    Like my topic says, does someone here know anything about it, on how to do it?
    I want to convert all the news items from php-nuke to wordpress, and if possible also the users.

    :p

    You can try the Import tool in WordPress, where RSS option is available. Use that to import the file you downloaded from within PHP-nuke admin panel (you should have it in .xml format).

    Other than that, phpnuke full conversion to WordPress would not be a straight forward task since we are talking about 2 scripts that are intended for different purposes. One is a blog, the other is a portal script. You will likely not be able to match the two, functionality wise.

    i know we're talking about two different scripts here, but all i wanted to convert actually is the news part.
    uptill now, the only way i know how to do it, is by copy pasting all the news items into the new one, by setting the exact date.
    this way i loose all the comments, and i dont know how to keep my users, they would have to register again, and i dont want that.

    soo.........does anyone here ever converted a php-nuke site to wordpress? please reply on this topic.

    a friend of mine has converted his phpnuke to wp using this script:
    www . csamuel.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/pnconvert.txt

    it is for postnuke, but you just change the name of the tables and you will get crazy after look to your new wp blog :)

    I think you'll have to convert the PHP-Nuke to PostNuke first and then use the link Hernan has posted. Still not a fool proof plan.

    if all you're wanting to convert is your news then use the built in rss importer

    I think the best way to convert PHP-Nuke to WordPress is gConverter.com, I've also searched for other solutions but there isn't any, by now, gConverter is a professional service who is converting 64 different CMS, included PHP-Nuke to WordPress.
