them useful for data aggregation sites, comparison platforms, and editorial teams managing large content pipelines.
