How to Import a Word Document to a WordPress Custom Post Type
WordPress flexibility comes from Custom Post Types (CPTs). Whether you're running an e-commerce store with WooCommerce, a real estate portal, or a documentation site, you likely use CPTs.
The problem? Most importers only support standard "Posts" and "Pages."
Native CPT Support in DocxToWP
We designed DocxToWP to be post-type agnostic. As long as your post type is registered correctly in WordPress, DocxToWP will find it.
How to do it:
- Select your file: Upload your doc as usual.
- Choose Post Type: On the sidebar of the preview screen, there is a dropdown labeled "Post Type."
- Map your taxonomies: If your CPT has custom categories or tags, they will appear automatically for you to select.
Use Case: WooCommerce Product Descriptions
If you have product specs in Word docs, you can import them directly as product descriptions. Our image extraction ensures your product detail images are uploaded to the media library beside the text.
Ensure your custom post type supports 'editor' in its registration, otherwise there won't be a place for the content to go!
