sphpblog to wordpress convertor

  • Hello,

    Today I migrated from sphpblog to WordPress, and I wrote a small script (it’s a quick-n-dirty script, but it works) to convert the posts and comments from the sphpblog file based system to the WordPress database.

    You can find it here. Have fun with it ??

  • Hi! I tried to use your converter but it didn’t work for me. It seems to get hung right after the initial opening. I set it up just as you suggested, but can’t get it to work at all.

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

    Since the script didn’t work for me, I modified it to actually create the posts and comments. It also transforms the characters to utf-8 (UNICODE) before inserting them in the database. The modified script can be found here. The scrips now also fixes URLs and html braces “[“.

    The comment count also needs to be fixed after running the script. This script takes care of that.

    I have updated the script above and packaged it with rawlinsons comment count script into a small toolbox which can be found here.

    Features:
    * Posts and comments migration from sphpblog text files to wordpress database
    * Fixes for images, urls and html formatting.
    * Conversion to unicode
    * Creates “page moved” for old sphpblog permalinks to correct wordpress post
    * Comment counts update.

    Enjoy, and always backup your wordpress database.
