## Description

Mytory Importer for Tistory allows you to import your Tistory blog backup into WordPress.
Tistory is a leading blog service in Korea. This plugin supports importing posts,
dates, tags, categories, images, and files conveniently.
 Mytory is the developer’s
personal nickname. The developer uses the WordPress.org account `mytory` and owns
https://mytory.net. This is an independently developed plugin, not an official plugin
of Tistory or Kakao. You can choose whether to import dates, tags, and categories.
There is also an option to convert images to WebP format to save storage space.

WordPress does not allow uploading HWP files by default. However, since many Korean
users frequently use HWP files, this plugin enables HWP file uploads by default.

#### Important Notes

 1. Imports posts, dates, tags, categories, and images from a Tistory backup.
 2. Does not import duplicate posts.
 3. Cannot properly handle videos or other special features.
 4. Tistory backups do not indicate whether posts are public or private. After importing,
    you must manually set private posts to private.
 5. Tistory backups do not include “Read More” folded content. You must manually transfer
    that content.
 6. If the import fails, it may be due to excessive data in the backup. Try extracting
    the Tistory backup and compressing it into multiple ZIP files, each containing 
    around 100 folders, then import them separately.
