Importing b2evolution to Wordpress

[Brian Turner]

I love using Wordpress as a CMS - but when I first started experimenting with CMS installs I used b2evolution - simply because of the one-click install from CPanel Fantastico, and I wasn't sure which software platform to use.

Anyway, Wordpress is easily my CMS of choice now - Platinax is built on it (news & blog).

However, what to do about those b2evolution installs?

Mostly they've just been stagnating, but I've been returning periodically to upgrade them to Wordpress.

I've already posted on my blog about converting b2evolution to Wordpress using Farook's plugin, but I've since come across a couple more examples which look good:

b2evolution to Wordpress migration script - just used this - piece of cake - though remember to rename those .php.txt files to .php

How to Import b2evolution Posts to Wordpress - I tried using this, but I couldn't get it to work - however, it seems more targeted at more recent b2evolution versions, and my b2evolution installs were really old - 0.9.10 I think, which is around 2 years old!

Anyway, hopefully this may be of some help to more than just myself.

If it does help, feel free to let me know by posting a reply.
