## Using

~~~
wp import ... --authors= [--skip=]
~~~

Provides a command line interface to the WordPress Importer plugin, for
performing data migrations.

Use `define( 'IMPORT_DEBUG', true );` for more verbosity during importing.

**OPTIONS**

...
Path to one or more valid WXR files for importing. Directories are also accepted.

--authors=
How the author mapping should be handled. Options are 'create', 'mapping.csv', or 'skip'. The first will create any non-existent users from the WXR file. The second will read author mapping associations from a CSV, or create a CSV for editing if the file path doesn't exist. The CSV requires two columns, and a header row like "old_user_login,new_user_login". The last option will skip any author mapping.

[--skip=]
Skip importing specific data. Supported options are: 'attachment' and 'image_resize' (skip time-consuming thumbnail generation).

**EXAMPLES**

# Import content from a WXR file
$ wp import example.wordpress.2016-06-21.xml --authors=create
Starting the import process...
Processing post #1 ("Hello world!") (post_type: post)

-- Imported post as post_id #1
Success: Finished importing from 'example.wordpress.2016-06-21.xml' file.
