Description
Set up your PixelPost database info, and let it work for a while. It’ll import categories, posts and comments. It leaves a new table in the database, used by the provided index.php (see FAQ) to keep the old link alive, by redirecting them to the new uri.
Imported posts are imported as posts with an “image” format in wordpress, the image attached to the imported post. A “more” separator is inserted between the image and the post content.

Installation

Usage
- in WP admin interface, go to Tools>Importer
- Click on Pixelpost, then set up the PixelPost database settings (in pixelpost.php).

FAQ
-
What exactly are imported ?
-
Categories, Posts, and Comments. Tags are not supported in this version.
-
How can I keep my old PixelPost links?
-
Here is a small hack-ish redirection script, to set where PixelPost’s
index.php
was. Note that this works only if PixelPost and WordPress are installed on the same host. Simply createindex.php
and copy/paste the following script:<?php define('WORDPRESS_LOAD', /* insert here the path to wordpress's wp-load.php */); if( ! isset($wp_did_header) ) { $wp_did_header = true; require_once( WORDPRESS_LOAD ); wp(); } $link = home_url('/'); if( isset( $_GET['showimage']) && class_exists('PP_Importer') ) { $pp_post_id = intval( $_GET['showimage'] ); $pp_importer = new PP_Importer(); $wp_post_id = $pp_importer->get_pp2wp_wp_post_id($pp_post_id); $link = get_permalink( $wp_post_id ); } else if( isset( $_GET['x'] ) ) { switch($_GET['x']) { case 'rss': $link = get_bloginfo('rss2_url'); break; case 'browse': // todo one dayœ break; } } header( "Status: 301 Moved Permanently", false, 301 ); header( "Location: " . $link ); exit();
