    Good Afternoon, we are using your plugin to bring over a joomla database and for the most part it works. However it does not bring over the articles, even after we archived them. Not sure if it takes time for it to process that they have archived but the blogs were missing from the blog page of the live joomla site when I did it so I assume it worked right away. So That didn’t work and since un-archived them as I did not want to make 100 404s just pop up haha! So Is there any way we can figure out what the issue may be?
    Also on another note is the premium features. I see that they can bring in the meta, keywords, and such but our biggest issue or request is the ability to bring in the exact link structures of the joomla site into wordpress. As of now each page brought over has a new URL structure and if they were child pages they are not top level pages so I want to know if the premium helps with link structures as well? Please let me know if you can help and thank you in advance!

    What did you choose for the “Archived posts” option? “Not imported”, “Import as drafts” or “Import as published posts”?

    Are you using an extra Joomla add-on that manages the blog?

    The Premium version will not keep the URL?structure, but it will make 301 redirects from the Joomla URLs to their corresponding WordPress URLs.

    Hello Kerfred, I am sorry to keep you waiting, I didnt recieve a notification of a reply! Ok so For the option I choose Import as Published Posts.

    On Joomla the blogs are run through RSBlog Version 1.0.0.

    Ok I think the 301 redirects will help somewhat for SEO, do you know of any other way to try and keep the URL structure for the pages?

    Our plugin is not compatible with RSBlog. But we can develop an add-on to import the RSBlog posts to WordPress.
    Could you send me your Joomla database through https://www.wetransfer.com and send me the download link through https://www.fredericgilles.net/support/ ?
    I’ll use your database for testing.
