Import Content - Wordpress Import

Modified on Wed, 9 Apr at 8:51 PM

Description

The WordPress Import feature within Contesimal allows users to automatically import content from their WordPress websites into the Contesimal platform. This powerful tool streamlines the content research and organization process by turning your existing blog posts and articles into indexed, searchable, and taggable documents within the Contesimal ecosystem.

By enabling bulk content ingestion directly from a WordPress domain, this feature supports Contesimal’s mission to help users organize, contextualize, and monetize their content using advanced AI tools like the Chat Browser and Content Mixer. This empowers content creators, business professionals, and researchers to conduct faster thematic analysis, collaborate with teams, and build richer content experiences based on their existing materials.


Step-by-Step: 

A. Start from the Documents Page

  1. Click on the "Upload" button (Up Arrow icon) located at the top right of the Documents screen.

  2. In the Import Content screen:

    • Select “WordPress Import” under the listed import options.


B. URL Import Process

  1. Enter the full WordPress site URL

    • Example format: https://wondermentapps.com

    • This is done in the field labeled Site URL (step 1 on screen).

  2. Select the Post Types

    • Options typically include:

      • Post – Standard blog entries.

      • Page – Static pages (like About Us, Contact, etc.).

      • Project – Custom post types (if enabled on the WordPress site).

    • Choose Post for blog-style content import.

  3. Confirm Permissions

    • Check the box stating:
      “I certify that I have the explicit permission and right to use all uploaded documents…”

  4. Click “Run”

    • This begins scanning the WordPress site for available content that matches your selections.


C. Select and Import Content

  1. Once scanned, a list of articles appears for selection:

    • Each article shows:

      • Title

      • Date imported

      • Preview text

      • Visual thumbnail

    • Use checkboxes to select individual articles or choose “Select All” to batch import.

  2. Click “Import Selection”

    • Selected content will be transferred into your Contesimal Library for processing.


D. Content Processing

  1. After import, you are directed to a screen stating:
    “Contesimal is processing your files.”

    • This step:

      • Applies Theme Packs automatically.

      • Prepares content for AI research sessions.

      • May take a few minutes to several hours depending on volume.

  2. When processing is complete, articles become searchable, taggable, and available to preview, edit (Pencil icon), or delete (Trash can icon) on the Documents page.


4. Troubleshooting Guide

A. Error: Invalid URL Format

  • Issue: URL not recognized or improperly formatted.

  • Fix: Ensure it begins with https:// and includes the full domain (e.g., https://example.com).

B. No Content Found After “Run”

  • Issue: No posts detected.

  • Fix:

    • Double-check selected Post Types.

    • Confirm that the WordPress site is public and contains content.

    • Ensure posts aren’t restricted by password or plugin blocks.

C. Cannot Check Permission Box

  • Issue: Checkbox unresponsive.

  • Fix: Scroll through the full Terms and Conditions, as some UI versions require full view to activate the checkbox.

D. “Import Selection” Button is Disabled

  • Issue: You haven’t selected any articles.

  • Fix: Check at least one item before proceeding.

E. Content Processing Stalls

  • Issue: File processing stuck for long periods.

  • Fix:

    • Wait up to 24 hours.

    • Try re-uploading smaller batches.

    • Contact support if delay persists past expected timeframe.
