Deserialize Metadata

Screenshots

When migrating from another system (i.e. Drupal), WordPress can require data that is currently serialized to be unserialized and stored in its own WordPress-specific tables/columns. This plugin can look for such data, and deserialize and store it, based on the plugin settings. This plugin handles one (configurable) imported field at a time, so all imported, serialized data needs to be stored in that single field. Each key in that field can be mapped to any column, and stored in either wp_postmeta or wp_posts, as shown below: ` if ( $maps[$key][‘wp_table’] === ‘wp_postmeta’ && $value != ” && $value != NULL ) { add_post_meta( $post_id, $maps[$key][‘wp_column’], $value, $maps[$key][‘unique’] ); } else if ( $maps[$key][‘wp_table’] === ‘wp_posts’ && $value != ” && $value != NULL ) { $post = array( ‘ID’ => $post_id, $maps[$key][‘wp_column’] => $value ); wp_update_post( $post ); } ` The wp_schedule_event method is used to deserialize the data and place it into its appropriate fields, and it can run at any configurable interval (you pick a number, and then a unit of time).
