Wordpress Conversion
kilerb
I did a search and there are quite a few posts about moving from WP to GL, and GL to WP... I didn't see any information about how to do this though. I really need someone who has expertise in both Geeklog and Wordpress to help me. I would like to get all of my users moved over. (I have custom registration on my GL site... Username, full name, and Email address.) If someone specializes in doing this, has done it successfully before, or could point me in the right direction of someone who can... I'd greatly appreciate it! I saw this http://www.justdave.net/dave/2007/01/16/geeklog-to-wordpress-converter/ online, but after reading the comments underneath it, it seems that it only works on older versions of GL and WP.
Any help would be appreciated! I have a 2nd challenge as well, but I can discuss that with anyone that thinks they can help with this first one...
Thanks a lot!

Another option, but that would require some programming, would be using Geeklog's AtomPub API.
Keep in mind, though, that both are incomplete solutions. I'm not aware of anything readily available that does a 1:1 conversion or something close to that.

Are either of these options doable? If it is, how can I do it? Thanks a lot! I appreciate your help...

The Forum uses Geeklog's uid to identify users, so you may also need the gl_users table. Be aware, though, that that table contains the user's (obfuscated) password. You should be careful when handing out sensitive data like that.

Hey Dirk... Or anyone else that knows... I got my users over.
Hi kilerb,
as far as I can understand, you made to move your users from Geeklog to Wordpress. Can you tell me how or point me to the place where you found the information to do this?
Many thanks in advance!

Honestly, someone else did it for me... I had someone get my users. I didn't have that many stories to worry about. Just users. This was months ago now and I'm not even sure really. What's your situation? Mostly posts you want to move, or users?

Well, my most important goal is to move users with their passwords and datas. If not possible to move the post I would move them one by one with copy-n-paste and assigning to the proper user.
Anyway, posts are 64 and users are 63.
Many thanks in advance.
