Migrating from WordPress

Migrating from WordPress is easy.

1. First export the contents from your WordPress blog using WP Export. You will obtain an XML file.
2. Install b2evolution regularly
3. Once b2evolution is up and running, go to the back-office and use the WordPress XML Importer to import the previously exported XML file.

What can I do with files too big for the XML Importer? Especially for files much bigger than the limits given?

I remember finding something that worked to break up big XML files for import or migration for WordPress. I don’t know if I can find it again, or if it will work for b2evolution.

http://www.rangerpretzel.com/content/view/20/1/ - WordPress WXR File Splitter v1.52

If it works for you add a review - https://alternativeto.net/software/wxr-file-splitter/

Looks like it hasn’t had an update since 2013 but it does work to split the files and I have used it with WordPress and it did work with b2evolution just now.

@thatgrrl thanks for sharing. Just a suggestion, try to send your support requests to the forums instead of here. The ideal case is that you create new posts in the forums, using a descriptive title and linking to the posts of the online Manual that you are referring to.

Regards!
