    How to keep existing entries in the database while doing a new import? Is it possible to assign certain IDs or something like that? As we have a very big adress database (about 2,000 entries) it would be very helpful to keep or update existing ones and only add new adresses via CSV Import.

    Currently there is not a way because the import is one way, it can not determine if there is an entry to update. I am planning a revamp. I could add an id column so you could add the entry id to the CSV and instead of adding it’ll update, but it’ll be brute force updating. For example, let’s say you have two addresses in an entry but the CSV only has one … both addresses would be removed and the new one inserted. Would that work?

    Yes!

    What about uploaded pictures?

    Maybe after the image/logo support is migrated to use the WP Media Manager. But only then. Why, cause then all that would be required is the attachment ID of the image in the Media Library so it would just work, at least for images already in the library. Adding new ones would still be problematic.
