Yes, you can still go ahead. During the import process, you’ll be able to map or add any missing authors, categories, or tags.

The URL importer migrates your post content along with available SEO metadata, such as titles and descriptions. However, SEO authority does not automatically transfer simply by importing content. To preserve rankings and link equity, configure proper 301 redirects and keep the same domain and URL structure whenever possible.

You can import up to 60 posts per CSV/XLSX file.

We recommend keeping the file under 25 MB to avoid browser time-outs.
