Polylang Translation Mapper

Description

This is a tool that helps you connect all imported posts as translations for the multilingual WordPress plugin Polylang.

Requirements for the plugin:

• Posts should have a language (you can set them when importing for example with WP All Import)
• Translations have a unique identifier key in post_meta

Take backup of your database before doing this! Use at your own risk.

Installation

How-to use:

• Import your content with WP All Import Pro (or something else) and check that requirements above are met
• Take a backup of your database
• Download plugin and activate (you will need Polylang active)
• You will see UI in admin notice that shows you the post type and meta_id
• If post type or master id are incorrect, change them in the code (lines 36 and 37)
• Click the button "Start connecting translations"
• Click through steps (50 posts at a time). Each step will take some time.
• Deactivate and delete plugin when you have gone through all the steps
