migration from wordpress to processwire

[Christophe]

Hi,

I've arrived again on this topic. 

The link here doesn't seem to be valid anymore: "The topic discussing the migrator is roughly here: https://processwire....migrator/page-6".

This link appears 3 times.

I've just sent the link to this topic to someone I've been trying to convince, from time to time, to migrate to Processwire. He uses WordPress, but also CakePHP at his work.

Sorry for that - at one point I merged some posts into that thread and the ID changed, hence the broken links.

Best bet is to actually just point them to the Github repos:

https://github.com/adrianbj/ProcessMigrator

https://github.com/NicoKnoll/MigratorWordpress

The main migrator thread is now at: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8660-migrator

Thanks for spreading the word!

Hello,

I have successfully installed ProcessMigrator, but when I install Migrator Wordpress into my modules directory and check for new modules in PW, I get an error as a result, it seems, of PW looking for a file called 'MigratorAbstract.php' that isn't in the module download:

Warning: require_once(/modules/ProcessMigrator/MigratorAbstract.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /modules/MigratorWordpress/MigratorWordpress.module on line 7

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/modules/ProcessMigrator/MigratorAbstract.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php') in /modules/MigratorWordpress/MigratorWordpress.module on line 7
Compile Error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/modules/ProcessMigrator/MigratorAbstract.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/lib/php') (line 7 of /modules/MigratorWordpress/MigratorWordpress.module) 
This error message was shown because site is in debug mode ($config->debug = true; in /site/config.php). Error has been logged.

I appreciate any help on this.

Looks like it should be - https://github.com/adrianbj/ProcessMigrator/blob/master/MigratorAbstract.php

Have you installed the modules on a different path somehow?

[adrian]

I think DaveP is correct - sounds like maybe you didn't install ProcessMigrator is the "normal" way. MigratorWordpress needs to see that MIgratorAbstract.php file inside modules/ProcessMIgrator

I could probably change things up so that this path can be different, but please check if setting things up like that works as expected.

BTW, the easiest way to install a module that is not in the PW modules directory is to use the "Add Module from URL" option and point it to the Github "Download Zip" link, eg: https://github.com/adrianbj/ProcessMigrator/archive/master.zip

Thanks so much, DaveP and adrian! I had originally tried the instruction to "Download and place the module folder named "ProcessPageTreeMigrator" in: /site/modules/." I removed the files and installed both using "Add Module From URL..." and both installed fine.

Thanks again!

Wow - sorry about that - very old instructions when the module had a different name - I'll update those in a minute

Glad it's working for you now!

this module still working, up-to-date? super useful for people getting annoyed with wordpress and migrating.

Trying WordpressMigrator

 

"File hokejablogs.wordpress.2018-01-08.xml is 5880279 bytes which exceeds max allowed size of 2097152 bytes"

I can't find the way to change max upload size.

Change it in your php.ini...if you have access to system files on your server. If not, there are other ways.

Ah. Dumb me. I changed wrong property. Auto "memory_limit" blame. Thanks.
