Questions the author answers
Should I fill all columns of post data?
No. Only columns which you want to update.
Can I update existing post data?
Yes. Please use ID field to specify the existing post.
Can I insert post with specific post id?
Yes. Please use ID field to specify the new post ID.
Can I import custom field/custom taxonomy of the post?
Yes. You can use column names same as wp_post table, but if the column name does not match, it creates a custom field (post meta) data. Importing custom taxonomy is a bit more complicated, “tax_{taxonomy}” means, “tax_” is prefix, and {taxonomy} is name of custom taxonomy (not labels).
Here is an example.
csv file
“post_title”,”released”,”tax_actors”
Why should I quote text cells when I save csv file?
Because PHP cannot read multibyte text cells in some cases.
Locale setting is taken into account by this function. If LANG is e.g. en_US.UTF-8, files in one-byte encoding are read wrong by this function.
Can I insert multiple values to CFS or ACF fields like Select or Checkbox?
Yes. Please create additional plugin and use really_simple_csv_importer_save_meta filter to make array data.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
