Export your WordPress in "Tools" → "Export" → "All Content" in your dashboard.

Execute the following command after installed. source is the file path or URL of WordPress export file.

$ hexo migrate wordpress <source> [--options]

• alias: Populates the alias setting in the front-matter, for use with the hexo-generator-alias module. This is useful for generating redirects.
• limit: Maximum number of posts to import from the input file. All posts are imported by default.
  • Example:

  $ hexo migrate wordpress /path/export.xml --limit 3

  • This doesn't apply to pages, all pages will be imported.
• skipduplicate: Skip posts with similar title as existing ones.
  • If the input contains a post titled 'Foo Bar' and there is an existing post named 'Foo-Bar.md', then that post will not be migrated.
  • The comparison is case-insensitive; a post titled 'FOO BAR' will be skipped if 'foo-bar.md' exists.
  • Without this option (default), this plugin will continue to migrate that post and create a post named 'Foo-Bar-1.md'
• import-image: Download all image attachments from your Wordpress.
  • Downloaded images will be saved based on the original directories.
    • Example: http://yourwordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/image.jpg => source/2020/07/image.jpg => http://yourhexo.com/2020/07/image.jpg.
    • Image embed link will be automatically replaced with a new path.
      • Example: ![title](http://yourwordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/image.jpg) => ![title](/2020/07/image.jpg)
  • If post_asset_folder is enabled before migration, images will be saved according to their associated post.
    • Example: http://yourwordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/image.jpg is associated with http://yourwordpress.com/2020/07/04/foo-post/ post.
    • http://yourwordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/image.jpg => source/_posts/foo-post/image.jpg => http://yourhexo.com/2020/07/04/foo-post/image.jpg.

    • Note that the images are only valid when viewing individual post, not in index page. If you prefer to have them viewable on the index page too and you are using hexo-renderer-marked 3.1.0+, enables the postAsset: option.
  • Limited to JPEG, PNG, GIF and WebP images only.
