Cutenews to Wordpress

[avstu]

Im looking for something that can help me intergrate all my old news/archives from my cutenews system to Wordpress.

I am running the latest version of wordpress (downloaded yesterday).

I did find one hack but it didnt work, as it only copied the short story section from cutenews and not the whole story.

So any help will be grateful.

I had to do this a few years ago when I moved one of my sites from Cutenews to WordPress; whichever Cutenews version it was prior to 1.4 (before it came with the 'Provided by Cutenews' message) and hopefully the way the content is saved hasn't changed too much from the original text file based format?

What worked best for me at the time was to simply use Excel and divide all the content into the cells, organise it in a format suitable for WordPress, and then save the file as a .csv, which could then be uploaded via the WordPress standard importer.

However - and you may have come across this already - I have since read about a Cutenews to WordPress plugin. The latest discussion about it seems to be here:

where someone has posted it has worked for 2.8.2. It might be worth taking a look and save you the hours needed with Excel.

This seems to be the most helpful but when it comes to MYSQL im totaly clueless. Would anyone be able to help me out with this?

@avstu: I'm guessing the plugin didn't quite work out. If it's Avillafan.com that you're trying to migrate over, I think you can definitely skip out the part relating to comments in the link you've mentioned above.

So any ideas how i can actually get this done? If someone is willing to do this for me for a small fee i would be happy to pay.

Does your Cutenews site have an RSS feed? Could try that import method.

[conorp]

How many Cutenews posts do you have? I could have a look at it if you want?

Theres about 300+ i would say. Yes i do have a rss feed, how would that work?
