This page describes the process to migrate content from WordPress into Tiki and then convert the imported content to Tiki-Flavored Markdown.

Export a WordPress XML / WXR file from the WordPress admin interface.

In WordPress:
- Go to Tools > Export
- Choose the content to export
- Download the XML file

Use the Tiki WordPress importer.

See:
https://doc.tiki.org/WordPress-importer

Recommended first test:
- Import without attachments
- Confirm pages and posts are created
- Then retry with attachments enabled

Known things to check:
- Long site titles used as file gallery names
- Large attachment imports
- Failed remote attachment downloads

After import, review:
- wiki pages
- blog posts
- categories
- images and attachments
- internal links
- WordPress shortcodes
- HTML blocks
- hidden comments
- tables and lists

Once the content is imported into Tiki, convert the wiki pages from Tiki syntax to Markdown.

See:
https://doc.tiki.org/Converting-from-Tiki-syntax-to-Markdown

From the command line, conversion can be tested with:

php console.php markdown:convert --markdown --page="Page name"

To save the converted page:

php console.php markdown:convert --markdown --save --page="Page name"

Important: use --save only after reviewing the output, because it overwrites the page content.

After conversion, check especially:
- external links
- internal links
- images
- file attachments
- headings
- tables
- HTML blocks
- plugins
- WordPress shortcodes
- hidden comments such as ~hc~

Some content may need manual cleanup after automatic conversion.

Recommended workflow:
- Import a small WordPress export first
- Convert a few pages manually or with dry-run command
- Review the output
- Fix blockers
- Then repeat with the full site export
