The GeoDirectory WP All Import extension is a specialized bridge that allows you to use the powerful “drag-and-drop” import engine of WP All Import to populate your GeoDirectory listings.
Instead of using the basic CSV importer built into GeoDirectory, this combination allows for complex data mapping from almost any file format.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
To use this setup, you need three specific components active on your site:
| Component | Requirement |
| WordPress | Version 4.7 or higher (Recommended: 6.x+) |
| GeoDirectory | Version 2.3.0 or higher |
| WP All Import | Version 3.7.0 or higher (Free or Pro) |
| PHP Version | PHP 7.4 or higher (Recommended: 8.1+) |
| Server Modules | cURL, libxml, SimpleXML, and ZipArchive |
File Format Support: Import from CSV, XML, Excel (.xls, .xlsx), and Google Sheets.
Listing Data Mapping: Map your data directly to GeoDirectory-specific fields, including:
Business Name and Description.
Physical Address (Street, City, Region, Country, Zip).
Geocoding: Automatically converts addresses into Latitude/Longitude coordinates.
Business Hours and Custom Fields.
Category & Taxonomy Handling: Automatically create or link listings to nested categories and tags.
Media Handling: Import image galleries and featured images from external URLs or local storage (Note: Advanced image handling often requires WP All Import Pro).
Update & Sync: You can re-run imports to update existing listings without creating duplicates, which is ideal for “live” data feeds.
While GeoDirectory has its own CSV importer, the WP All Import extension is better if:
Your file structure is “messy”: If your CSV doesn’t perfectly match GeoDirectory’s headers, you can drag-and-drop to map them.
You have XML files: The native importer only handles CSV; this extension handles XML/Excel.
Cron Jobs: You need to automatically pull a file from a URL every 24 hours to keep your directory updated.
