Hi Azeem,
Thanks a lot for your nice work. I have successfully migrated my website http://www.madaboutanything.com/blog/ from Joomla to Wordpress today with your tool.
Thanks once again.
Laurent, on January 24th, 2008 at 12:52 pm Said:

Thank you so much for this. I’ve just tested it and it works fine, I cant thank you enough as you just saved me an incredible amount of work!!
The bug with the category is really minimal. I had a similar bug from the one you describe.
I imported one set of posts from Joomla into a virgin category using the script. The category showed 0 posts. I then created a post and the category showed the right amount. I then deleted some posts from the category via mysql and in WP the number didnt update. It only did once i created another new post in the category.

Thanks again!
Jon, on January 27th, 2008 at 9:00 pm Said:

Will this delete the joomla database completely? Or will it simply just copy the files and leave the original joomla db intact? Thanks!
Azeem, on January 27th, 2008 at 11:37 pm Said:

It does not delete the joomla db it simply copies the files from the db. If you like you can manually delete the db once the files have been copied. Always remember to back up the db before messing with it.

To do a backup, I suggest using phpmyadmin (click on the db name) click on export, check the box to save as a file, check off gzip compression hit ok and save on your hd.

Is there a way to transfer the comments with each posts as well? I would really REALLY appreciate it if you could let me know a solution…. thanks!
Azeem, on January 28th, 2008 at 2:41 pm Said:

Joomla does not have a bult-in commenting system. What Third party plugin were you using for comments?

I was using JoomlaBoard which I am currently working on another script to transfer my own comments.
De Fries, on January 31st, 2008 at 6:48 am Said:

Any ideas how this could be made to import from joomla 1.5?

And does this script also import pages/childpages and such?
Azeem, on January 31st, 2008 at 8:02 am Said:

I have not checked out the database schema for Joomla 1.5 yet. Even if it is a little different it will not be hard to make changes in the script to make it work. It would just affect 1 query, well maybe 2 at most.
De Fries, on January 31st, 2008 at 9:27 am Said:

Well, if you have the time to look at it I could really use it
Azeem, on January 31st, 2008 at 9:39 am Said:

Okay, I will check it out. I added a feature to subscribe to comments. You might want to do that. I will try to get it soon. Once I do, I’ll just comment here.
Azeem, on February 1st, 2008 at 7:11 pm Said:

De fries:

Ok try out this extension:

it should allow you to move your content from 1.5 installation back to 1.0.13 (just do a clean install of 1.0.13 in a different folder with a different db)

and then you can use my script. This might be the quickest way to make this work. (I did start looking at the 1.5 db schema, but didn’t have enough time to do any coding)
De Fries, on February 6th, 2008 at 3:53 am Said:

Sounds like a good work around. I will definitely give it a go. Thanks for looking into it!

Eddie, on February 17th, 2008 at 11:20 am Said:

hey, im at the step where i have wordpress installed on same db and host as joomla. and i have to silly questions.

1. do i need to create a seperate database?

2. does this only copy the posts i.e not the whole web site (design)

i only have 3 posts so far so it wouldnt be a big deal to re create them i really just need to get my site running off wordpress.

am i barking up the wrong tree? ok thats a third stupid question.
Azeem, on February 18th, 2008 at 10:02 am Said:

Eddie:

What you need to use this script is:
1. An existing joomla installation
2. A wordpress installation

in the config file you enter the db connections for each db and also specify the table prefixes

I have not tested this script with bot installs on the same database, I imagine that would work, but if they are on separate dbs that would be better.

No this script will not move your template over, this is only to move your actual content.

Tarod, on April 9th, 2008 at 12:03 pm Said:

Thanks for the tool. This worked perfectly. One more question though: Do you know of a tool that can convert joomla templates to Wordpress easily? I haven’t found one and didn’t want to get back into the CSS.

Thanks
Azeem, on May 1st, 2008 at 2:47 pm Said:

@Tarod

I haven’t come across any template converters yet. I am actually thinking of making an app in .NET or Adobe AIR which does just that. Seems like a time consuming project though which would require hours of effort. The biggest hurdles will be completely understanding the respective template structures, and ongoing dilemma will be dealing with changes made in those templating schemes (keeping it up to date).
Jason Frovich, on May 1st, 2008 at 3:37 pm Said:

Thanks this worked AMAZING…
Now all i need a a plug in for Categories that handle 2 or more levels deep.

Ill keep looking or have to stick to joomla..
Matt, on May 1st, 2008 at 4:03 pm Said:

Worked great the first time. Installed WP 2.3.2, ran the tool, then upgraded to WP 2.5.1. Flawless for me. Thanks!
rizky, on May 1st, 2008 at 6:47 pm Said:

When I proceed to step 2, I get “Query Failed”. How can I solve that?
Azeem, on May 2nd, 2008 at 2:55 pm Said:

@rizky check the config file make sure your table prefixes are correct. You would only get this error if the query formed by the script is bad. If you can share the query that failed (its printed out) then I might be able to tell whats up with it.

I just migrated from Joomla into WordPress Version 2.5.1 and it worked flawlessly.
Thanks a ton!
Azeem, on May 21st, 2008 at 11:30 am Said:

As long as the db schema (structure) of WP isn’t changed this script will work on current versions of WP. As Sage above just said he was able to import directly into 2.5.1.

I am assuming the script will not work with Joomla 1.5, but will work with any 1.0.x version
Henrik, on June 2nd, 2008 at 2:18 am Said:

Thanks a million for the script!

I had some problems in the beginning because my Joomla 1.0 site was in Finnish and the script didn’t work proberly when the articles I tried to import had special characters like ä or ö in the title. Changing these characters solved the problem. Migration to Wordpress 2.5.1 workes fine.

Can i move my user registrations from Joomla to Wordpress with this script?
Azeem, on August 13th, 2008 at 6:11 am Said:

@Joomler

No the script does not import users, but you can specify in the configuration file which user should be the author of the articles when importing. admin is default. In WP create the users first before using the username in the configuration file.
yavuz yayla, on August 13th, 2008 at 5:26 pm Said:

Hi,

First at all its a great thing to make this happen.In spite of the fact that I have more interess in joomla I have seen that its much more easy to get results on the internet by using wordpress.Anyway, I have a running joomla 1.5 site and wanted to change it into wordpress.

I folow the instructions above:

İnstall a 2.2.2 Wordpress , make the necessary changes on the config.php file and run it.

It has worked!

Step 1 and step 2 appeares but there is a major problem!

The characters gets lost!

http://v2.geyve.org/wordpress-to-joomla.jpg

ş,ç,ı,ğ,ö,ü characters are used in the turkish language ( Usally needs ISO-8859-9)

I cld not understand why because both of the databases uses utf-8 as defaut character set.

I wonder if there were anything possible to show them corrctly.

Please heeeeeeelp
Mike, on August 27th, 2008 at 8:20 pm Said:

I tried using this to import the Joomla articles. It must be connecting to the database for step one because it successfully pulled all the categories. Great. But once you select it to move to step two, I got the following error:

“Query Failed”

I’m using wordpress MU but I don’t think that is the problem as the general article structure I believe is the same, but I’ll try it again with a different version.
Mr. Legal Advice, on August 27th, 2008 at 8:42 pm Said:

Upon further review, this script only works for up to Wordpress 2.3. Use that and then upgrade the database to the current 2.6. It works like a charm.
Beijing, on August 31st, 2008 at 12:29 pm Said:

This script only works for wordpress 2.3, so I have imported to an temporary blog and after import I have upgraded it.
I worked without any problem. Thanks buddy.

DocMood, on November 26th, 2008 at 6:20 am Said:

I’m thinking of migrating to either Wordpress or Drupal FROM Joomla 1.0.15. The main reasons:
1. is the lack of consistency for users using Internet Explorer, Firefox and Netscape. Everytime I make a change, it takes hours to check each type of browser and tweak the templates to make it all look OK..and OK is not really good enough!
2. search engines seem to prefer WP or Drupal (even with SEF on in Joomla
3. Joomla just seems less flexible unless I want to use modules and mambots which all seem to conflict one way or another
3. There is no decent integrated FORUM for Joomla (tried FB and currently using Agora which has it’s own issues.

Does any have any advice on which is better. WP or Drupal. I don’t really care about importing the data, I’ll do it manually if I have to and this will give me a chance to rejig a lot of the problems I have with Joomla anyway.

What a amazing script. Thanks a lot !!

My joomla website had texts in portuguese with tons of accents (ç,é,á,ó,ü, ê,…). I had problems with that migrating these texts.

To solve this problem without much work, I replaced all ocorrences of “$row[" by "utf8_encode($row[", in the index.html file.
Exemple:
before: $row["id"];
after: utf8_encode($row["id"]);

Hope this information was useful.

Carlos Echenique, on April 28th, 2009 at 2:02 pm Said:

With WP 2.7.1, I had to modify the query and the database to allow some null values to be uploaded. Also, the ID cannot be loaded as null because it is an auto-incrementing value. However, the script only partially uploads my data. Also, trying to do an entire section at a time causes the few posts that are loaded to all have the same category - the section name - instead of the actual category. This script is very close but not quite there. You seem to be loading up all the data as a huge query. Wouldn’t it be more effective to loop through the joomla database and build a query for each post and then submit it? Your script may be running into memory limits with large sites like mine.

probably you only installed Wordpress without opening it at least once. Just go to your WP-Installation and follow the instructions then you should have a wp-config.php.

*edit*

I read somewhere something… where is your “export” folder? Is it in the WP root? It has to there. Maybe thtá the solution.

Hi, I’m having the same problem as Benjamin. When I exported from joomla to worpdress, the script only gets the first 3 posts of each section/category. At the end of the step 3 I got the next message:

INSERT INTO wp_term_relationships (object_id, term_taxonomy_id) VALUES (’4′, ‘3′)
Query failed

Anyone knows a solution to fix it?.

Thanks in advance.

ps: sorry for my bad english.

@Matias - This is due to special characters (curly quotes, etc.) in the post title.

I’m having the same problem, only I noticed the script also truncates posts if there’s any special characters in there as well.

This is incredibly problematic, seeing as how I’m converting 800 posts and having this problem with also every story.

Thank you so much.
Worked like a charm on j1.013 to wp2.7 !!!

—> BUT, is there any way I can bring over users as well ? Doing this by hand is out of the question since I have a lot.

Again, thank you so much for your work, it’s majorly appreciated

perfectly worked with wp 2.7, but not working with wp 2.8

I had to change the query at line 379 of index.php to be this:

$query = “INSERT INTO “.$wptblprefix.”posts ( post_author, post_title, post_content, post_date, post_modified, post_name, post_category, post_excerpt, to_ping, pinged, post_content_filtered) VALUES ( ‘$ID5′, ‘{$import[1][$j]}’, ‘{$import[2][$j]}’, ‘{$import[3][$j]}’, ‘{$import[4][$j]}’, ‘$post_name’, ‘$wpsection’,”,”,”,”)”;

and then it worked without error messages for me. I am running Joomla 1.5.11 and wordpress 2.7 and I had been getting the “Query failed inserting Section” error. This suggestion is as-is; back up your db first and use this mod at your own risk. thx

anyone have luck getting this to work with wordpress 2.8? i’m a total hack at this stuff but looking at the index.php file, still can’t figure out why it isn’t working.

Not working with Wordpress 2.8.

I get a:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘xxxx’@'xxxxx’ (using password: YES) in /home/xxxx/public_html/site3/export/index.php on line 233

It seems like Wordpress is not accepting connections, but I know username and password are ok.

Thank you for the great work, I’m considering installing Wordpress 2.7 and then upgrade.

Regards,

MG
