Hi! I have an ancient Mambo\Jumbo site with database every now and then hacked. I think about migrating it to Wordpress. There exists a plug https://wordpress.org/plugins/joomla-to-wordpress-migrator/ Who has used it? What the results were? Did it mess up categories?
Guess what I've used it last year. It did the job to transfer all articles, the problem was the structure, it got all messed up. but it does transfer your stuff, if you want to take a shot, backup everything.
thanks for replying, bluemuse! how did you do the whole procedure? -- backup all the files via FTP and backup the database? did you have to go into any coding files to fix the mess-up?
Yes backup your mambo website for full, then try the migration. Like I said it was one year ago, first I had some time out errors, so make sure that your php.ini has the time correct to do the job at once. I had maybe 25000 articles, and that was a headache. All articles were posted in wrong cats, so I had to fix those articles one by one, it took a couple of months to finish the job
Wow, that must have been whole lot of work I think about trying to split the process in two parts: 1. Update mambo to Joomla. correct mistakes there, 2. migrate joomla to wordpress. don't know if it's good idea, but I wonna give it a try
