Simple Steps for Converting a WordPress Website to a CMS

Post by wrenloren »

Hi there! I want to move from my WordPress website to CMS Made Simple while keeping all of my data intact. How should I approach this, and should I also incorporate the produt transfer?

Hi,
As far as I know the only option at the moment is the ImportExport module that I have started working on. https://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/importexport
So far it will import WP posts into a LISE Instance but I haven't worked on importing WP pages into Content Manager.
Importing Products is probably a bigger job and better to do manually for now. If you can export them from WP then you can probably manipulate a csv and import them into LISE. It's usually a trial and error job but worthwhile if you have enough products, if not a manual copy & paste is probably faster.
