How to Convert WordPress to MediaWiki





Export WordPress Content
1. Go to your site's WordPress administration panel and sign into your account. For example, if your website's domain was 'yourdomain.com,' then the administration area is normally located at 'yourdomain.com/wp-admin/.'
2. Scroll down to the bottom left side of the administration dashboard, go to the 'Tools' section and click the 'Export' link.

3. Click the radio button for 'Posts' and click the 'Download Export File' button. WordPress creates a XML file that you can import to MediaWiki. It should automatically download to your computer wherever the browser normally saves downloaded files.
Import WordPress Content
4. Upload the WordPress XML dump file to your hosting account, preferably into the same directory as your MediaWiki installation.
5. Access your MediaWiki hosting account via a shell terminal. Enter the username and password to gain shell access.
6. Type 'php importDump.php wordpress.xml' at the terminal's command prompt.
7. Replace the actual file name of your WordPress XML dump file for the 'wordpress.xml' value in the command above.
8. Press the 'Enter' key to begin the import process. It may take several minutes and even longer if you have hundreds to thousands of records to import. Once it completes, you've successfully imported your WordPress content to MediaWiki.
