WordPress importer is a tool for importing content from your WordPress blog to Vivvo CMS. It can import:
Categories - WordPress importer creates categories if they do not exist in Vivvo system. If a category exists, plug-in will synchronize existing and imported data - it will add articles to existing categories. If an article from WordPress is added to more than one category, importer will assign only one category to this article
Tags - All tags that do not already exist in Vivvo CMS will be imported, and those that already exist will be synchronized.
Articles, Pages and Comments - All articles with comments are imported. WordPress article pages are being imported as Vivvo static pages.
Users - We recommend creating users in Vivvo before you import backup because users are cannot be imported.
All articles, comments and pages will be imported no matter if they already exist in Vivvo.
