Wordpress Importer

Very handy - I have used this to convert WordPress blogs and shops for several clients. It does a great job of importing pages and blogs. All it needs to make it perfect is to have a 'convert to product' options. At the moment they convert as pages, which is helpful but not optimal.

Only imported posts until October 0f 2012. Nothing from then until today. I get the error: Failed. Response code = 404. It imports 2 posts, then stops. Piece of crap, support is terrible. Canceled it tried again.... now it only imports ONE post.

Deleted everything - started over - fails on first post.

DO NOT expect it to work....

I have got one blog to transfer fine.. I've been trying to contact support for a few days now... I am trying to get a second blog to transfer and even uninstalling the software and reinstalling it isn't clearing the previous install. I'd like to get the other blog on quickly without having to manually transfer it.. Eeep! Hopefully I'll get help soon.. This is an issue.

@mylittleblackbird You'll need Blogfeeder ($6/mo) to automatically update your website with each new entry into your blog. The Importer did not work for me. It invited thousands of spam comments and it imported the comments after I selected "just articles". I tried twice. Hope this is fixed.

Do you need to import each time you write a new post on wordpress or it does it automatically once we installed the app?

Continue to get "500 => Net::HTTPInternalServerError"

WON'T IMPORT! Won't answer my email for support.

Does importing your WP blog to Shopify keep the original blogs' URLs though?

Update.

I am how using the app to import my Wordpress blog into Shopify. All the posts are live and can be found by Search Engines. However the 'real' blog is still over at this address http://picback.com/blog

This way I get the exposure of having post on the store site and the usability of Wordpress.

App currently does not complete Wordpress post import. Error message "500 => Net::HTTPInternalServerError"

This App works well if you don't have too much formatting in your blog posts (I have lots!) but otherwise will do the job well.

For the PicBack site we went a different route. The site is half Wordpress and half Shopify. The home page and blog pages are WP that then forward to the correct Shopify items for sale.

This is a really, really, cool app. Thanks Shopifiers!

Easy to use and simple app.

very, cool app,

While the importer was super-simple to use, it failed to keep the timestamp of the posts as they were imported, so in the end I have 10 year's worth of blogs posts timestamped today. *facepalm*

Super easy, everything done in less than 10min! I haven't done a thorough check but so far, everything looks good. Even my table of product and prices got imported nicely! Well done.

Really liked the application. Made the hard task of moving content from Wordpress to Shopify Easy. Some of the images did not successfully migrate but that was a minor issue.
