• I know that there doesn’t seem to be an importer script for PM to WP. But I was wondering if anyone had step by step instructions for pulling your entries from your PM database via SQL and then placing them in your WP database?’

    I have years worth of entries I just hate to lose. But I love WP so much I am not willing to go back to PM.

  • For a list of information regarding importing content into WordPress:

    If you do not find something that “matches” the PM data export that can be used to import into WordPress, using a good multi-line search and replace text editor or utilities may help you to modify your PM exported data into something like the layout for MT and then import it from there.

    I converted over 500 static html pages into something that resembled the MT import file and that worked, though I had some cleaning and fixing to do, before and after. I talk about it on my site if you are interested.

    you ask for it you get it i posted it up to my site since its long, including both instructions for reg and pro-
    i will warn the instructions like i said are long and complicated, some if it can be done in word pad with a find and replace all but you will still have to alter each my sql string a bit too.. i came up with the for Robin who is using word press @ beaglesarebad.com btw- I use mambo lol

    btw my email is rachell@xaebaby.com if anyone finds my instructions to complicated or unclear, has questions etc.
