There are a ton of stories out on the web that talk about WordPress but some of the most interesting stories consists of large websites that contain thousands of articles that describe their process from switching from their previous content management system to WordPress. The Fairfield Mirror previously used a system called College Publisher. After spending a few weeks with it, Joseph Cefoli decided that it wouldn’t be the best tool for the job. After spending time checking out all of the different alternatives, the decision to use WordPress was made. The site uses a revamped version of the Gazette Edition theme developed by WooThemes. The switch included over 7,000+ articles which were manually sorted through to ensure a smooth transition.

This past weekend, I finally had the chance to unveil the new blog design for Jeffro2pt0.com. Because of the new design, I figured it would be a good time to reformat my WordPress installation similar to how you would reformat a PC to place a new installation of Windows on it. This gave me the opportunity to use the built in WordPress Export/Import migration tools. WordPress eXtended RSS: Because I didn’t want the trash in my current WordPress database to be inserted into the new database, I chose to export my content via WordPress into an WXR File. WXR stands for WordPress eXtended RSS. This WXR file will contain your posts, pages, comments, custom fields and categories. Even though it’s not officially listed as exporting your tags into the WXR file, the tags ARE included. In my case, I was exporting my content from a WordPress install that was at […]
