WPML Export and Import

Changelog

New Features

• WPML automatically creates translation jobs for imported posts set to use automatic translation.
• You can now set import batch sizes using the wpml_import_command_items_per_batch filter.
• WPML automatically updates thumbnail and gallery image IDs on translated posts, products, and CPTs during import, so they point to the correct translated images.
• WooCommerce Multicurrency prices are now automatically included in WP All Export exports.

Developers

• Added the wpml_import_get_trid_from_imported_translations filter to allow custom translation group resolution.

Performance

• Improved performance when fetching pending posts and taxonomy terms during import.
• Reduced the size of the import app by optimizing frontend dependencies.
