Looking to migrate from WPML

Thanks Leandro for your message.

I have start to look to make a migration plugin from Wpml to Falang but nothing is released yet.
A Falang user send me a test WPML site to try on real site.
You’re site i a woocommerce site , what is your template ?

i will only transfert menu/post/page/product in my first release but i don’t know yet it will be available.

ps: nice picture by the way.

Sorry for the late reply, I never got a notification about your message.

I’m using the theme Fluxus. It doesn’t support WooCommerce out of the box, so I added support myself following the official docs. It does support WPML though.

I can send you access to my staging site if that helps. I can also do some tests on my local environment if needed. I’d love to help get the plugin released.

Hi,

I have the same problem sometimes i don’t receive notificiation. even in the spam.

i will try to have a look in the next days and see if i can send you a test version.

how many product/page/post do you have.

Stéphane

I have:
– 106 pages (96 translated)
– 214 blog posts (only 2 translated)
– 491 products (472 translated)

Some custom post type from a theme and a few plugins.

Thanks for all the informations.

i will update this post when i have something to test.
Perhaps during next week.

Hi,

i have started the plugin for migration
i will have something to test next week.

The languages are created automatically
the post are migrate (post, products, menu…)

a backup need to be done because i have to delete the wpml translation posts.
WPML use a post by language
FALANG use a post for the default language and translation in the meta for the translated language.

my test site is in 5 languages
en,es,cz,de,ru

Hi,

I can test this on a local environment or a staging live site. I have only two languages: English (secondary) and Spanish (primary).

Ok,

this is perfect, 2 languages it’s easier.

don’t forget to make backup and be sure you can restore it, the migration tools will modify original data

Just to update the thread,

I have send a pre release version to @leandroprz

the post/page/products (woocommerce) where imported to Falang

It’s an Ajax import due to the big number of data he has.

I’m finishing it and i will release it.

Hi,
