Installation Instructions
-------------------------

[](#installation-instructions)

```

This module was forked from: And altered to work with silverstripe-blog 2.5.

If you are running silverstripe-blog 1.x, please go to the original module (untested in this module).

NOTE: After upgrading from blog 1.x to 2.x don't forget to run dev/tasks/BlogMigrationTask as indicated in the silverstripe/blog documentation.

### Usage Overview

[](#usage-overview)

#### Export WordPress data

[](#export-wordpress-data)

In your WordPress admin, go to Tools » Export. Export only the blog posts of your site.

#### Silverstripe

[](#silverstripe)

Make sure you have flushed your site (?flush=1). Go to your Silverstripe admin, edit the main Blog-page in your SiteTree. Click on the tab "Import", select the exported XML-file and click "Import Wordpress XML File".

It will change any links to uploaded images and files in your posts that follow the convention "" to "" which allows you to migrate you uploaded images and files over to SilverStripe assets folder while maintaining images in your posts.

### Optional Rewriting

[](#optional-rewriting)

Add this in your .htaccess file to port old wordpress posts in the form /yyyy/mm/name-of-post/ to new SilverStripe /blog/name-of-post convention.

```
RewriteRule ^[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/(.*)$ /blog/$1 [R,L]

```

Known issues:
-------------

[](#known-issues)

1. Content can lose a lot of the formatting coming from Wordpress.
2. Perhaps parsing the content through a nl2br might help?
3. Image captions need to be catered for and styled otherwise they end up looking like un-parse shortcodes.
