Installation

This page explains how to install CMSImport, add extra data sources and activate your PRO license.

Install the package

Install CMSImport from NuGet in your Umbraco project:

dotnet add package CMSImport

Run the site and log in to the backoffice. You now have an Import section.

Tip

Don't see the Import section? Refresh the page, or log out and back in. Also check that your user group has access to the section.

Add extra data sources

BlogML, JSON, RSS and WordPress data sources ship as separate packages. Install only the ones you need:

dotnet add package CMSImport.DataProviders.BlogML
dotnet add package CMSImport.DataProviders.JSON
dotnet add package CMSImport.DataProviders.RSS
dotnet add package CMSImport.DataProviders.Wordpress

Activate your PRO license

You can add your cmsimport.lic license file in either of these ways:

• Upload it in the backoffice. Go to the Import section and upload the file on the dashboard. CMSImport stores it as umbraco/Licenses/cmsimport.lic.
• Copy it to disk. Place cmsimport.lic in the umbraco/Licenses folder or the bin folder of your site.

Manual database installation

CMSImport creates its database tables when the site starts. If the site's database user can't create tables, install them by hand:

1. Download the SQL script.
2. Rename the file to cmsimport.sql.
3. Run the script against the Umbraco database, for example from SQL Server Management Studio.
