Two questions: 1) how did you import the static pages, and 2) why are you wanting to use a CSV file for import? Related: how are you importing? Are you using the WordPress importer via Dashboard -> Tools -> Import, or some other method?

| Feb 24, 2012 at 15:57 | comment | added | Rob | @ChipBennett I'm trying to import 300 new pages via a csv file, which just worked ok (the page title is the company name). The next part is filling in the custom fields with the data but I have no idea what to put in each field in the csv file in order to get the correct data to show on the correct member. | |

What do you mean by "readable by the CMS"? Are you saying that you're trying to do a raw SQL import to update the wp_post_meta DB table entries for 300 existing posts?

| Feb 24, 2012 at 15:46 | comment | added | Rob | @ChipBennett It has EVERYTHING to do with Wordpress since I need it all in a format that's readable by the cms. So your saying the hundreds of questions on here to do with plugins are too localized and database questions aren't related. My related questions sidebar is filled with similar questions yet according to your "rules" I can't post it here! Exactly where do I post this then? | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 15:32 | comment | added | Chip Bennett | Fair enough. So: what is the WordPress specific part of this question? You're asking about importing an arbitrary data set into an arbitrary database, and doing so via a CSV file. None of that has anything to do with WordPress. (p.s. I'm not a mod.) | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 15:27 | comment | added | Rob | @ChipBennett ??? That's ridiculous! Exactly what forum am I supposed to ask this on then? If asked on the normal SO forum they would just send me here! There's plenty of plugin specific questions on here. Your far too agressive with modding this forum as this isn't the first time! | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 15:12 | comment | added | Chip Bennett | Close-voted as off-topic. This is either a PHP/SQL question rather than a WordPress question, or else it is a Plugin-specific question, and thus too localized. | |
