Based on idea and script from Pascal Casier (https://github.com/ePascalC)
You can export Speakers, Sessions, Sponsors, Organizers and Volunteers, from WordPress admin, Tools -> Export to obtain the WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR file) to convert to CSV.
With this CSV file, you can open it with LibreOffice Calc, Microsoft Excel (create new sheet, data, and import CSV) or Google Sheets and provide access to the team to add new ones, modify or delete data.
Thereafter, you can convert again this CSV to XML (WXR format) to import it to the WordCamp website.
Use the shortcode [camptix_xml_csv] in the page or post where you'll like to show the converter. That's all.
If you prefer to maintain it private, protect the post with a password or make it available only to admins (by example, with a page in draft mode).
NOTE:
-
Do not change the CSV exported filename because the system will detect the type of CPT (
wcb_organizer,wcb_speaker,wcb_session,wcb_volunteer,wcb_sponsor) based on the file name portion. For example: camptix-wcb_organizer-2023-11-01.csv -
If you have a sponsor CSV file like
camptix-wcb_sponsor-2023-11-01.csvand you rename it to something likecamptix-wcb_volunteer-2023-11-01.csv, converting to WXR will be erroneous because field data do not correspond with that CPT. -
Do not change CSV fields order or re-convert to XML will produce wrong data.
-
Test in a local environment before making in live site.
-
Make a backup or a full WXR export before any change.
