CSV header mapper
Rename exported WordPress + Paid Plugins + Maintenance column headers to suggested Webflow CMS column names, for reporting or manual data preparation. Not an official Webflow CMS import format. It runs in your browser. Headers are renamed and the values in kept columns stay unchanged; columns that look like passwords or other secrets are removed.
Renamed headers do not make a file import-ready. Check whether and how Webflow CMS accepts such data before importing, and create any custom fields there first.
| WordPress + Paid Plugins + Maintenance column | Webflow CMS column | Field type |
|---|---|---|
| post_title | Name | Suggested |
| post_name | Slug | Suggested |
| post_content | Post Body | Suggested |
| featured_image_url | Main Image | Suggested |
| post_date | Published On | Suggested |
