Third-Party Plugin Compatibility
This plugin works with 15 popular third-party plugins. When you turn on compatibility, the plugin reads and writes the right custom fields for each one — automatically.
URL: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wkaie-settings → Third-Party Compatibility tab
Compatibility tab — every supported plugin with auto-detection and toggle.
How It Works
- The plugin auto-detects which of the 15 plugins are installed.
- Next to each plugin name, a badge shows:
- Detected: Active (green)
- Installed but inactive (yellow)
- Not installed (gray)
- Check the box to turn on compatibility.
- On import or export, the plugin reads or writes that plugin's custom fields.
No manual column setup needed — just turn it on.

How to Import Compat Data
Add columns with specific names in your CSV. The plugin looks for these names and writes the right custom fields.

|---|---|
_yoast_wpseo_title | SEO title |
_yoast_wpseo_metadesc | Meta description |
_yoast_wpseo_focuskw | Focus keyword |
_yoast_wpseo_canonical | Canonical URL |
_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex | 1 for noindex, 0 to unset |
_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow | 1 for nofollow, 0 to unset |
_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title | OpenGraph title |
_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description | OpenGraph description |

ACF Fields — Use acf_ Prefix
For ACF custom fields, prefix your column name with acf_.
Example: your ACF field is seo_headline. The CSV column should be acf_seo_headline.
The plugin discovers all registered ACF field groups for products and handles every type.

Same idea. Prefix with mb_.
Example: mb_warranty_info maps to the Meta Box field warranty_info.

Plugin Not in the List?
For plugins not supported here (Toolset, Pods, JetEngine, Elementor), two options:
- Use the "Any meta key" mapping — add a custom column in the mapper with the exact meta key name
- Contact us — let us know which plugin you want supported
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Plugin shows "Not installed" even though I installed it | Main plugin file path may differ. For WPML, install either sitepress-multilingual-cms OR woocommerce-multilingual |
| Compat data did not import | Make sure you checked the box AND saved settings. Also check the column name matches exactly |
| ACF fields missing after import | ACF must be active BEFORE the import. The plugin reads the ACF registry at import time |
| Meta Box fields imported as plain text | Meta Box field group must be registered via code or the Meta Box UI |
| Polylang language not set | Polylang requires at least 2 languages. Go to Polylang → Languages |
| Brands do not appear after import | The product_brand taxonomy must exist. Activate the brands plugin first |
