    I did a full csv export from my staging site and now would like to import it to the live site. The import tab lists all the csc columns but for “Import into field” there are only 4 options, none of which match the csv column. The four are Name, Slug, Description, Parent. But I would like to import First Name into First Name,Last name into Last name, Email into Email etc. Can you explain how to accomplish the import so the fields are mapped one-to-one.

    Thanks.

    @ JimtownSteve

    That is the “Import Categories” tool, notice the header and the tool description.

    Tom import the entries with a CSV site you need the CSV Import extension.

    But, that is not what you want to do if you are migrating a dev site to a live site. You want to use a plugin like BackupBuddy or Duplicator and move the whole site in one go.
