What it moves and how it works, on one page: Mishka CMS Migration.
- Install the migration extension Add the mishka_cms_migration package to a Mishka CMS host, set it up on a site and give an admin access to the Migration page.
- Move a WordPress site Start a migration run from a WordPress site or an export file: pick the source, answer the four steps and let the dry run read the site.
- Read a dry run Read a migration dry run: the Runs table, a run's details, its warnings and what to do next, before anything is written to your site.
- Settle what needs your decision Settle the items that need your decision on a run's Items page, in Simple mode by group or in Advanced mode by rule, before you import.
- Work on single items Leave out, bring back, map, decide and import single items of a migration run on its Items page, and see where an item sits in its branch.
- Choose how post addresses move Keep the WordPress addresses of your posts or serve them under /blog, and see how every old address is redirected after the move.
- Set where the Blog's pages and posts list go Set where Mishka Blog's pages and its list of posts go during a migration, read the plan in the dry run, and fix a page that is taken.
