Description
The PointFinder Add-On for WP All Import makes it easy to bulk import your business directory to the PointFinder theme in less than 10 minutes.
The left side shows all of the fields that you can import to and the right side displays a listing from your XML/CSV file. Then you can simply drag & drop the data from your XML or CSV into the PointFinder fields to import it.
The importer is so intuitive it is almost like manually adding a listing in PointFinder.
We have several other add-ons available, each specific to a different theme. This is a walkthrough of the Realia Add-On, which is very similar to the PointFinder Add-On.
