I recently moved from Wordpress to Pages for my content and wanted to know if there is a way to enter content for an article and save it as a draft?  I don't currently see anyway to do that.

Any help is much appreciated!

Yes. You will then need to update the URL stored in conf_global.php, and run the support tool in your AdminCP afterwards to clear caches.

Hi, can you elaborate on "run the support tool in your AdminCP afterwards to clear caches."

I appreciate it.

Thanks guys.  Stuart, it was another timeout issue like you said.  I got it finished by increasing the timeout to 3000.  

Appreciate all the support.

I've converted several databases before from WordPress but once I initiated the conversion for the current one I am working on, it seemed to have finished but ended up with the following:

When I look at the converter again, there is an X underneath the "Finished" column which means it didn't work.  

Anyone ever seen this or have any ideas why it is not finishing?

The software needs to be installed in your web root.

In the AdminCP...

• Go to System > Applications and set Pages as the default application.
• Under Pages > Pages you set the page you want to show as your index page as the default page.

And that's effectively it. When you do that, the forums application will be available under /forums (like it is on this community).

Thanks!

Can I simply move the software to the root via cpanel instead of reinstalling?

I was hoping someone could assist me with this...

I successfully converted my Wordpress articles to Pages.  Now I'm trying to recreate my site so that it is solely working off of the IPS suite.

How do I set my index page that I created to be THE index page that pulls up when folks type in my web address?  I don't want everything trailing off the forum directory, if that makes sense.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

NM.  Created a copy of database and changed the db name.  Reimported and worked fine.

One more question for you guys.

I need to redo my import because I messed something up.  Deleted the database that was created as a result, but now when I try and run it again it gives me a message that the migration has already been done before. How can I get rid of this message so that it allows me to run it again?

Thanks

Sure Ryan.  Thanks

Can you submit a ticket so we can look into this please?

Got it all moved over successfully.  The issue was with my .htaccess file having superfluous settings for memory limits, etc.

Thanks to all!

Sure Ryan.  Thanks

Sure Ryan, thanks

For some reason It quit on me after around 5 minutes of running and gave me an error code that said:

The CSRF protection key did not match

Looks like it pulled in around 310 of the almost 4000 posts and pages I had in my WP file.

Anyone have any idea what caused the error or how to fix?

Much appreciated.

Yes, it should. The WordPress database doesn't change too often, so the converter is quite stable across the many WordPress versions.

Stuart, will categories in Wordpress migrate into Pages and create same categories there?  And will WP users be migrated into IPB?  I'm worried they may overwrite what's already in IPB.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks!  I’ll give it a shot!

Hi, Any luck figuring this out?

Anyone know if the current converter will accomplish this (including featured images)?

Thanks for your help.

I love the ease of the pages databases and want to purchase another license for another site but want to know if its has the capability of adding (numerically) fields from entries?

For example, if I am creating a database of football players and want a separate entry for each year of their statistics, will pages allow for a "totaling" of the statistics?  If a quarterback passes for 3000 yards in the year 1998 and 2000 yards in 1999 and 1500 yards in the year 2000, is there a way to have the total of 6500 yards appear on the records listing page via pages functionality?

I hope this makes sense.  Thank you for any assistance.

Scratch my last two posts. I figured it out, but where does it pull the image from?  Is there a way to have a static image?

I created a block from a topic feed and used the legend horizontal topic card 2 and tried to implement and it did not show anything.

Purchased this, but silly question - do I create a block from the templates?

And can this render designated topics?  I want 3 topics to be highlighted at the top of my forum.

Thank you for your assistance

Is there

Have you installed any editor skins? or any customization's to it?

if no then try to update the theme 🙂 

Is there a new update?  I'm running 4.2.6

Taman,

Any idea why the toolbar is showing like this?  Looks like there are letter "B" s covering over each icon item.  Thanks for your assistance.

Do I need to do anything to enable the plugin after installing it?  It appears everything is installed and enabled - just not seeing a difference on my board.

Thanks.
