How to Import Meta Box Basic Fields
To import Meta Box basic fields, go to All Import › New Import and begin a new import for the post type that contains your Meta Box fields. Use the Meta Box Add-On section to map the incoming data elements to their corresponding Meta Box basic fields.
The following Meta Box basic fields can be imported: Text, Textarea, Checkbox, Checkbox List, Radio, and Select. Here's more on each:
- Text: Simple, plain-text field.
- Textarea: Same as the text field, except that it provides a more extensive writing area.
- Checkbox: This lets you import a single checkbox field.
- Checkbox List: This lets you import multiple choices. When using Set with XPath, you have to separate multiple choices with commas. If you have both values and labels in your field definition, use the values.
- Radio: A list of radio inputs where you can select a single choice from a predefined list.
- Select: A simple select dropdown for one or multiple values. When using Set with XPath, you have to separate multiple values with commas. If you have both values and labels in your field definition, use the values.
Field Labels and Values
Meta Box lets you define both a value and a label for the choices of the field definitions.
You can define those choices in a format such as value : Label
. Here's how that looks in the Meta Box field setup:
In these cases, you can match by using the values. Otherwise, if you only have labels, then use those.
