Hello, I had a directory using Phpld, unfortunately it went down as the people at Phpld could not help me reinstate it. I have now decided to use Wordpress as the CMS and use the Opendirectory plugin to set up a directory under it. I would appreciate if anyone can guide me to import the data from the Phpld directory database to the Wrodpress database. The database is big with almost 90,000 links + couple thousand articles and I would get about 15,000 uniques per month so I do not want to disappoint the visitors.
If you still need help with phpLD, let me know what happened. Normally it takes us about 1.5 hours of work to import from another script to phpLD, so the opposite would be true assuming the programmer you are working with is knowledgeable about Wordpress. I don't think this is something easily done without pretty good database skills and knowledge of the software product being imported to, but it is not a big task for a good programmer.
Hi thanks - would appreciate help especially if its someone from Phpld itself I haven't managed to do anything especially since I am not too good at programming, this is a Alexa 46k, PR4 site going to the dogs, just trying to keep it going. Where do I start?
