One of the most common problems is transferring content, pages and links from other control systems to WordPress in a simple way. It seems that this is not at all an easy task, and it can only be solved by a serious professional in the field of programming, but, in reality, it is not so difficult to maintain the organizational structure of links and a site during its migration.
Necessary
- - HTML site
- - installed CMS WordPress
Instructions
Step 1
Migration should be carried out in various ways in accordance with the control system and in what format the site of interest was created. The most common are sites created on free content management bases, as well as written in HTML, so it makes sense to figure out how to transfer them to the new engine.
Step 2
When working with a site that is a certain set of pages of a static nature, created in HTML, and you need to import it into WordPress, you just need to copy all the HTML codes of these notes and pages manually and paste them into the newly installed WordPress system into the corresponding pages and notes. With a small site size, this solution to this problem is optimal.
Step 3
In some situations, it may happen that directly inserting HTML code into the WordPress system will lead to numerous crashes and system errors. Therefore, it is advisable to apply custom styles in the form of style templates and work with tables in order to ensure the correctness of the transfer of the resource.
Step 4
When following the instructions on how to migrate a WordPress site from HTML, you may need additional services. If the source site has a very large number of static pages, then you need to import content using a special plugin, but not all, but only selected pages.
Step 5
There is a handy free HTML Import 2 plugin that can help you migrate your HTML site to the WordPress system. It will allow you to transfer and save the old content, taking into account all the formatting, but still the plugin has problems with rebuilding to the new system and maintaining the new design of the old notes.
Step 6
You can migrate your existing HTML site by modifying its base theme (Twenty Twelve) for the new system. Services such as Theme Matcher will help you translate an existing design into a new theme. In this case, importing to WordPress will help update the design instead of keeping the old style on the new system.
