    Keep getting error "failed to open stream no such file or directory on line 147 of WPimporter.php" depressing because this used to work, but no longer does.

    Could you fix the 'The slug format is invalid' error?

  • Found the plugin useful on 24 Jan, 2017

    I have fixed all the errors that people have complained about here. I have improved it also by adding a markdown converter which will automatically convert the content from HTML to markdown.

    Since, I don't know where the original repository is for this plugin, I have created one under my own account otherwise I would have submitted an official PR.

    Plugins need some new implementations that are fundamental for importing data from wordpress like comments, please can you implement that feature, it's really necesary!

    Thanks!

    If getting path problem: Go to plugins/klyp/wpimporter/models/Wpimporter.php Change line 149 to $importXmlPath = $importXmlFile->getLocalPath();

    For 'The slug format is invalid' error: Go to line 261 and typecast $wpChildren->post_name to string. Or just copy and paste below code:

    if (!empty((string)$wpChildren->post_name)) { $postBlog->slug = (string)$wpChildren->post_name; } else { $postBlog->slug = Str::slug((string)$item->title);
    }

    Same here, throws an error on import.

  • Found the plugin not useful on 4 Jun, 2016

    Throws an error when importing. Seems to be related to the file path of the uploaded .xml file.
