   How is the current existing WordPress site affected by the import of Joomla data? Do photos transfer over without premium?
   Does having a copy of the imported data live on another domain affect SEO?

   Thanks so much WPBegginner you guys have been so great!!

   Hello,

   great stuff shown here.

   I have a question. Is it possible to somehow « migrate » from joomla to wordpress if the joomla version is no longer online? I have everything stored locally.

   Thanks

     Yes, there might be a few hiccups but its possible. Try to import your old joomla site into a WordPress installed locally first.

   Hey WPBeginner thanks for a great article!

   I plan on moving my site from Joomla to WP but most pages on the Joomla site has a .html extension on the end of the URL.

   From my research it seems that it’s hard or not possible for WordPress pages to have .html extensions, only posts.

   Is there a way around this or should I just migrate the content and create the pages without the .html extension on the URL? I’m scared this will effect rankings and will take some time to get indexed by Google.

   Regards
   Josh

    thanks for the article…I have, on the Joomla site, a customized theme/template…(home page)…Not sure of the correct term…I am assuming that I have to select or create a WP theme on the fresh WP site and that the import process will fit what it can and that I will have to make « adjustments » to get it all into WP?
    Is there a particular step to prepare for receiving content that was in the customized theme on Joomla? Ta

      WordPress comes with a couple default themes pre-installed. The latest of the default themes will be automatically activated on your site when you install WordPress. You can import content from your Joomla site and then adjust or change your WordPress theme.

    This looks great!

    Was wondering if by importing the Joomla site, if it erases all the data from the Joomla site.

    For instance,

    I would like to create a copy of the joomla site on a test Wordpress domain and edit it. Once the site is ready to replace the original Joomla site, then I would point it to the Wordpress site.

    Would this be possible with this method?

    Thank you!

    Again, might be a silly question but I am new-ish to WP. I have my site all migrated and set up with content (mostly) as I want it for now. Moved my old joomla site to a protected folder on the same server just in case I should ever need to refer to it again.

    Now my plugin manager keeps bugging me that there is a new version of the Joomla to Wordpress available. But I shouldn’t need that, right? I’m all done with it. Can I delete the plugin without messing with the data it migrated for me?

    Hi,

    I read in the previous comments that it’s better to have a new database when migrating on the same server. But what does it mean? If my host only provide me with one database, I’ll buy another and when I install wordpress in a new directory I give the details of the new database and when migrating joomla I give the joomla database code in the plugin. Thoses database are completely independent aren’t they? Then I move up the wordpress directory at the root and I’m done? All my content will have gone on my new database won’t it?

    By doing that, assuming I have kept the same domain name, I guess only my wordpress site will be live, but what about the old links that are still visible on google? Don’t I risk a duplicate content and be blacklisted? i’m a bit confused..
    Thanks !

      Yes you can and you should first import everything in WordPress. If you deleted your Joomla site before starting then you will not be able to import anything.

    Can you please clarify this

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you have joomla installed on the location where you would want to install WordPress then the best way to go is to create a new directory and then install WordPress in that directory. Once you have successfully migrated your Joomla site you can change your Domain’s settings to point to to the directory where WordPress is installed.

    Problem
    One of our client want to purchase a WordPress theme and do a fresh installation on server ! (This can be done easliy)
    but the old website is working with joomla and it has around 8 other websites running on its « subfolder »
    eg : http://www.example.com ( main web) , http://www.example.com/abcd, http://www.example.com/1234 etc
    all web is working on joomla.

    This is sort of redirection done !

    My task
    I have to install and develop the main web ,and connect the other webs as it is

    how to reconnect the sub installations on WordPress ?

    eg : http://www.example.com ( will run on wordpress ) but can’t change the subdomains which is running on joomla

    it should work as http://www.example.com/abcd even after the installation

    What hosting people told me
    They said, i can’t do this because different platforms , but there should be a solution right ?

    Hi, Thanks for the article it was great,
    I just have a question, maybe is obvious, but you didn’t mention if this IMPORT, do not ERASE all that information from your actual Joomla site? Because I has been working on a Wordpress Demo page, and I don’t want to erase anything from my original Joomla site… just make a copy of the content and images…

    Thank you for the article!, but i wanted to know how would we convert the theme from joomla to wordpress, we want to keep the design as well including navigation, sidebar, content each and everything. Basically it will look like the same website but with a different CMS in the background.

    Can you suggest us something with this regard?

    Répondre

    • Jack Cola

      Keeping your theme the same theme will be harder, as they is no way to convert it. You will need to contact the theme developer to see if they offer the same theme on Wordpress.

      I know programs such as Artisteer allow you to export the same theme from Wordpress and Joomla, so if your theme was built using that program, just export the Wordpress version.

    I have just completed moving my website from Joomla to Wordpress. I problably spent 30+ hours getting it perfect, testing, ensuring there are no 404 errors.

    Problems I found were:
    -Needed to perform the migration on a local host to ensure as the URL structure would stuff up.
    -Image redirects will result in 404 errors (which I manually had to change – only effects those -images ranking high on Google Image or those evil hot linkers.
    -Comments needed to be migrated

      Hi Jack
      How did you migrate the comments over? I did my site a few years back and didn’t manage to migrate the comments but now I have to do our corporate intranet and it’s important that the comments get moved over too.

    Another error you may get into is regarding the database. If your sites are on different hosts you may have problems connecting to Joomla database and you won’t be able to complete the process.
