Exporting the post data from WordPress

First, export your post data from WordPress. The steps are outlined below. You can also find more information at WordPress Support: Export Your WordPress.com Site.

In the side menu of your WordPress dashboard, click [Tools] -> [Export].

Post contents

On the Export Content page, under "Export content", click [Export all].

A download link will be generated. Click [Download] to download the content data in XML format.
The content will be downloaded in a ZIP file.

Media files

Then, under "Export media library", click [Download] to download the media library as a TAR file.

This completes the data export from WordPress.

Preparing a Kuroco content structure for the import

Next, create a content structure in Kuroco to import the WordPress data.

In Kuroco's sidebar menu, select [Content structure].

In the upper right corner of the Content structure list screen, click [Add].

Set up your new content structure as follows:

Field	Value
Name	(Enter a name for the content structure.)
Content input method	Select "WYSIWYG".

Keep the default settings for all other fields. When you are done, click [Add] at the bottom of the screen.

Importing the data into Kuroco

Now you are ready to import the WordPress post data into Kuroco.

In Kuroco's sidebar menu, select [External system integration] -> [WordPress].

On the WordPress integration screen, make the following selections:

Field	Value
WordPress XMLfile	Select the .xml file exported from WordPress.
WordPress media ZIP file	Select the .tar file exported from WordPress.
Target content	Select the content structure you created above.
Status	Select the desired status (publish/unpublish) for the content.
No value behavior	Select "Ignore".
Content category	Select "Import category from WordPress XML".

Verifying the import

To view the list of imported post titles, select [Content] in the sidebar menu and select the name of the content structure.

Check the content category list to make sure that the categories have been imported correctly.

Finally, open the File manager. You should see the imported media files in the WordPress directory.

caution

Currently, categories and content cannot be imported at the same time. If only categories were imported, please try importing again using the same XML file.
