Export / Import Tables

    Hi, I’m using WP All Import to migrate ACF content (it appears to be the only plugin that can migrate ACF values).
    When Exporting the table field, the results is just “Array,Array,Array,Array,Array” and migration fails (no table is created).
    Do you have a solution to get something that can then get reimported with WP all Import?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    I unfortunately cant test a commercial plugin. I know for example, that plugins like “All-in-One WP Migration” and others works.

    The table field stores the table data array as an serialized array in the database as usual in WordPress. If there is something like “Array,Array…” in the export file, the export process converted the table data string from the database into an array for some reason. You may check this in the export setup.

    Did this hint help?
    Cheers,
    Johann

    Thank you for the answer, I know when other plugins are involed it’s always complex to pinpoint where the problem is.
    Wp all export does have a free version here that handles the exporting part and another that handles the imports. (Only the ACF specific part is a premium feature, but to export serialized data I didn’t use that)
    This plugin, differently from “All-in-One WP Migration” and similar, exports just specific data through csv from wordpress and not the whole DB.

    So, unlckily I’m not a programmer, however, I managed to get the data exported as serialized data. The main problem I have now is that I can’t import the serialized data, since it is apparently required to give key/value pairs or a custom PHP function (?) as mentioned here: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/custom-fields/serialized-fields/.

    I hope this isn’t too confused.
