Importing Pages - Navigating the Downloadable Template

Page Template Site View

Note: The first row is reserved for the field titles and optional taxonomy vocabulary fields. Do not remove or alter text in the first row from the template.



COLUMN A: Page title

COLUMN B: Page Body (Text Content)
Note: It is recommended to add the HTML version of your text in this field.
Please be aware if you are inserting a large amount of text here, the import might result in missing content because it will not be able to handle large amounts of text. Please avoid using ASCII characters in your text as this will result in import errors.

COLUMN C: Page Files (Images or documents)
Note: This field is optional. Files added here will import over as attached downloadable files.

COLUMN D: Page Created Date
Note: This field is optional.
Leaving this field blank will result in all imported pages having the same date (date of import).

COLUMN E: Page Path (URL Path)
Add the URL path ending here. For example, instead of adding help.theopenscholar.com/example-page, you'll just need to add example-page.

COLUMN F: Page Parent Path
Note: This field is optional.

Fill out this field for subpages only. For example, if the below page was a subpage of another called Contact Us (https://docs.theopenscholar.com/contact-us), then the URL path contact-us would go here.

Importing more than 100 pages at one time is not permitted. If your CSV file is over 100 rows, you will receive an error.
