Import and Export Advanced Custom Fields from CSV in WordPress
Importing your ACF fields data into WordPress is simple and the same as you import posts usually using CSV Importer. The first thing you need to do is to install and activate the WP Ultimate CSV Importer plugin. Let’s take a look at the import and export of CSV files in WordPress using WP Ultimate CSV Importer.
CSV Preparation
Upon activation, you can simply go to ‘WP Ultimate CSV Importer → Import/Update’. Now you will prompt to upload your CSV file containing ACF field info in UTF-8 file format.
The WP Ultimate CSV Importer fetches ACF field info based on the columns in your spreadsheet. The first row must have the column names, and you can have the name of your choice and there is no restriction in naming the ACF fields.
You can download the sample ACF CSV file for your reference. And you can open it in Microsoft Office, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Docs. While downloading the CSV file, make sure you use the comma(,) to separate columns and the text delimiter is set to double quotes(“).
Import ACF Fields in WordPress from CSV
Before importing your CSV file you have to create a custom post type in the ACF plugin. In the ACF dashboard, click on create new where you have to create a custom template based on your needs in ACF. You have to assign the template for the post, page, or any other field. This allows ACF to get mapped with WP header fields.
Now you can import the CSV file by following 4 simple steps, import or update the existing content on your WordPress website.
Step 1: Uploading the CSV file
Upload your CSV in any of these 4 methods:
- A Upload from Desktop
- Upload from FTP / SFTP
- Upload from URL
- Choose File in the Server.
Then choose ‘New Items’ whether the CSV file contains new items to import or ‘Existing Items’ to update the website content.
Step 2: Mapping the Header fields
Relate the CSV headers with WordPress fields. You can use the ‘Advanced Mode’ with dropdown or simply use the ‘Drag & Drop’ mode to match the CSV headers with WordPress fields.
Once you map the fields, give a name in the ‘Save this mapping as’ field to use this mapping as a template later. Then proceed to next with Continue. Skip the Featured media handling section if you don’t upload any images.

Enable ‘Do you want to SWITCH ON Maintenance mode while import?’ to notify your website visitors that the website is under maintenance. You also check for duplicates while you import using the option ‘Do you want to handle the duplicate on existing records?’ and choose the WordPress fields to check duplicates for those fields.
Now choose the ‘Import’ button to instant import the content on your WordPress website or schedule the post to get an update in the future, that is, to update content on the website at the specified date and time. The custom field ACF info will update successfully in WordPress from CSV.
