Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FG Joomla to WordPress

The posts put in trash are not migrated. But unpublished and archived posts are migrated as drafts. Some users reported that the Zend Framework causes an incomplete import. So, if all the data is not migrated, consider deactivating the Zend Framework during the migration. I get the message: "Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found" PDO and PDO_MySQL libraries are needed. You must enable them in php.ini on the WordPress host. Or on Ubuntu: sudo php5enmod pdo sudo service apache2 reload I get this error: PHP Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND' You have to enable PDO_MySQL in php.ini on the WordPress host. That means uncomment the line extension=pdo_mysql.so in php.ini

No, it only reads the Joomla database. I get this error: Erreur !: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1193] Unknown system variable 'NAMES' It comes from MySQL 4.0. It will work if you move your database to MySQL 5.0 before running the migration. I get this error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM" You must use at least PHP 5.3 on your WordPress site. I get this error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] The server requested authentication method unknown to the client It is a compatibility issue with your version of MySQL. You can read this post to fix it: http://forumsarchive.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?id=8667 None image get transferred into the WordPress uploads folder. I'm using Xampp on Windows. Xampp puts the htdocs in the applications folder which is write protected. You need to move the htdocs to a writeable folder.

You can use the Convert Post Types plugin after the migration.

No, you can deactivate or even uninstall the plugin after the migration (for the free version only).

Yes since version 1.45.0. First you must put these lines in wp-config.php: define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); And the messages will be logged to wp-content/debug.log.

The plugin imports the Joomla web links to WordPress links managed by the Link Manager plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-manager/ My screen hangs because of a lot of errors in the log window You can stop the log auto-refresh by unselecting the log auto-refresh checkbox
