Edwin, its a serious weakness for anyone coming to EE with an existing blog in wordpress. I had to manually do it, fortunately there weren’t that many posts. This though doesn’t capture all the comments.

I’ve done it once before, but somehow it doesn’t. With 1400+ posts I don’t like to do it manually.

Wish they (software creators) would think of the users.

Finally I do have the WordPress XML file, but not any of the scripts listed will convert it in a mt file for import.

Tried the Google scripts, but those are not focessed on people with no knowledge in Python.

Has anyone tried going directly from WP-exported XML through the XMLGrab addon into EE? I have used its sibling, CSVGrab, many times for other tasks, but have never tried to import a WP site - and have never scoped out XMLGrab. So I could be all wet.

Don’t understand how that is supposed to work.

Still trying to import the file. This time by going to mt first. Problem is that there are many things stopping the import with cryptic error messages.

I really hope that one day EE will make a importer for people willing to move from WordPress.

About to give this up.

Did you ever find a solution to this EdwinKort? I’ve got a project coming up that requires moving 4000+ posts from Wordpress to EE and I’m a bit worried now!

Unfortunately not. I did it the hard way. Installed MovableType on my hosting, imported it there, then used the export function from MT and imported that into EE. HAd to manually remove all comments from the MT.txt file (over 4000 posts..) I do hope EE will make an import for WordPress, as I believe WordPress is one of the most used blog engine.

alao it is my proble.. hope to be solved
