» Conditional import value from xml to match my custom JetEngine Custom Post

Hello! Is there a way to make some custom snippet script to use some kind of conditionals to import data from XML that has different data values than my custom post in database. Is it possible to make something so it would match my values?

I tried to use https://www.importwp.com/docs/change-imported-field-values-programmatically, but couldnt make it to work. Still Im not sure if it is a snippet im looking for.

Im trying to import xml with data like: Type: Apartment —–> to match my taxonomy: Apartament(polish word) or Type:Features that has array values like: Pool, Air Conditioner:Outside to match for example —–> Swimming Pool, Air Condtioner – In my custom post values database..

Best regards!

EDIT: https://www.importwp.com/docs/change-imported-field-values-programmatically, Hmm I think I made it work with custom fields, but still cant make it to work with Taxonomies.

Hi Bartosz,

Based on what you have said, when importing taxonomy terms: https://www.importwp.com/docs/how-to-import-wordpress-taxonomies-onto-a-post-type/ , next to the taxonomy terms field there is a grey button that allows you to map data https://www.importwp.com/docs/template-fields/#mapping-fields does this sounds like it will solve your issue?

For example setting the term value to your csv/xml selector, then opening up the field map and setting it to

If Value: Equals
This: Apartment
Then return: Apartament(polish word)

allowing you to add as many as required.

If you need more help configuring the field map, can you please export and attach your importer settings to this ticket by going to Tools > Import WP > Settings / Tools > Import / Export and select and export your importer as a JSON file, and also attach a copy of the csv / xml file.
