Open the product

WP Connect can copy the properties you already have on your WordPress website into your Housing Market CRM. This tutorial opens the import wizard from the Connection screen, lets it find your property setup, reads the side-by-side sample and the preview that checks everything without saving, chooses where the properties go and what happens to your original posts, starts the import and reads the report. Your original posts are never deleted. The WordPress screens in this video are illustrations drawn from the plugin, with invented data.

In this tutorial you will learn

  • Where the import wizard is
