Hi,

I want to migrate a website from wordpress to silverstripe.
I have the xml export from wordpress and I have SS up and running.
I've installed the addon thiagovandieten / export-wordpresstosilverstripe
But now what do I do? I couldn't find any instructions on how to use this add-on to import the xml data.

BTW, the installation instructions on http://addons.silverstripe.org/add-ons/thiagovandieten/export-wordpresstosilverstripe seem to be outdated...
It says:
Installation Instructions
composer require silverstripe/wordpressimport 0.3.*

But silverstripe/wordpressimport doesn't seem to exist...

Any tips on how to use this module would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks,
Bruno

Hi bgravato,

Alternatively you could download the zip from github and unzip it into the root of your silverstripe directory.
Rename the folder to "wordpressimport", then run /dev/build?flush=1.

Thank you for your reply Helen.

I was able to install the addon with composer, I just don't understand how to use it...
Where shall I put the xml export from wordpress?

If that matters, wordpress is not installed on the same server, but I exported all the content to an .xml file.
But now I don't know how to import it to silverstripe...

Thank you,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

I dont use this module, but it looks like it extends the blog module.
If you have the blog module installed (which should have been installed by composser when you installed wordpressimport), then you may find a new tab called import on your blogholder page.
You should then be able to upload your xml file from there.
