How to Import Feature Images

CSV Importer Plus Pro imports feature images into posts, pages, and custom post types. This feature is available in both free & pro versions. To import images using the CSV Importer Plus for ACF plugin, you must either:

  1. Upload the images to the WordPress media library beforehand, e.g.,
    http://beni.test:8080/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image1.jpg
  2. Ensure the images are hosted somewhere. The plugin will then automatically upload or register the images in the WordPress media library.
    Examples:
    • http://beni.test:8080/photo/image300.jpg
    • https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2025/01/26/20/33/robin-9361610_1280.jpg
    • http://beni.test:8080/photo/pexels-pixabay-247759.jpg

Note: Uploading images/files from external URLs is a Pro feature. The free version can only use files that are already in your Media Library or elsewhere on your current WordPress site.

Key Mapping Format

For a importing feature image, use post_featured_image.

After providing the correct column names in the CSV using the specified format, the plugin will automatically map them.
