• Well, it did save a lot of re-typing but…..

    the option “Remove only new imported posts” did not work, (no deletions)
    the option “Import the text above the read more….” did not work, (text went missing)
    many images did not come across (mainly the larger ones), (null image file was created)
    many images were duplicated as a “featured image” above the text.

    Also it seems the plug-in imports as posts or pages but not both (ie pages=>pages and articles=>posts is not possible). Comments become posts or pages.

    None of this is really a big deal for me but could be if you have ‘000s of posts to deal with.

    Thanks for the plug-in, and for maintaining it!

    Thank you for your feedback.

    > many images were duplicated as a “featured image” above the text.
    The ability to import the first post image as the featured image has been added as an option in version 1.12.0. It should solve this problem.

    > the option “Remove only new imported posts” did not work, (no deletions)
    It removes only the posts that were imported with this plugin. If you want to remove all the posts, you must choose the option ?Remove all posts?.

    > the option “Import the text above the read more….” did not work, (text went missing)
    It works. When you choose this option, the text above the ?read more? is imported in the excerpt field. You can see it on the post edit screen using the Screen Options on the top right and checking Excerpt.

    > many images did not come across (mainly the larger ones), (null image file was created)
    Can you give me an example? Do you try to import images larger than the PHP limit?

    I don’t think there are pages on Joomla. There are only articles. Which version of Joomla do you use?

    Thanks for the quick reply and update.
    Featured image problem solved.
    Remove only new posts is working today with 1.12.0. Maybe I didn’t do something right before.
    Excerpts: yes, but shouldn’t the excerpt text also remain in the article(post)? My Joomla articles typically have an image and a paragraph before the read more, both of which should be visible.
    I didn’t know there was a “PHP limit”. The images which didn’t make it were all over 330k file size.
    You are right about pages. I misunderstood how Joomla works.

    5 stars, then.
