Impot Wordpress

[Suporte JRetail]

Hi,

So my question basically is: is there any way to migrate WordPress files/website to confluence?

Hi @Suporte JRetail 

Check this discussion.

Having said that, unless you have a tremendously complex content over thousands of pages, you might be better off doing the copy-paste from the WordPress website to Confluence.

Success of any tooling you develop always depends on how uniform your source content is.

We did 4 docs migration from multiple resources to Confluence (websites generated from MadCap, Paligo, Zendesk...), between 50 and 500 pages each.

And it was always the case of ... copy paste + sanity check and fixing internal docset links takes much less time and effort than coding your way thru the migration AND doing the sanity check and post editing anyway.

Confluence editor on Cloud is great in processing pasted content. A part time intern did 450 pages in about 6 weeks working alone.

Hi @Kristian Klima 

Seeing the discussion and you response it will be easier to move with control + c, I have about a 1000 pages, but I don't have the knowledge to do a program only to migrate 1000 pages.

Thanks for the response

Collateral benefit... when doing this manually, you'll have a chance to clean up and improve the content, it's a rare chance to see all of your content in a short time span.

So I can copy everything except the images from the wordpress, isn't there anyway to copy the images with control+c? It always goes as preview unavaliable

Right.... 

Images are a mixed bag - most of the time I was able to copy them just fine. Sometimes the image came across as a link that displayed as an image (often when the source page wasn't publicly available). Sometimes it did not come at all.

I wasn't able to find the pattern. 

Is there any difference when you copy the page from an HTML site compared to the editor?

Copy/past the image alone sometimes worked. When it didn't, it was 'download image' and drag-drop onto a confluence page.

Ok, the HTML worked better, I could copy then in the editor too, thanks for the help
