wp import only accepted local file paths and directories. This adds support for remote URLs and piped STDIN input.

Changes

  • STDIN (-): Reads from php://stdin, buffers to a temp file, imports, then cleans up
  • Remote URLs (http://, https://, ftp://, ftps://): Downloads via WordPress's download_url() to a temp file, imports, then cleans up
  • Display names: import_wxr() accepts an optional $display_name so log output shows the original URL or STDIN rather than the temp file path
  • Temp file cleanup: cleanup_temp_files() helper ensures temp files are removed after import or on error
  • Tests: New Behat scenarios covering STDIN and HTTP URL import

Usage

# Import from a remote URL
wp import https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WPTRT/theme-unit-test/master/themeunittestdata.wordpress.xml --authors=skip

# Import from STDIN
wp export --stdout | wp import - --authors=skip
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Allow to import WXR file through HTTP and STDIN</issue_title>
<issue_description>It will be useful if we can import WXR file through HTTP.
Following is an example to import theme unit test data of the theme review team.

$ wp import https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WPTRT/theme-unit-test/master/themeunittestdata.wordpress.xml --authors=import

Also, I think it should to be able to import from STDIN like following and it looks useful.

$ wp export --stdout | wp @staging import - --authors=import
```</issue_description>
