Discover, trust, install: FAIR 1.0 is here

SmartDoc to Post Importer is a WordPress plugin designed to make importing Microsoft Word documents (.docx and .doc) into your website seamless and reliable. Whether you’re migrating blog content, uploading documentation, or transferring educational resources, this plugin ensures that the structure and style of your documents remain intact.

The plugin uses advanced XML parsing to interpret the document’s internal structure and convert it into native WordPress content. All formatting—headings, lists, tables, images, and even internal links—is preserved during the import process. Uploaded documents are processed locally on your server, ensuring privacy and compliance with data protection policies.

Users can upload Word files via a drag-and-drop interface in the admin dashboard. The plugin then walks them through an import wizard, allowing them to assign post types, categories, and review a preview of the imported content before publishing.

SmartDoc to Post Importer is ideal for content creators, technical writers, educational institutions, and businesses who want to manage Word-based content directly within WordPress without losing document fidelity.

Usage

1. Go to ‘SmartDoc to Post Importer’ in the WordPress admin menu.
2. Click “Upload Document” and select your .docx or .doc file.
3. Choose import options such as post type (Post, Page), category, and whether to extract SEO metadata.
4. Preview the imported content and make any necessary edits.
5. Click “Import” to add it to your site as a draft.
6. Review the post in the editor and publish when ready.
