# WordPress Importer Redux
This repository contains the new version of the [WordPress Importer][] currently in development. [Learn more about the rewrite](https://make.wordpress.org/core/?p=15550).
Fast, lightweight, consistent. Pick three. :palm_tree: :sunglasses:
[WordPress Importer]: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/
## How do I use it?
### Via the Dashboard
1. Install the plugin directly from GitHub. ([Download as a ZIP.](https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/archive/master.zip))
2. Activate the plugin (make sure you also deactivate the original Wordpress Importer if you have it installed).
3. Head to Tools → Import
4. Select "WordPress (v2)"
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
### Via the CLI
The plugin also includes CLI commands out of the box.
Simply activate the plugin, then run:
```sh
wp wxr-importer import import-file.xml
```
Run `wp help wxr-importer import` to discover what you can do via the CLI.
## Current Status
The current major items are currently missing or suboptimal in the Importer:
* [x] **Web UI** ([#1](https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/issues/1)): ~~Right now, there's essentially *no* web interface for the importer. This sucks.~~ Done!
* **Automatic Testing**: There's no unit tests. Boooooo.
## How can I help?
The best way to help with the importer right now is to **try importing and see what breaks**. Compare the old importer to the new one, and find any inconsistent behaviour.
We have a [general feedback thread](https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer/issues/7) so you can let us know how it goes. If the importer works perfectly, let us know. If something doesn't import the way you think it should, you can file a new issue, or leave a comment to check whether it's intentional first. :)

The WordPress Importer is licensed under the GPLv2 or later.
