설명

Marbak Taxonomy & Posts Transfer is a focused tool for moving structured content between WordPress sites. It lets you export selected taxonomy terms together with their related posts and import them into another site while preserving relationships and metadata.

This tool is ideal for structured editorial systems where content is organized using ACF-powered taxonomies and custom fields.

What this plugin does

Export selected taxonomy terms
Export posts assigned to those terms
Export term meta (including ACF fields)
Export post meta (including ACF fields)
Export featured image URLs
Import terms by slug
Import posts as Draft
Assign taxonomies to imported posts
Import featured images from URLs
Handle large imports in batches (20 posts per run)

Important notes

This plugin is designed for ACF-based setups.
The destination site must have the same taxonomy registered before import.
If ACF fields (e.g. term images or custom fields) are included in the export, the same field groups should exist on the target site.
Imported posts are always created as Draft.
Existing posts with the same slug are skipped.
Re-import the same file to continue large imports in batches.

Use Cases

Move a specific content segment between sites

Export a taxonomy (e.g. Authors, Projects, Case Studies) together with all related posts and import it into another WordPress site without migrating the entire database.

Reuse structured content across projects

Quickly transfer predefined content structures and their data between client projects built with ACF.

Split a large site into smaller ones

Extract a specific taxonomy and its content when restructuring or separating a website into multiple installations.

Staging to production (partial content)

Move only selected content from a staging environment to a live site without affecting the rest of the database.

Agency and developer workflows

Ideal for developers and agencies working with ACF-based content systems who need a reliable way to move structured content.

What this plugin is not

Not a full site migration tool
Not a database replacement tool
Does not automatically create taxonomies or ACF structures

This plugin focuses on transferring selected structured content between sites.

FAQ

Do I need Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)?

The plugin works without ACF for basic data, but it is primarily intended for ACF-based setups.
If your export includes ACF fields (e.g. term images or custom metadata), the same field groups should exist on the destination site for proper usage.

Why are my taxonomies not importing?

The taxonomy must already exist on the destination site.

If you see an error like “Invalid or missing taxonomy in import file”, it usually means the taxonomy is not registered on the target site.

If the taxonomy was created using ACF, make sure the same ACF configuration is present before importing.

Why are some posts not imported?

The plugin skips posts that already exist on the destination site (matched by slug).
This prevents duplicates when running multiple import batches.

Why are posts imported as Draft?

Posts are always imported as Draft to allow review before publishing.
You can bulk publish them after verifying the import.

Why didn’t all posts import at once?

The plugin imports a maximum of 20 new posts per run to avoid server timeouts.

Re-import the same JSON file to continue importing the next batch.
Already imported posts will be skipped automatically.

Can this plugin create taxonomies or ACF fields automatically?

No. The plugin transfers content, not structure.

Taxonomies, post types, and ACF field groups must already exist on the destination site.
