Hi Hiroko, 

Apologies for the delay in responding.   Yes, it's possible, and we've done it before.  

What's involved is exporting the data from CMS Builder, converting it to a format WordPress understands, then importing it into WordPress.

If it's only blog data, you could try the CSV export plugin for CMSB, and then see if there is a CSV import plugin for Wordpress.

Otherwise, it's just a process of mapping the data from one database structure to the other.

And yes we can take it on as a project if needed.  Generally, you want to look at the number of records and compare the cost of having someone do data entry vs having a custom export/import script made and choose the lower-cost option.

Hope that helps, let me know any questions.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the reply.

I was able to export the blog data from CMSB, so will try looking for a CSV plugin.

>Otherwise, it's just a process of mapping the data from one database structure to the other.

Ok, I understant. 

If I can't import the data correctly with the WP plugin, I will ask for help here.

Thanks!

Hiroko
