$smwgImportFileDir is a configuration parameter that was used to set the directory from which Semantic MediaWiki reads import-content definitions during setup.

No longer functional as of Semantic MediaWiki 7.0.0Released on 4 June 2026 and compatible with MW 1.43.x - 1.46.x.. The runtime shim that automatically translated $smwgImportFileDir to its replacement has been removed, so this setting is now silently ignored. Migrate to configuration parameter $smwgImportFileDirsSets the contents import directory for legitimate files to be imported upon installation of Semantic MediaWiki in "LocalSettings.php".1
