It's also much more obvious where things are - options you might want to use are easy to find, not hidden in an endless sea of other options, and it's harder to overlook important settings. Preview buttons in strategic places help you ensure your import is going to work the way you expect before you actually run it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vc_box_shadow_border vc_box_border_grey attachment-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/user-interface.png\" alt=\"user-interface\" width=\"956\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[vcex_spacing size=\"30px\"]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Documentation &amp;\u00a0video tutorials.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WP All Import 4.0 comes with all-new <a href=\"\/documentation\">documentation and video tutorials<\/a>.

If you got the generic \"Import XML \u2013 Error\" message with 3.x, try 4.0. WP All Import v4 tries to automatically\u00a0recover when web hosting providers stop it from running imports to completion. WP All Import has an iterative import process that processes your file piece by piece. When a host terminates an import process, WP All Import v4 will detect this and try again, but with a smaller piece of your file.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous optimization\u00a0have also been made to the code to make it run faster, especially when performing complex\u00a0imports.<\/p>\n<p>[vcex_spacing size=\"30px\"]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Existing customers upgrade for free.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can download 4.0 and install it on a new site from the <a href=\"\/portal\">customer portal<\/a>.
