Description
WP Meta Importer & Updater allows administrators to efficiently manage and update SEO-related metadata using a CSV-based workflow.
Instead of manually editing meta titles and descriptions one by one, you can upload a CSV file containing URLs and metadata values, select the fields to update, and apply changes in a single operation.
This plugin is designed to be a «universal» updater, automatically detecting and working with the most popular SEO plugins on the market. It is ideal for large websites where manual metadata updates would otherwise take significant time.
The plugin works alongside supported SEO plugins and does not replace or modify their core functionality.
Features
- Multi-Plugin Support: Native compatibility with Yoast SEO, All in One SEO (AIOSEO), and Rank Math.
- AJAX Powered: Bulk update metadata without page reloads.
- Smart Detection: Automatically identifies the active SEO plugin and maps metadata fields accordingly.
- Drag-and-Drop: Intuitive CSV upload area with real-time file validation.
- URL-based matching: Updates Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types based on their permalink.
