How to Use the CSV Blog Importer #

Access Blogs & Choose a Target Blog #

Log in to your account and navigate to Sites > Blogs from the left menu. Create a new blog site by selecting Create Blog or open an existing one by clicking its name.

Start a CSV Import #

Next, click the New Post dropdown and select Import Blog Post from CSV.

Prepare & Upload the File #

Doing so will display options for you to download the sample CSV or XLSX template, or click Upload (or drag and drop) your prepared file.

Once you have uploaded your file, review the summary and formatting tips, then open any blog card to preview and edit your post as needed.

Set the publish date. Past dates publish immediately, future dates schedule automatically, and blank or invalid dates are saved as drafts.

Import & Confirm #

Finally, click Import.

In the confirmation modal, review the summary (number of posts published or saved as drafts) and click Import to add the posts to your blog site.

The CSV Blog Importer streamlines the blog migration process, empowering you to import, preview, and publish content with confidence and efficiency. Whether you’re managing one site or hundreds, this tool ensures a fast, accurate, and hassle-free transition so you can focus on creating, not copying.

Important Notes #

• Automatic Validation: The platform scans your CSV headers upon upload and flags any missing or misspelled fields.
• Required Fields: All required headers must be present, though cell values may remain blank.
• Error Detection: Inline error chips highlight issues such as missing images, invalid dates, or long meta descriptions.
• File Size: Keep your CSV under 25MB to avoid timeouts; split larger files into smaller batches.
• Time Zone Handling: The importer respects each account’s time zone to ensure accurate publishing times.
