WordPress import

WordPress import reads a standard WXR/XML export and writes selected posts and pages into an author space. It has no public routes.

Authors can import into their own space. Superadmins can choose another author space. The importer creates a preview before writing content and reports statuses, duplicate paths, page parents, media matches, unresolved uploads, and preserved shortcodes.

Browser imports run in resumable batches. For large exports, use the wordpress-import CLI command. Existing tinymash entries are not silently overwritten.

Recognized WordPress menus can be mapped to the site Primary and Footer locations when menu import is selected. This changes site-level navigation even though the content goes into an author space, so review the menus after import.

WordPress users, comments, widgets, themes, and general settings are not imported. Unknown shortcodes remain literal content unless tinymash has a safe mapping.

See Importing from WordPress for preparation, commands, media handling, replacement options, and verification.
