#Wordpress Import Module Build Status

##Maintainer Contacts

  • Cam Findlay (Nickname: camfindlay) <cam (at) silverstripe.com>
  • Damian Mooyman (Nickname: tractorcow) <damian (dot) mooyman (at) gmail (dot) com>

##Requirements

  • mod_rewrite (optional, if you need to cater for old incoming links and are using Apache)
  • SilverStripe Framework & CMS 3.1.x
  • silverstripe/blog 1.*
  • silverstripe/comments

##Installation Instructions

composer require camfindlay/silverstripe-wordpressimport

This module currently it only works with silverstripe/blog 1.x.

WORKAROUND: If you have installed silverstripe 2.x, downgrade to 1.x:

composer require silverstripe/blog 1.x

After importing the wordpress .xml file you can safely upgrade to silverstripe/blog 2.x again:

composer require silverstripe/blog 2.x

NOTE: After upgrading from blog 1.x to 2.x don't forget to run dev/tasks/BlogMigrationTask as indicated in the silverstripe/blog documentation.

WARNING: downgrade was only tested on an empty blog, if you have already entered any content on your blog, this may have some unexpected results!

###Usage Overview It will change any links to uploaded images and files in your posts that follow the convention "http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/yyyy/mm/filesname.jpg" to "http://yourdomain.com/assets/Uploads/yyyy/mm/filesname.jpg" which allows you to migrate you uploaded images and files over to SilverStripe assets folder while maintaining images in your posts.

###Optional Rewriting Add this in your .htaccess file to port old wordpress posts in the form /yyyy/mm/name-of-post/ to new SilverStripe /blog/name-of-post convention.

RewriteRule ^[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/(.*)$ /blog/$1 [R,L]

##Known issues:

  1. Content can lose a lot of the formatting coming from Wordpress.
  2. Perhaps parsing the content through a nl2br might help?
  3. Image captions need to be catered for and styled otherwise they end up looking like un-parse shortcodes.
  4. Currently only works with silverstripe/blog 1.x.
