Wordpress API Content Migration

This Acorn package provides Artisan commands to migrate a WP site's content using the WP REST API.

Installation

You can install this package with Composer:

composer require istogram/wp-api-content-migration

You can publish the config file with:

wp acorn vendor:publish --provider="istogram\WpApiContentMigration\Providers\ContentMigrationServiceProvider"

Configuration

Allow SVG media uploads

If you want to allow SVG media uploads you will need to set the config option:

'allow_svg_media' => true

Usage

To migrate WP content from a WP site, using the WP REST API, to the local site use this command replacing {domain} with the domain of the Live WP site :

wp acorn migrate:content {domain}

When no options are applied, the command will proceed step by step, asking for confirmation before each step is applied.

If you want to clear the current taxonomies, media, posts and pages of the local site you may use this option :

wp acorn migrate:content {domain} --clear-all

You may also use this option if you want to migrate all WP content without confirmations :

wp acorn migrate:content {domain} --clear-all --migrate-all

Please be aware that if you choose to clear any of the existing taxonomies, media, posts or pages this will delete entirely all the relevant content from the local site DB. This action is irreversible, so it's safer to have a DB backup first.
