Take your time and browse around, it would help if you could contribute a little, post, topics, posts, entries for the t3 faq, t3 classifieds and the events.

There are many ways to do that. You can wake up one day and say screw my old site move on and leave everything behind including your precious content. That’s probably the easiest way to do it. In my case study i decided to leave behind the forums, the ratings, the downloads, and some other areas which were pretty much useless to me. But i wanted to bring into the new site all the user base, the pages with the categories and all the comments.

The biggest problem in opinion are the pages, you can easily import the text from seditio. The hard part is to import personal file space. I decided not to involve with that, after all my site had only 70 pages, no big deal but some other people might not be able to do that. For me with my 70 pages i needed 3-4 hours to re-upload images, downloads etc.

The script will import for you:

1. The users, usernames, passwords, website, email, registration date
2. The pages, if you ignore the pfs bbcode everything else works including my geshi highlight hack
3. The only extra from the pages that has been imported are the views, you can later install the plug wp-views. The alias, downloads, ratings, keys, extra fields are gone.
4. The comments, not much to say here except that all bbcodes are stripped
5. The categories, everything except the hierarchy will be imported with no problem.

Requirements – How To Use

1. Minimum php4, mysql 4
2. All versions of seditio should work, but only v121 was tested.
3. It has been tested only for WordPress 2.5
4. You must use the same database as seditio when you install the wordpress.
5. Upload the file seditio.php to the wp-admin/import
6. Through the Dashboard navigate to Manges -> Import and select from seditio
7. During the first step you must specify the table prefix for your seditio installation e.g. sed_
8. Moreover you must specify the user id of the first admin of your seditio site e.g. 1 Unless you want your new wp Admin Account to loose the registration date and the ownership of your seditio pages.
9. Follow the next buttons and in 4-5 clicks and you are done.
10. I have no idea how well this importer can do in large sites but in my case the whole procedure with 350 users 70 pages 20 categories and 65 comments finished in 10 secs.

If you are ok with all that you can give it a go, but I CAN’T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR SITE IS DESTROYED. If you want to try it do it on your localhost, after all i spend only a few hours just to import the absolutely necessary to my needs. Download Seditio To WordPress Importer v0.1

My next problem was how could i save some of my old sections like Sed/LDU Tags HQ and the SED/LDU Files DB. Obviously you must study i can’t say it’s hard to write to plugin for wordpress but for me that i have got used to sedito system the beginning was hard. The wordpress documentation is cool but not super cool for devs. I guess if you want to call yourself a dev you must study yourself. I did my homework LDU Tags HQ , LDU Repository, Seditio Tags HQ, Seditio Repository.
