Note: Empty cells in the csv file means „keep it“, not „delete it“.
 Note: To set
the page template of a page, use custom field key of `_wp_page_template`. Note: 
If providing a post_status of ‚future‘ you must specify the post_date in order for
WordPress to know when to publish your post. Note: If the post_type value is `attachment`,
you can use `post_thumbnail` field to define media URL or path.

#### Advanced Custom Fields plugin integrate

If advanced custom field key is exists, importer will trying to use [update_field](http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/update_field/)
function instead of built-in add_post_meta function.
 How to find advanced custom
field key: [Finding the field key](http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/update_field/#finding-the%20field%20key)

## Instalacija

 1. Upload All files to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to the Import page under Tools menu.
 4. Click CSV link, read the notification, then just upload and import.

## HSP

### Should I fill all columns of post data?

No. Only columns which you want to update.

### Can I update existing post data?

Yes. Please use ID field to specify the existing post.

### Can I insert post with specific post id?

Yes. Please use ID field to specify the new post ID.

### Can I import custom field/custom taxonomy of the post?

Yes. You can use column names same as wp_post table, but if the column name does
not match, it creates a custom field (post meta) data. Importing custom taxonomy
is a bit more complicated, „tax_{taxonomy}“ means, „tax_“ is prefix, and {taxonomy}
is name of custom taxonomy (not labels).

Here is an example.

**csv file**
 „post_title“,“singer“,“genre“,“released_date“ „Shape of You“,“Ed Sheeran“,“
Pop“, „06-01-2017“

**imported post data**
 Post Title: Shape of You Custom field „singer“: Ed Sheeran
Custom field „genre“: Pop Custom taxonomy „released_date“: 06-01-2017

### Why should I quote text cells when I save csv file?

Because PHP cannot read multibyte text cells in some cases.

> Locale setting is taken into account by this function. If LANG is e.g. en_US.UTF-
> 8, files in one-byte encoding are read wrong by this function.

### Can I insert multiple values to CFS or ACF fields like Select or Checkbox?

Yes. Please create additional plugin and use `simple_csv_importer_save_meta` filter
to make array data.
