This Bolt Extension is an Import filter for WXR files, as created by Wordpress or PivotX.

How to use this extension, in a few simple steps:

1. Acquire a .wxr file, and place it in the folder app/config/extensions/importwxr.
2. In the Bolt backend, go to 'Extras' > 'Import WXR'.
3. Follow the steps on screen.
4. Tweak the configuration file, if needed. It can be found at app/config/extensions/importwxr.bolt.yml, or using the 'Configure Extensions' option in the backend of Bolt.
5. Repeat until satisfied with the results.

Note: After importing, scroll down to check if the script completed. If categories were found in the .wxr-file, the script will tell you which should be added to your taxonomy.yml-file.

If you're importing a .wxr file that was generated by a recent version of Wordpress, the 'mapping' as defined in the importwxr.bolt.ymlconfiguration should be good as-is. You might need to make a few modifications to your contenttypes.yml, to make sure all fields are present. See the example below, for a working example.

If you already have set up your own contenttypes, just make sure of the following:

• The fields teaser and body need to be present in your pages and entries contenttypes.
• Make sure the taxonomy is present, otherwise the extension will not import your existing categories and tags.
• Add the attachments contenttype, if you want to import the attachments from Wordpress.
