The Wordpress Import to GRAV Plugin allows you to import xml posts data, including attachments media files (images eg. JPG, PNG, PDFs, ZIP archives etc.) exported from a WordPress blog into a GRAV blog via a command line interface.
This plugin is for Grav CMS. This is based on grav-plugin-wordpress-import plugin by zacchaeusluke.
Installing the Wordpress to GRAV Import plugin can be done in one of two ways. The GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method enables you to quickly and easily install the plugin with a simple terminal command, while the manual method enables you to do so via a zip file.
At this moment GPM installation for Wordpress Import may or may not be available.
The simplest way to install this plugin should be via the Grav Package Manager (GPM) through your system's terminal (also called the command line).
From the root of your Grav install you should type:
bin/gpm install wordpress-import
This would normally install the Wordpress to GRAV Import plugin into your /user/plugins directory within Grav. Its files should be found under /your/site/grav/user/plugins/wordpress-import.
However at this moment GPM installation for Wordpress to GRAV Import plugin may or may not be available via GPM.
To install this plugin, just download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. IMPORTANT: Folder name of the plugin should be plain wordpress-import (without versioning number, e.g: wordpress-import-1.2). You can find these files on GitHub.
You should now have all the plugin files under
/your/site/grav/user/plugins/wordpress-import
NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which requires Grav and the Error and Problems to operate.
It also requires the PHP extension SimpleXML to be enabled (enabled by default in PHP>=5.1.2).
This plugin is used entirely though the command line.
You will need an exported wordpress xml file. Instructions are available for exporting from Wordpress.com and for wordpress.org.
Additionally you will need to know the Folder Name for your blog into which you would like to import posts. This can be found via the Admin Panel -> Pages -> Your Blog -> Advanced tab -> Folder Name. Or by looking in your grav-install/user/pages folder.
The only command available is import. This should be run from the command line inside your grav root directory.
php bin\plugin wordpress-import import <file> <blog>
