Can it be done?

Hi i have a html site that shows videos, however i want to change it to wordpress.. i have installed a theme and need to know if i can import the database easy from the html site to show the videos on my wordpress site saving hours of adding them manually any help would be great thanks

 

Html sites don't typically have a database so it depends on how things are stored. I have seen a few plugins that will grab/import a folder of stuff but it becomes a tad problematic to associates titles and descriptions etc.

Its doable, would have to take a look at a few things to advise you accordingly though.

Open your html site with browser and copy one by one article to your wordpress site.

 

would need to see an example of your original database

 

there is many ways to do this but first need to see current and target site to give you more suggestion other than that it's blind suggestion

 

You can grab the content of the url into a variable and then use domxpath to query it and loop it into an array.
