This litte project is an importer for WordPress XML dumps into refinerycms(-blog). This litte project is an importer for WordPress XML dumps into refinerycms(-blog).
So far, only blog-relevant data gets imported, I'm working on the cms pages part.
You can find the source code on github: https://github.com/mremolt/refinerycms-wordpress-import You can find the source code on github: https://github.com/mremolt/refinerycms-wordpress-import
Keep in mind, this gem imports blog posts and pages, NOT the media files, as they are not
part of the XML dump! You have to manually readd them to Refinery.
The same goes for links to other pages on your site. WordPress exports them just as <a>-Tags.
If your site (blog) structure uses new urls, the links WILL break! For example, if you used
the popular WP blog url structure "YYYY-MM/slug", be warned that Refinery just uses "blog/slug".
So your inner site links will point to the old WP url.

If you also want to import the cms part of WordPress, three more rake tasks manage
the import into RefineryCMS Pages:
rake wordpress:reset_pages
This task deletes all data from the cms tables, ensuring a clean import. Otherwise existing
pages could break the import because of duplicate IDs.
rake wordpress:import_pages[file_name]
This task imports all the WordPress pages into Refinery. The page structure (parent - child)
is preserved.
If you want to skip the draft pages, add the ONLY_PUBLISHED parameter to this task,
just like with wordpress:import_blog.
rake wordpress:import_pages[file_name] ONLY_PUBLISHED=true
If you want to clean the tables and import in one task:
rake wordpress:reset_and_import_pages[file_name]
