Importing Nested Parent-Child Hierarchical Taxonomies for Post and Custom Post

Basics

The WP Import Export Plugin provides a powerful facility for importing hierarchical or nested taxonomies, often referred to as “parent” and “child” taxonomies. This feature allows for a more organized and structured way to manage categories and subcategories within your WordPress site.

  1. “Clothing > Men > T-Shirts”

  • Each parent-child relationship is represented by the “>” symbol,


  • while multiple categories are separated by the “,” symbol.
