I'm creating a WXR from scratch that later will be imported into WordPress. I´m converting from an older system and need to know what is needed and what is optional? Is there any docs. on this?
The head section I can take from current WP setup but what about the item section. Here is an example of an item:
<item>
<title>AIK hockey</title>
<pubDate>Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:37:19 +0000</pubDate>
<dc:creator><![CDATA[jenswedin]]></dc:creator>
<category><![CDATA[Team Sweden]]></category>
<category domain="category" nicename="team-sweden"><![CDATA[Team Sweden]]></category>
<description></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[]]></content:encoded>
<excerpt:encoded><![CDATA[]]></excerpt:encoded>
<wp:post_id></wp:post_id>
<wp:post_date></wp:post_date>
<wp:post_date_gmt></wp:post_date_gmt>
<wp:comment_status>open</wp:comment_status>
<wp:ping_status>open</wp:ping_status>
<wp:post_name></wp:post_name>
<wp:status>draft</wp:status>
<wp:post_parent></wp:post_parent>
<wp:menu_order></wp:menu_order>
<wp:post_type>post</wp:post_type>
<wp:post_password></wp:post_password>
<wp:postmeta>
<wp:meta_key>country</wp:meta_key>
<wp:meta_value>sweden</wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>
</item>
I wonder if it is ok to leave out the below or just keep them empty?
wp:post_id
wp:post_date
wp:post_date_gmt
wp:comment_status
wp:ping_status
wp:post_name
wp:post_parent
wp:menu_order
wp:post_password
