Have you tried the default RSS Import option?
More at the Importing_Content page.
I have not. I’ll give that a shot. Frankly I didn’t even realize it existed.
I manually created my own RSS templates and that’s a really good idea. Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll follow up with the results.
EDIT:
Well, I did find that wordpress can import a straight XML file that was output by RSS and it imports the posts just fine.
It’s just going to take a very long time. because the blog i’m importing has been running for 4 years and has 2000+ entries.
Is this the only way?
Might be the only free way.
Well I’ve figured this out but it’s not pretty.
What I did was install one of the blogs that WP imports from. exported an rss, imported it to make sure it brought over the comments and username.
Then built my own rss page for expression engine structured the same way so WP could do it.
I had to do 400 posts at a time or the browser would simply time out, but it did work.
how do you deal with the images & links on the rss template?
anyone successfully imported have results of the import? Why did u switch to WP from ee?
Will this help or is it too late? I just googled for “convert expression engine to wordpress” and this was the third hit. It’s about a year old but should still be relevant. 🙂
