WordPress-to-WordPress Import

by Aaron Brazell on July 5, 2006 · 3,639 comments

I know there are quite a lot of folks who have wanted to merge WordPress blogs or in one way or another import from one blog into another. The feature is coming in the next major build of WordPress and is already in place on WordPress.com blog. Trust me. But for now, I have wrapped that code into a plugin. I’ve already merged two blogs and there are other reasons I need this as well. It works. I have not had a lot of other extensive testing, but for me it works.

So while Matt Mullenweg wrote most of this code, I’ve ripped it off and made it into a plugin for those of us not running bleeding-edge next-gen WordPress blogs.

The exporter pumps a WordPress blog (including comments) out to a WXR file (WordPress eXtended RSS). It will allow you to import blog entries and comments into an existing WordPress blog. It does not overwrite existing entries and it respects authors by giving you the ability to choose who the imported entries are attributed to.

To use it, download the zip (7.6k) or tarball (6.8k) and extract.

  1. Upload wp-xmlmigrate.php to wp-content/plugins/
  2. Upload wordpress.php to wp-admin/import/
  3. Activate the plugin.

Note: Both of these files are optional. Uploading wp-xmlmigrate.php and activating will only provide the ability to Export a WordPress blog via the Manage > WP Export menu. Uploading wordpress.php will allow you to import an existing WXR file (a dump from another blog). This file is actually an importer, not a plugin, and so activation is not required to use it. Access the Import mechanism through the standard WordPress Import menu.

Really, the credit goes to Matt Mullenweg for 90% of the code.

Great idea! I would like to ask you something before trying it out: what happens with blogs that use format plugins on posts like Textile, Markdown, etc.? The export gets the “source” of the post (that is, using the plugin’s format) or the processed code (XHTML output)?

Great work!

Felipe–
Textile and MArkdown are both plugins. Therefore they are filters of the_post(). If you look in the database at the raw entry, it will have all the textile/markdown markup. It’s not formatted there. When the_content() is called and filtered on Markdown or Textile, the formatting comes through.

That being the case, if you import a WordPress blog that has been using Textile/Markdown, you’ll be pulling in the raw content that is unformatted. To preserve the formatting, the new blog will have to have Textile or Markdown enabled as well.

Textile and MArkdown are both plugins. Therefore they are filters of the_post(). If you look in the database at the raw entry, it will have all the textile/markdown markup. It’s not formatted there. When the_content() is called and filtered on Markdown or Textile, the formatting comes through.

That being the case, if you import a WordPress blog that has been using Textile/Markdown, you’ll be pulling in the raw content that is unformatted. To preserve the formatting, the new blog will have to have Textile or Markdown enabled as well.

Just leaving a note of gratitude. I’ve been putting off this sort of thing for lack of knowledge and a burning desire to surf for it. The plugin made it a snap. Much appreciate Sir.

And I couldn’t help but notice The Wire: Season 1 peeking at me from below. Great, great show. First class all around in my opinion. McNulty man.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for this plugin, it’s been a great help in setting up a test site for me, so I can play about with themes before they go live!

Even for just a few posts to test, this plugin in invaluble!

Hi,

I’ve just tried to import my old wordpress blog into wordpress.com . Sadly it says

Sorry, there has been an error.

The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

The file is about 2.1mb. Is there any way I can chop the file?
