import plog 1.0 db to wordpress

Everything went smoothly, but as stated, no comments were carried over. Does anyone know how to import the comments as well? I have 500+ that I’d prefer not to lose.

I am afraid, there is no immediate cure for your problem so I suggest to carry over your comments manually.
Simply, there is no real interest in plog to wp migration.

I have written a pLog (Lifetype) to WordPress 2.0 importer. This was primarily for my own personal use, but I would like to share it with the community and hopefully get it bundled. Enjoy!

So danrooke, does this still work? If so, I’m sure ALOT of ppl over at the “old plog” forum or now called (Lifetype) would LOVE to have it. =) I know I would.. because I was in dire need of it back then. =)

If it does, I’ll be the brave soul to post about it at their forum, being that I have a Forum membership already…..and wouldn’t be much loss because I ditched them anyways for WP. LOL!

I have just completed the code today, and run several test runs with pLog version 1.0.1 and WordPress version 2.0. I am however having a problem with the comments assigning to posts with WordPress 2.0.1. I haven’t time to fully investigate it just yet.

Hope it can be of some use to people! Feedback welcome.

Well, either way dan, you’re extensive time and efforts to get this going is amazing. =) And will be very much loved and appreciated.. =) No rush, just keep working at it or whatever, and as you posted already…someone should post replies that should or could help ya get this done… =)

There’s ALOT of smart ppls in this forum.. =) I’m just not one of them, especially when it comes to php.. =(

Cheers Spencer, I hope so!

I have looked at the problem I reported further. It should not cause any problems for people following the prompts, only when the import posts step is missed out (like I did when testing) will the problem occur.

I am aware that the posts import can be quite slow. I’d appreciate feedback on the speed of the imports of posts from people who have used this importer, please provide the number of posts imported and the time taken.

Thanks,
Dan

danrooke- thank you so much for this! It worked incredibly well… no problems converting from Plog 1.0.0, to WordPress 2.0.1

– Backed up plog database (2 mins)
– Moved all old plog files to new directory (1 min)
– Installed WordPress 2.0.1 using new database (6 mins)
– Downloaded/Uploaded plog importer (1 min)
– Imported Categories (1 sec)
– Imported Users (1 sec)
– Imported Posts (58 mins)
– Imported Comments (1 sec)

The entire process took a little over an hour, but I was able to monitor the progress of the posts being added on my new page. I’m very happy that I held out for this importer. Thanks again!!

No worries, glad you found it useful!

Thanks for the feedback, it shows that there is definately some optimisation to be done under the posts import – although I did spend some time on this when writing the importer.

Enjoy your new WordPress blog!

I have just switched from plog to wordpress. The plog2wp-importer did not work well for me, it did not import all articles. So I used the rss import.

There is still no way to import a.e. graphics and images uploaded to plog so I wrote a little php-script to make things a little bit easier with this issue. This is not a plugin and it is not an automatic importer at all, but it lowers the amount of work needed to get the resources over to wordpress significantly.
