To be able to import locations into Map List Pro and see all the fields you need to have added at least one location already.
It’s not a built in feature, but yes you can import locations using a third party plugin. Your locations in the csv need to have lat/lng defined otherwise they will not show the correct location when viewed on the map.
- Download and install the “WP Ultimate CSV Importer Plugin” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ultimate-csv-importer/)
- Click on the WP Ultimate CSV Importer option on the menu (normally near the bottom).
- Choose Imports->Custom posts.
- Choose Browser, and select your CSV file.
- Click Next.
- Choose the following options:
- Select post type : maplist
- Import with post status : Publish (assuming you want all locations to be live immediately).
- csv_post_title : post_title
- maplist_description : post_content
- maplist_shortdescription : CF:maplist_description
- maplist_address: CF:maplist_address
- maplist_latitude: cf:maplist_latitude
- maplist_longitude: cf:maplist_longitude
- csv_ctax_map_location_categories : map_location_categories
- Click next.
- Choose Detect duplicate post content and post title options
- Set the No. of posts/rows per server request to 10.
- Click Import Now.
That’s it. The locations should all import without any issues. You can Download the example csv if you need it.
