Migrate from Wordpress without pain!

Huge community is migrating from Wordpress to Gatsby, especially developers. In order to migrate with ease and out of my pain I created this tool.

With `gatsby-wordpress-migrate` you can convert all your wordpress posts to gatsby-blog compatible in a fraction of a command.

## 🚀 Quick start

**Install** this package globally or to your project with npm or yarn.

```sh

# Install gatsby-wordpress-migrate globally with yarn

yarn global add gatsby-wordpress-migrate

```

or

```sh

# Install gatsby-wordpress-migrate locally with yarn and make it a dev dependency

yarn add -D gatsby-wordpress-migrate

```

**Heads up**. To download all the Wordpress posts of yours, login to your Wordpress dashboard, go to `Tools > Export` and then download export file with your posts.

**Tip:**

Add this code at the end of the functions.php (on wordpress, go to Appearance > Editor > functions.php) of your wordpress theme to export the `
` tags so we'll be able to make your text breath (otherwise they are not exported and we won't be able to say when paragraphs start/end) ;)

```php

function codelight_content_export($content) {

 return wpautop($content);

}

add_filter('the_content_export', 'codelight_content_export', 999);

```




**Run** the CLI commands `wordpress2gatsby` and let it guide you **or** run it with the following syntax.

```sh

wordpress2gatsby  

# Example: wordpress2gatsby wordpressdata.xml content/blog

```
