    Hello everybody,

    I’m planning to move an html website to wordpress, but is there a script I could use to automatically create a copy of the html page like let’s say:

    page1.html would become page1 in the same directory.

    This should become a page, not a post and should reflect the style of the html site. I’m not ready to do it manually because it contains almost 100 pages. So, if someone could come with an automated solution, it would be great.

    Website is : http://www.wladvisor.co.uk

    Thank you.

    You could try using a plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/import-html-pages/ which claims to be able to do such imports, but I haven’t any experience with it.

    The plugin Dave has referenced will do the job but you will need to specify upload everything between the <body> tags.
    And add the head stuff css etc to the theme.

    Their is no system to convert the site however, you’ll need to build a theme! Then do the import, and you will loose out with most of the benfits of using wordpress this way.

    Ok, looks like there is no real or at least sure automatic way to do the job. I mean, no “one click” method.

    Thanks for your help, I’ll see what I can do with the plugin Dave Clements suggested.

    I’m sure if you google around some one will have something step by step for you to follow. The tricky bit will be building your theme so your new WordPress site matches your static one.
