Plugin / HTML Import 2

Stephanie Leary

Description

Imports well-formed static HTML files into WordPress. Requires PHP 5.

This plugin will import a directory of files as either pages or posts. You may specify the HTML tag (e.g. <body>, <div id="content">, or <td width="732">) or Dreamweaver template region (e.g. ‘Main Content’) containing the content you want to import.

If importing pages, the directory hierarchy will be preserved. Directories containing the specified file types will be imported as empty parent pages (or, if an index file is present, its contents will be used for the parent page). Directories that do not contain the specified file types will be ignored.

As files are imported, the resulting IDs, permalinks, and titles will be displayed. On completion, the importer will provide a list of Apache redirects that can be used in your .htaccess file to seamlessly transfer visitors from the old file locations to the new WordPress permalinks. As of 2.0, if you change your permalink structure after you’ve imported your files, you can regenerate the redirects—the file’s old URL is stored as a custom field in the imported post.

Options:

import files into any post type (posts, pages, or custom post types set to public)
import linked media files (images, documents, etc.) to the media library
select content, title, and custom fields by HTML tag or Dreamweaver template region
remove a common phrase (such as the site name) from imported titles
remove the imported title from within the content area
upload a single file or scan a directory for files to import
specify file extensions to import (e.g. html, htm, php)
specify directories to exclude (e.g. images, css)
if importing pages (or any hierarchical post type), specify whether your top-level files should become top-level pages or children of an existing page
specify index file names (e.g. index.html, default.htm) whose contents should be used for the directory parent pages
set tags, categories, and custom taxonomies
choose status, author, and timestamp
use meta descriptions as excerpts
clean up imported HTML and strip unwanted tags and attributes in content and custom fields
fix internal links in imported files to match new permalinks
import the entire file and generate the title from the filename
preserve the original filename as the imported page’s slug
choose the date from an HTML tag or Dreamweaver region (uses strtotime(); results may vary)
import additional HTML tags or Dreamweaver regions as custom fields
option to remove imported title from within content area
fallbacks: if your chosen tag/area is empty or does not exist, the importer will select <body> for content and <title> for the title
use a custom field named ‘post_tag’ to import tags from a portion of the file

See the User Guide for details on all the options.
