Hi, I need to migrate a client's blog data from CMSB to Wordpress.

Is it possible?

If it is, how can this be done? Could it be done by the paid support?

Thank you,

Hiroko

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
