With WP Ultimate CSV Importer, you can easily import and export Listings and Owners in WP Rentals plugin. This guide walks you through importing and exporting each post type step by step.
Tip: If you’re unsure about the format of your import file, create a sample record in the WP Rentals Listings or Owners section, then export it using our plugin. This gives you a clear example of the correct format. You can also refer to our sample CSV and XML files guide for ready-made templates.
If you’re migrating real estate listings and owner or agent data, this process makes it significantly easier.
How to Import Listings to WP Rentals #
Prepare a CSV, XML, Excel, or any other file type supported for import with relevant property listing columns. To know how to provide values for the columns, try exporting the existing listings data with Ultimate CSV Importer. You’ll get a file with the proper value format. We’ll explain how to export WP Rentals listings later in this guide.
Step 1: Upload your listing file #
In your WordPress dashboard, go to Ultimate CSV Importer Pro → Import/Update. Use any file upload option to upload your prepared listing file.
Step 2: Choose Post Type & Import Type #
After uploading, you’ll be taken to the next page to configure the post type and the import type. From the dropdown, choose estate_property as your post type. Above that, you’ll see the options “Fresh Import” and “Update Content.” “Fresh Import” is selected by default—it indicates the import of new records. If you’re updating existing records, switch to “Update Content.”
Click Continue to Step 3.
Step 3: Map Listing Property Fields #
The plugin will display your file headers and ask you to map them. Fields will be automatically mapped if your file headers and WordPress field headers match.
Use the drag-and-drop mode to easily map your file fields. Make sure to map all the fields in the Property Listing Fields and Terms and Taxonomies sections.
Match each column (e.g., property_price, property_location) to its corresponding field in WordPress or the custom fields created by WP Rentals.
Save the fields mapping with a name at the end and click Continue.
Step 4: Begin the Listing Import #
Configure media handling and advanced import options like rollback, iteration, or other available settings if needed.
Click Import to begin. The plugin will import all your listing data into WP Rentals Listings.
Once the import is complete, a pop-up will display a completion message along with buttons like Summary Logs and Failed Media for download and verification.
You can verify the result by visiting the Listings CPT directly or by using the log section (as shown in the screenshot below) to verify each record in the admin and frontend views.
