1/ I recently built WP DataFlow, a custom WordPress JSON importer to solve a real project requirement — importing profile data into a CPT with taxonomies, ACF fields, content, and images.

2/ The plugin takes JSON data, maps the fields to WordPress, automatically handles existing/new taxonomy terms, and imports profile images from a ZIP directly into the Media Library as Featured Images.

3/ I also added preview/validation, duplicate detection, re-import/update support, batch processing, progress tracking, error handling, and import history — while keeping the process non-destructive.

4/ The first test successfully processed 37 profiles, matched all 37 images, and had 0 failures. 🚀

5/ Built with WordPress standards in mind, and I’m keeping the architecture documented with AGENTS.md so the project can continue evolving cleanly.

Building tools to solve real problems > building features just for the sake of it.
