Import from Wordpress?

Early last summer, my Contentteller site quit working because the webhost had upgraded PHP.  We had been running various versions of Storyteller/Contentteller for over a decade very satisfactorily.  But when PHP was upgraded ... it broke.

So, not knowing when a compatible version of Contentteller would be released, I bit the bullet and converted the site to (eek!) Wordpress.  I basically just loaded up the database locally and then wrote a Java app for taking the stuff out of the CT database, and putting it into wordpress.  (I've never worked much with PHP.)

Of course, I hate wordpress and love contentteller.  And I see that CT now has new versions, etc.  So I'm considering switching back to CT.

Naturally, in the past year, there has been a bunch of new content on the site.  If push comes to shove, I can always write another converter.  But I am curious if Acquire can just automagically import Wordpress databases already?

Yes, Acquire can import data from WordPress. However, there may be some adjustments necessary if run different content plugins like galleries. Let me know if you encounter any issue with the import.

You may also want to wait a little more after a new major release is coming out later this Summer. The new release will support PHP 8+ and is using the latest  Bootstrap 5 framework.
