• has anyone ever tried this, or is able to code a migration tool? I need to import my user list from a PHPNuke site into WordPress. Specifically username, pass, and email.

    I’d be willing to pay someone to do it as well. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    If it’s a handful of users, i’d think it easier by hand, if lots then you’d need a custom script.

    See if you get some joy on the jobs list (link above).

    Check out this script in sourceforge – https://migratedata.sourceforge.net/ to start off. you might have to make some minor changes as this is for postnuke to WP, but phpnuke schema is close to postnuke’s so good luck
    P.S. Make sure you backup database first

    Thanks for the tips…

    basically it is a huge job .. 8000+ users so def need a script.

    There are only 3 fields I need to work with, in the PHP-nuke tables they are:

    username
    user_email
    user_password (which is an MD5 hash of course)

    There are, of course, a bunch of other fields but my thought is that these are really the only ones I need. Are there any other fields required to exist for a valid WP user? Just these three are ok?

    Given 8,000 users, you might want to look at the wp_users table to help you set up the script:

    ID
    user_login
    user_pass
    user_nicename
    user_email
    user_url
    user_registered
    user_activation_key
    user_status
    display_name

    Thanks for the hints guys…I don’t need to convert news/posts as badly as I do the users though..

    A different question, I found a Postnuke to WP converter for users and posts.. I need only to convert the users… the fields’ names I can change to the corresponding PHPnuke ones on my own, but I don’t know enough about mysql to know how to chop down this script to make it only do the user creation/importation part:

    Can anyone tell me what to cut out to make it a user import script only (don’t need to import news stories)? Thanks.
