About WP All Import
“WP All Import is a toolbox. It’s a tool for doing something that nobody really enjoys doing. Nobody wakes up in the morning really passionate about importing and exporting data. They have a problem, and they need to solve it so they can get back to work. Our ideal user is somebody who has data outside of WordPress and needs to get it in, or has data in WordPress and needs to get it out.” – Joe Guilmette
WP All Import, developed by Soflyy, has been a cornerstone in the WordPress ecosystem since its inception in 2011. Designed as a robust toolbox, WP All Import empowers users to efficiently manage their data within the WordPress environment.
Just as StellarWP aims to enable success for WordPress creators, WP All Import is committed to providing scalable and reliable support for users of all levels. Whether users need to import data from external sources or export WordPress data to various formats, WP All Import offers a versatile solution to streamline these processes.
The Problem They Faced
Similar to many organizations within the WordPress ecosystem, WP All Import serves a diverse customer base ranging from individual site owners to agencies managing multiple client projects. Their support and customer success teams often encounter various challenges, from assisting users in building their first site to helping developers deploy hundreds of sites for clients.
Customer Support Efficiency: The users heavily rely on WP All Import for their tasks. However, due to the complexity or specific functionalities of the platform, users often want to try it first before committing. This likely leads to a higher volume of inquiries or support tickets.
Difficulty in Issue Recreation: When customers encounter problems or bugs, it can be challenging for them to articulate the issue effectively, especially if it’s a technical matter. This can result in longer resolution times and frustration for both users and support staff.
Efficiency in Debugging: When issues arise, the support team needs to debug them efficiently. However, this process can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, especially if they have to log into each user’s site individually to replicate the problem.
The main problems were streamlining customer support, improving issue reproduction, and enhancing the efficiency of debugging processes without requiring extensive developer involvement or direct access to user sites.
How WP All Import found InstaWP?
WP All Import found InstaWP through a direct referral from LiquidWeb when LiquidWeb shut down WP Sandbox. LiquidWeb recommended InstaWP as an alternative solution for WP All Import’s needs, which likely led to WP All Import exploring and eventually adopting InstaWP.
WP All Import uses InstaWP for Product Demo
Because of the way WP All Import works, people really want to try it first, so the team lets them do that with InstaWP. The plugin company leverages InstaWP significantly to create compelling and interactive product demonstrations. These demonstrations serve as pivotal tools for showcasing the robust capabilities of WP All Import to potential customers.
We‘re very heavy users of the platform.
It really helps when customers can recreate their issue and send it to us for debugging, and we don’t have to log in to their site. Then we can have developers log in and see the problem firsthand.
We also rely on it for customer support.
It’s incredibly useful.”

WP All Import also relies on InstaWP for essential functions like instant site creation, templates, sandbox environments, database and code editing, and logs viewing, enhancing user experience and platform efficiency.
