Importing Nested Parent-Child Hierarchical Taxonomies for post and custom post

Basics

The WordPress 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.


Example

To illustrate how to import multiple hierarchical taxonomies, consider the following examples:

  1. “Clothing > Men > T-Shirts”
  2. “Clothing > Men > Hoodies”

  • In the image below, you can see two hierarchical categories,


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


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