postnuke to wordpress converter

  • Hi,
    So, I just recently switched my website from postnuke over to WordPress. As part of the process, I wrote a simple PHP script to convert all of the entries from the postnuke site over to WordPress. Although postnuke is a pretty heavy-duty CMS, there might be a few people out there who will make the same switch, so I decided to clean up the script a little and post it on the site for anyone who needs it. You can get it here. I put it under the GPL, so you can probably use it with no worries. If you do use it, send me an email or post a comment or something. I should add that it would be generous to say that I’m a novice at PHP. I’m sure there’s plenty I did wrong writing the script, but it works (for me), and that was enough.

    Erg… that’ll teach me to paste relative links! It’s actually available here ??

    going to test this sweet stuff !

    I have two questions here for you,
    1- Why anyone wants to convert post nuck to wordpress? ( post nuck has way more ability and much more scurethen wordpress)
    2- Lets say some one wants to do that by converting you mean transfering the news? or Whole thing like admin functions and Templates?

    1- for sure postnuke is more secured but sometimes simplicity is the best solution so people may choose wordpress

    2- most important part is converting user accounts i think..

    post nuke secure? since when?

    at least more secured than phpnuke, true?

    Hi, I’m trying to use this converter, and it doesn’t appear to work. I’m working from a fresh WP database. The script adds categories correctly, but doesn’t seem to add the posts. I get a display of all my PostNuke stories, with the phrase “Just inserted ID” interspersed. But the destination wp_posts table is unaltered. Also unaltered is wp_comments, wp_postmeta, and wp_comments. The only tables that seem to have things added are wp_post2cat and wp_categories.

    Obviously, I’m using wp_ as a prefix here.

    i was wondering does anyone still have that converter?

    The script adds categories correctly, but doesn’t seem to add the posts.

    This is happening to me, too. ?? Anyone have an idea how this can be fixed?

    Or…is there a way to just import a tab-delimited text file into WP?
