Exporting a Pixelpost Blog

[cowlishaw]

Okay folks, I admit, I want to export my photoblog over to Wordpress. I like Pixelpost but I am feeling a little frustrated after not being able to use my blog on another platform because I have no way to migrate it with an import/export function... actually Pixelpost needs more of an exit/export function so that people can export their content over to Movable Type or Wordpress. It's frustrating that nothing exists in the PP framework for this basic need (at least for major blogging platforms like MT or WP). That said, I have tried for days to no avail, trying to find a way to export my blog.

I found this site where this guy successfully migrated his site from PP:
http://shiftingpixel.com/2006/05/21/...now-wordpress/

And the script he used is here:
http://shiftingpixel.com/downloads/w...ost_import.zip

Now, I have been unsuccessful in getting this script to work properly and I get the following errors every time I try to work with it:

"Warning: copy(../images/20061016164008_waterfall1.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/talking1/public_html/wpimport/wp-admin/import/pixelpost.php on line 298

Warning: getimagesize(/home2/talking1/public_html/wpimport/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/waterfall1.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/talking1/public_html/wpimport/wp-admin/import/pixelpost.php on line 313"


I've tried past versions of WP with no luck either. Maybe someone here may be able to steer me in the right direction!?

What I want to do is try a Wordpress Photoblog and see if I like it for a few months but I cannot because of this debilitating dilemma that is festering and any help is appreciated! I may even barter with someone if they are willing to pull this off for me!?

Thanks,
Nathan Cowlishaw

I have developed a solution to migrate the posts, comments, tags, categories and images to WordPress.

Seems to be a great solution...
But it seems there is compulsory donation required..
while 10 USD may not be significant amount in west. In poorer countries it could be a large sum.

Is it avaiable otherwise too ?

To pixelkeeda,

You failed to mention that the donation does not go to the developer, it goes to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). I guess if people in poorer countries can afford a camera, webhosting and internet then they can afford to make a small donation to people whose lives have been overtaken by a disease.

I would like to thank the 143 people who have made the donation and have been able to migrate from PixelPost to Wordpress.
