Is WordPress a good fit for me?

rivkadr — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:03:01 +0000

I run a very large and complex fansite, that is currently using Postnuke (Zikula). I’m having a lot of issues with the site and with Zikula in general, part of which is the fact that the community as a whole appears to be dying out and good plugins and support are difficult to find (never mind how buggy the scripts are).

So I’m thinking of switching to a different platform. My boss was showing me the WordPress 3 Beta, and I’m intrigued, but I’m not sure it’s the right fit for me. Will I be able to do the following with WP?

– assign administrative permissions per section of the site? Specifically, if I have a “News Admin”, I want them only editing/adding content related to the News, not mucking around with the Encyclopedia or the Fanfiction.

– allow subscribed users to submit content to ALL sections of the site, but have it reviewed by an admin before going live? I.e. we allow users to submit news, fanfiction, gallery photos, recipes, encyclopedia entries, and a host of other things. I want them to be able to continue to submit items like that, without having them go into the admin panel itself.

– are there any really good forum plugins?

– good gallery plugins? I’m especially interested in something that allows users to submit to individual folders, for example.

Basically, my site is based on the idea of community built content. Is this something that is possible in WP, or am I better off looking at something like Drupal?

Migrate PostNuke to WordPress 2.5

tifosi — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:18:04 +0000

A current project involves the migration of the core content of a large Postnuke site to WordPress Taxonomy (2.7). Since all the old converstion scripts are based on the old wordpress categories I have created a script/wizard to import Postnuke topics, stories, sections & users.

Postnuke to WP import

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 18:09:39 +0000

I did a search of the forums for Postnuke to WP import/conversion and noticed a few people seem to have done it, but couldn’t find any practical tips and / or tools for the job.

Could someone point me in the right direction of an import script please? (or indeed any other useful info welcome).

Thanks

Finally!

I’ve been working on converting https://www.deeperdevotion.com from postnuke to wordpress for about six months. The hardest part was converting the mysql database over. While I did the coding, special thanks the 323media for the design.

htaccess redirect from Postnuke to WordPress

trentl — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 23:45:23 +0000

I’m moving my blog from Postnuke to WordPress and need to be able to setup an .htaccess redirect.

I’m simply looking for the htaccess code that can redirect all Postnuke article urls such as: https://trentl.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=94

to their WP counterpart: https://trentl.com/?p=94

I also need to be able to redirect /backend.php to /?feed=rss2

I’m a total htaccess n00b, and I already converted the database, I just need help figuring out the exact working htaccess code to do what I want. Please help. I need to fix this ASAP.

Thank you in advanced.

htaccess redirect (301) from Postnuke to WordPress

Hi,

I’m moving my blog from Postnuke to WordPress and need to be able to setup an .htaccess redirect from trentl.com to trentl.com/wp/.

I’m not really schooled on htaccess so I’m struggling to get it to work so that my Postnuke posts redirect to the same posts on my WordPress install. I already converted the database, I just need help figuring out the exact working code to use to do what I want. Please help.

Maual SQL Post Upload: What are the wp-postmeta and wp-post2cat tables?

kayaker — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 20:13:10 +0000

I have an old postnuke sql file that no longer resides in a db. I’ve stripped it down to the title, time and post, and want to drop all the old posts (100+) into my new wordpress blog. I can build the “insert into…” commands for the wp-posts table but what do I need to do in the wp-postmets and wp-post2cat tables to get them to jive?

My plan is to start at my last post number (47) and add from there the commands:

INSERT INTO wp_posts VALUES (1, 48, '2006...

Am I up in the night? Will this work? Pitfalls?
