    Hi there,

    My client has a current site with ~200 artists represented. Each artist is a post in the current site.

    Is it possible to export the posts from the current site and import these artists as Portfolio Items in the Enfold theme?

    Links are provided privately below.

    Thank you

    Hi!

    It is possible, basically you’d need to import the Posts as Portfolio items (custom post types). You will have to use a plugin for that, check this ones:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ultimate-csv-importer/

    Thank you for this reply.

    My assumption is that the plugin imports content but not images – correct?

    So even if I configured the post and followed the instructions on the first plugin you provide, the client would still have to load images for each of the posts. Is that right?

    Thank you again and all the best!

    The plugin description says it can import thumbnails so i guess if the source posts have thumbnails they will get included. Anyhow i think it would be better to ask these questions to the plugin author.

    Thank you Josue!

    I’d be importing 3-4 images each artist (not a thumbnail) and using them in the galleries (portfolio grid) that are so fabulous in the Enfold theme.

    So – while I guess contacting the plugin author might work, my sense is that he might refer me back to the Enfold crew because of Enfold’s fabulous but rather complicated option for creating a post with a beautiful, portfolio grid-style gallery.

    Yes, basically you won’t have problems passing the post title, content, thumbnails. But converting those 3-4 images in the content to Gallery elements automatically isn’t an easy task, i suggest contacting a developer to help you with that as this is already out of the support scope we can offer.

    Best regards,
    Josue
