    I have a database (.csv) with location and city data.

    I would like to merge it with Wordpress, such that I create a new page for each field in the database.

    Can someone point me in the direction to accomplishing this?

    Thanks!

    How far into rewriting Wordpress do you want to go? You could change the page part of WP to be dynamically created from your database.

    I'm working on something just like this. My approach will be to create a new table with cities and towns. Then separately, when the pages are created, pull city/town data from that table. In my project I won't be creating all the pages at once. But, if I was I'd probably create an import script or plugin that would manage it (while still pulling the data from the separate city/town table).
