Access from ‘My Account’

Step 1: Download the Plugins

After purchasing the WordPress Import Export Plugin, the wrapper and the add-on plugins, will be available in a zip format in the Downloads section of your My Account page.

First of all, log into WebToffee with your credentials.

Navigate to the My Account section and click on Downloads.

You can find your zip files in the My Downloads section as shown below:

  1. Wrapper Plugin: wt-import-export-for-woo.zip
  2. Add-on Plugin (user/order/product): In case of WordPress Product Import Export, the add-ons are: wt-import-export-for-woo-product.zip and wt-import-export-for-woo-product_review.zip
Note: The wrapper and the add-on zip files must be downloaded, installed, and activated for hassle free import export experience.

On successfully downloading the zip files of both the wrapper plugin and the add-on, login to your store as a WordPress Admin.

Navigate to Plugins > Add New to upload the plugins.

Click on the Upload Plugin button as shown below.

Select the zip file from your system and click open. Then, proceed with the install by clicking on Install Now.

Checklist:

  • Installed and activated Wrapper and add on zip files.
  • WebToffee Import Export menu available on the WordPress dashboard.
  • Post types available for selection on the plugin landing page.

Then, you are good to go. Start your import and export process without any hassles.

Step 4: Licence Activation

In order to obtain auto-update of our plugin until your licence expires, we would advise you to specify the licence key within the general settings of the plugin. Go to General Settings>Licence Key tab from the WordPress dashboard.

Into the Licence Key field, enter the key. You will get your licence key from the My Account>Licence Keys section.

Then, specify the Email ID used for purchasing the plugin. Next, click on the Activate button.

For a one-time process, you can buy a single site licence for both the export and import purposes. When using a single site licence:
  • Activate the plugin and its licence on the site from where you need to export the data.
  • Deactivate the licence once the export is done successfully.
  • Now, install and activate the plugin and its licence on the site where you have to import the data.
The single site licence can be activated only on one site at a time. Thus, If you have to use the plugin simultaneously on both sites, then please purchase a multisite licence variant.

Now you are all set! You can start importing or exporting from your site.

    Hi, the single licence is not activating on the (dev) site I need to import the data to. No activation left. I’m sure like a lot of your users need to export data from a live site and import to a dev site how does this work with single licence? Surely you don’t have to buy a seperate licence for export and import?

      Hi,
      You can use a single site license for both export and import purposes if it’s a one-time process. You may please activate the plugin on the first site and export and then deactivate the license before installing it on the new site. The plugin license can be activated only on a single site at a time. If you are required to use the plugin simultaneously on both sites then please purchase a multisite license variant.

    Hi,
    How can I export the 20 most recent products from ‘All Products’ list in the dashboard?
    Being able to simply ‘checkbox’ select them and then export ‘selected’ would be very useful.
    I don’t want to have to export everything!
    Thanks

      Hi,
      By default, there is no option to export only the latest 20 products using the plugin. We can suggest a workaround by using the
      Skip first n products option. In the Skip first n products field you may please specify the total number of products on your site except the 20. Eg: If you have a total of 100 products and if you are required to export only the latest 20 then you may please specify “80” in the Skip first n products field.

    I just bought a license for one site and then started wondering if one-site license means that it can be used in one site at the time or only on one site ever?

    I mean I need to first import products to staging environment and then to production. So is that considered one or two sites?

      Hi,

      You can use a single site license for both export and import. At a time the plugin license can be activated only on a single site. If you are required to run the plugin simultaneously on both sites then please purchase a multisite license variant.

    I have installed and activated the plugin and want to have the Import/Export Users functions. The banner that comes up when I select the general settings confuses me so I am not sure what to do.

      Hi,

      To install and start using the Import export users function please make sure that you have installed both the zip files wt-import-export-for-woo.zip and wt-import-export-for-woo-user.zip. You can download both the zip files from the API downloads section of your WebToffee account.
