## Description

This plugin helps you **migrate legacy SQL database tables** to WordPress’ **Custom
Post Types (CPT)**. It provides a **user-friendly UI interface** that enables users
upload an SQL file which is then parsed and converted to a CPT with meta data that
is recognisable within WordPress.

If you ever need to migrate a non-WordPress database table into WP, look no further.
This is exactly what you need!

#### ✔️ Features

Our plugin comes with everything you need to easily migrate SQL tables to CPTs.

✔️ **Import & Convert to CPT** feature.
 ✔️ **Quick & Lightening Fast uploads**.
✔️ **Friendly, User Interface (UI)**. ✔️ **Custom Post Type Capabilities**. ✔️ **
Error Loggging Capabilities**. ✔️ **Custom Hooks** to help you customize plugin 
behaviour. ✔️ Available in **mutiple langauges** such as Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew,
Hindi, Russian, German, Italian, Croatian, Spanish & French languages. ✔️ **Backward
compatible**, works with most WP versions.

#### ✨ Getting Started

Head over to the **SQL to CPT** options page. Upload an SQL file of your choice 
by clicking on the **Import SQL File**. This would analyse your SQL table and show
you the **table name** and **table columns** you are about to import. Once ready,
click on the **Convert to CPT** button to complete the process.

On import completion, you should now be re-directed to the Custom Post Type page
of your newly imported data!

You can get a taste of how this works, by using the [demo](https://tastewp.com/create/NMS/8.0/6.7.0/sql-to-cpt/twentytwentythree?ni=true&origin=wp)
link.

#### ⚡ Why SQL to CPT ?

 1. Because you need something that works great and fast!
 2. Because you want to port your data across platforms easily.
 3. Because you don’t want to spend hours building custom software for this.
 4. Because you think **SQL to CPT** is cool.

NB: At the moment, the **SQL to CPT** plugin currently does not provide a way for
users to import more than one SQL table at a time, this feature should be available
in future releases as well as the option to remove unused CPTs.

#### 🔌🎨 Plug and Play or Customize

The SQL to CPT plugin is built to work right out of the box. Simply install, activate
and start using.
