I've managed to migrate MomEx posts, which run on Wordpress, to Drupal 5.9 on my test server. Whoopee!
I used Wordpress Import, a pretty powerful tool which is still in development mode. On the surface it's a straightforward process of installing the module, uploading your Wordpress .wxr file and then mapping out which posts are 'owned' [...]
I need to write this down to serve as a list in determining a mass migration of my sites from Wordpress to Drupal, so I'll just blog it right? I'll start with a list of a few Wordpress issues I am frustrated with, off the top of my head:
Asides: I wanna show posts (or post [...]
I upgraded this blog and now my permalinks structure causes 404 errors.
I have reverted this to use Wordpress Default, and am not using permalinks at the moment.
I am investigating the sql file and my (very few) plugins but I don't know if the issue is there. I think it may have to do with rules [...]
Am having fun with applying the Recent Comments plugin with Gravatars on my sites. I started with simple code, showing this:
using this code:
<a href="{commenterurl}" target="new"><span class="stats"><strong>{commenter}</strong></span></a> on <a href="{url}"><strong>{title}</strong></a> <a href="{commenturl}" rel="bookmark" title="{commentdate} at {commenttime}">: <em>{commentsnippet:50}</em>...</a><br><br>
I've been mucking about Wordpress' meta info and such because I'm trying to show posts from specific categories to show up at specific places outside of the loop. Yes, this is one of those techie posts with code stuff and all so if you're looking for my usual touchy feely monotonous nonsense, move along this [...]
I just fixed one of the most confounding problems I'd ever come across on Wordpress, so I'm sharing how I did it because I definitely couldn't find the solution after weeks of trying.
See I was trying to get the valid XML feed for a particular Tag or Category from this blog, a process I've instigated [...]
But got it up from a day old sql backup. I posted this morning but I managed to retrieve that as well by being subscribed to my own RSS feed, so it was 'backed up' more or less.
Can I just say, WHEEEEWWWWWWW!
What I was working on needed a new db installed and I foolishly created [...]
New Wordpress Out Again!! And for the life of me, even if I've been webmastering in the wonderful of Wordpress for years now, I still don't enjoy the process of upgrading, unassuaged* by the fact I have to do it 3 times every time (I have 3 blogs, not including this).
At any rate, further investigation [...]
