I used to build custom wp themes about 10 years ago, so while my wp knowledge is outdated, I’m still very familiar and capable of figuring things out, just need a push in the right direction.
What I need is a plugin, a built in feature, or at least to know I will have to build something from scratch (to avoid researching too much). My needs are to generate bulk posst from a list of variables. I saw that I can upload csv files and have it generate posts but the options I have seen seem to take each column given and convert it to a specific block on the page (content, image, title, etc)
what I need instead is to have a template for example:
(title)
(person) lives in (locations) and likes (meals).
and have that be the entire post generated by a csv with columns for title, animal, locations, meals. The tricky part I suppose is that I also need it to create a post for every possible combination so if I have people set to (sam, eric), location set to (Paris, Rome) and meals set to (pasta, bagels). Then it should produce the following posts:
* Sam lives in Paris and likes Pasta
*
* Sam lives in Paris and likes Bagels
*
* Sam lives in Rome and likes Pasta
*
* Sam lives in Rome and likes Bagels
*
* Eric lives in Paris and likes Pasta
*
* Eric lives in Paris and likes Bagels
*
* Eric lives in Rome and likes Pasta
*
* Eric lives in Rome and likes Bagels
Is there a prebuilt solution? Im wondering if I can do it via uploading a csv file through a plugin, or if there are some sort of lists I can build within word press of categories and create posts that cross reference the different lists using the data as variables inserted into content. Thanks
