Wp import (WP-CLI)

$ wp help import

NAME

  wp import

DESCRIPTION

  Imports content from a given WXR file.

SYNOPSIS

  wp import <file>... --authors=<authors> [--skip=<data-type>]

  Provides a command line interface to the WordPress Importer plugin, for
  performing data migrations.

OPTIONS

  <file>...
    Path to one or more valid WXR files for importing. Directories are also accepted.

  --authors=<authors>
    How the author mapping should be handled. Options are 'create', 'mapping.csv', or 'skip'. The first will create
    any non-existent users from the WXR file. The second will read author mapping associations from a CSV, or create a
    CSV for editing if the file path doesn't exist. The CSV requires two columns, and a header row like
    "old_user_login,new_user_login". The last option will skip any author mapping.

  [--skip=<data-type>]
    Skip importing specific data. Supported options are: 'attachment' and 'image_resize' (skip time-consuming
    thumbnail generation).

EXAMPLES

    # Import content from a WXR file
    $ wp import example.wordpress.2016-06-21.xml --authors=create
