Mass Addition Of Posts From A Custom DB

  • Howdy. I trying to take stories from a custom built php news app and input them into WordPress. Each story has an author, date, title, “body”, and a photo to go with the article. I’m trying to get these into WordPress, but don’t want to do over 2000 by hand! Anyone know of a tool or plugin that might be able to do any importing or mass adding of posts?

  • I recommend that you import them using the import-mt.php and a REALLY good multiple line search and replace TEXT editor. There is more information here:

    Thanks Lorelle, I’ll give it a try within the next week or so, then I’ll come back and post a report (in case anyone else needs to import from a custom DB).

    Just wanted to say it worked – anyone using a custom DB to import into wordpress should read the link above. It really helps (I basically just used a php script that converted the DB posts into a big text file, whcih then i imported into WP).

    Thanks.
