migrate from multiply to wordpress.com


bismillah..

just gave some hand to someone to get her blog imported from multiply to wordpress.com

The process is divided into five steps:

1. Generate RSS feed files from the multiply blog. One page at a time using feed43 web apps. In my case, the url will be

http://havban.multiply.com/journal/

Follow instruction as listed here..

http://feed43.com/step-by-step.html

The patterns I used are :

  • Global pattern : <body{*}>{%}</body>
  • Search pattern :
    <div id="item_havban:journal:{*}>{*}<a rel='bookmark' href='{%}'>{%}</a>{*}<nobr>{%}</nobr>{*}<div id="item_body"{*}>{%}</div><div style='clear:both'><!-- --></div>

2. Install wordpress in you own server. Download the package from the wordpress.org . This package will allow importing RSS file.

3. Import the generated RSS files for each pages from the journal into your own server’s wordpress. Before doing it, review your files and do some deletion and replace of some terms:

  • removal of “<![CDATA” and “feed43” footnote on each post
  • removal of “&nbsp;” from every file, since it will disrupt an import of a post, truncate it into small post.

4. Export WXR file from your server’s wordpress into a file. The file format generated usually .xml

5. Import again the WXR into your wordpress.com blog through menu import->blogli . It will import the whole blog into your wordpress blog.

Finally.. after all those steps.. do some checking on your content, may something was missing. If it was too many, just have faith everything is okay.. 😛

GREAT NEWS…!!! 😀

anyway.. this is the link to automate all those steps..

what you just need to do is import the gerated xml file to your wordpress.com site..

enjoy… 😉

    kurang detil langkahnya mas..
    pertama,
    generate setiap postnya one by one ya?
    gimana lihat patternnya yang global search & item (repeatable) searchnya?
    thanks alot for your kindness yahh….

    • #6 by havban on February 7, 2011 - 6:57 pm

      jadi.. patternnya udah ketauan.. tinggal dimasukin ke parameter aja.

      nanti generate post-nya per halaman di multiply journal, dan satu halaman sekitar 10-20 post.

      patter yg global dan per item sudah saya tampilkan di atas… sudah dicobakah?

      kalau mau detil.. boleh japri ke email saya.. i’m glad to help… 🙂

    poin no 2 aku ga ngerti. Download package apa di wordpress?

    • #12 by havban on April 9, 2012 - 11:53 pm

      hi,

      langkah 1 sampai dengan 4 sudah bisa diganti dengan aplikasi dari: http://febiansyah.name/apps/rssgen/multiply.php
      isi dengan alamat multiply lengkap dengan “http://”
      misal: “http://havban.multiply.com” , ganti “havban” dengan username multiply anda.

      tinggal langkah ke-5:
      Import again the WXR into your wordpress.com blog through menu import->blogli . It will import the whole blog into your wordpress blog.

      dengan kata lain, import file “xml” yang baru di-download dari aplikasi di atas.

      semoga membantu.
