vanderbroms Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Can someone help me with understanding the Wordpress migration tool. Does it only take pages and not posts? Is it possible to import a Wordpress xml-export via the xml-import in pages? Wordpress (4.x) to Pages Pages Databases Database Categories Database Records Database Comments Media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Posts will be turned into “Pages Records”. The converter will directly read your database and your filesystem (for images). So an XML export is not needed or useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderbroms Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 What is "pages records"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 It’s just how it’s called in the Pages app. It’s like a post in WordPress. It has a title and a body, it belongs to a category and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderbroms Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Aha, that is what happens if I would go for the wordpress-migration tool then? Is the blog on this page set up in pages or the blog tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Pages. But confusingly using a custom layout that looks like the new Blog app homepage. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I except serious problems with my site doing a migration of a Wordpress blog into it. It's really not a community but a blog I'd like to import in all its glory.
