Five hints to save time during your migration from WordPress.
|
|
|
|
Its finally happening. I'm moving this blog from WordPress to Pelican.
|
|
This task has persisted on my TODO list for over two years.
|
|
|
|
During the process of the move, I'm going to use this post to dump hints:
|
|
|
|
.. contents:: Hints:
|
|
|
|
|
|
WordPress XML to JSON
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
I wrote `this tool to convert Wordpress XML dumps to JSON <https://github.com/russellballestrini/wordpress-xml-to-json>`_.
|
|
The tool is opinionated and removes lots of data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pelican-import
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
A tool to convert WordPress .xml into .rst or .md files (ReStructuredText or MarkDown) is
|
|
`pelican-import <http://docs.getpelican.com/en/latest/importer.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
I suggest checking it out, even if you do not plan to use Pelican as your static site generator.
|
|
|
|
Add date to post filenames
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
After using `pelican-import <http://docs.getpelican.com/en/latest/importer.html>`_ I had about 150 `.rst` files and I decided to put the date in the filename, so I wrote this short bash script tool to do the renames:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
files=`ls *.rst`
|
|
|
|
for file in $files:
|
|
do
|
|
the_date=`grep ':date:' "$file" | awk '{ print $2; }'`
|
|
mv "$file" "$the_date-$file"
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
Alter category to tags
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
category and tags have different meanings and assumptions between wordpress and pelican. As a result I decided to change all my categories to tags using this command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sed -i'' -e 's/:category:/:tags:/g' *.rst
|
|
|
|
Alter attachment and image paths
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
fix paths to images / uploads to remove wp-content:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sed -i'' -e 's/\/wp-content//g' *.rst
|
|
