Wordpress migration/import

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

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.

What is "pages records"?

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.

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?

Pages. But confusingly using a custom layout that looks like the new Blog app homepage. ?

Aha, thanks for clearing that out

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.
