In reply to: migrating from Blogger to WP, on my own domainThe easiest way I found to migrate from self hosted FTP Blogger to selfhosted wordpress (wordpress.org) was:
1. Export blog from Blogger as xml file (go to Settings on Blogger´s dashboard, then Basic, and finally Blog Tools)
2. Create a temporary blogspot.com blog (again, through the dashboard)
3. Import your xml file to the temporary blogspot.com blog
4. In WordPress under Tools use the WordPress import tool to import from the temporary blogspot.com blogOf course now you are stuck with the issue of figuring out how to redirect your post links from your old domain (the original one) to your new one. It seems like all the plugins out there are set up to redirect from blogspot urls to wordpress ones. I´m having a hard time finding a way to redirect my posts from my original (not temporary blogspot.com) blog posts to the new wordpress one.
Anyway, hope this helps with the initial part of migration!
Hi,
I am placing stunnaboi’s code in the PHP code widget for my sidebar and nothing happened. Am I missing something? Is there a special place I need to put this for it to be implemented? Sorry if this is a very basic question – new to php!
thanks!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to show posts from same category as current post in sidebar?Thanks for the code! I have very limited php experience and am running into a small problem. On a category page if the first post belongs to three categories I’ll get a list of posts for each category instead of only the list of posts for the current category. Don’t know enough about php to see if there is an obvious reason why it’s paying more attention to the post’s category than the page’s category. Is there any way to alter the code so it only shows posts from the current category instead?
Thanks a ton!
