I see that you can import links into wordpress, but is there any way to export links from wordpress to another installation of wordpress (of a different version, if that matters at all)? Thanks for your help,

Posted 6 years ago #I have a script which collects the links from WordPress and outputs them to OPML format. Just tested it and seems to import fine.
Example:
http://guff.szub.net/links2opml.phpSource:
http://guff.szub.net/wp-content/sourceprt.php?file=links2opml.phpDownload:
http://guff.szub.net/downloads/links2opml.phpDrop the script file in your blog's root directory (where wp-config.php is located). Use its URL for importing to another WordPress install, or save the output viewed through your browser to a file and upload.
Note the $show_all variable at the top of the script, which is used to toggle display of link visibility set in Links Manager. 1 (default setting) = all links display; 0 (zero) = only links set to visible will display.

<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function: get_authordata() in <b>/home/showviz/public_html/dave/170/opml.php</b> on line <b>18</b>

Posted 6 years ago #(Hmm, why did I use that as a function call in the script?)
Fixed. Re-download and try it again.

Installed this on WP 2.0 and receive the following error msg. Any suggestions ?Joe
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Posted 6 years ago #Joe, it's an issue with double-quotes in the description. Just updated the script so it converts these to HTML entities.

Posted 6 years ago #How difficult would it be to modify the code to include categories? For instance, if I have links divided into five categories, and only want to export the links in Category B, how difficult would it be to modify the code to accomodate?

Not too difficult...
Follow the links above for updated script. You'll now find a $link_cats variable at top. Just give the link category ID number as the value:
$link_cats = '2';For multiple link categories, separate with a comma:
$link_cats = '2,4,6'; -

Hi!
PHP Worked like a charm, got my .xml file in 2 secs. I see all the links there, but when exporting i get:Importing...
XML error: no element found at line 1Inserted 0 links into category 1. All done! Go manage those links.
im exporting from a WP 1.5.2 and importing on a 2.0...
any ideas? -
Posted 6 years ago #Hmm. Just tested an import from 1.5.2 to 2.0, and no problems here.
dbasulto, do you have a link to the export (1.5.2) blog, or rather the links2opml file therein?
-
-
Posted 6 years ago #Hmm.
I can't duplicate the error you receive. The url provided rolls right into my (2.0) test site's link importer without a hitch. I was hoping something was throwing in an empty line at the start of the script, but nope.
dbasulto, can you save the output from your links2opml to a file locally, and try uploading that through Import Links? Note: make certain the OPML URL field is empty (no 'http://') when you do this.

Ok, once I have the link http://fragilemusings.net/links2opml.php what do I do with it next? Do I save it to my computer?

Posted 5 years ago #You can save it, but if you're trying to import links from it into another WordPress installation, you can just point to it (Links > Import Links).

Posted 5 years ago #It's not working for me - when I try to import direct from http://www.mimeomai.f2s.com/oolong/ac/sourceprt.php it gives me 'XML error: syntax error at line 1
Inserted 0 links into category 1. All done! Go manage those links.'
Interestingly, saving the file and then importing it gives me the subtly different 'XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 68
Inserted 0 links into category 1. All done! Go manage those links.'
...any suggestions?
