JConverter

(NOT MAINTAINED - No support or refunds)

JConverter is a Joomla component (3.x) using which you can convert any Wordpress blog into Joomla within minutes. It can import posts, pages, menus, users, categories, comments and even images from Wordpress.

Features

• Joomla 3.x/2.5.x compatible.
• Import users from Wordpress and set a common new password.
  
• Import published posts and pages with categories.
  
• Import menus from Wordpress keeping same hierarchy (NEW)
• Import approved comments (in JComments extension)
  
• Import images from Wordpress
• Support conversion of Wordpress newline feeds into Joomla format. 

What you'll get?

• Instructions file 
• JConverter component installer
  

Limitations

• Since Joomla doesn't support multi-category association for articles, imported posts will be associated with only one category. 
  
• Both Joomla and Wordpress installation (databases) should be on same server. It is not a limitation of JConverter but most hosting companies block external access to DB via firewall.
• JConverter currently supports import of native Wordpress content, e.g. posts and pages. It does not support import of custom content types, e.g. galleries, products etc.

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

• No refund can be made for purchases because of any of the limitations mentioned above.
• From 1.7 version onward, support for Joomla 2.5.x is removed. You can still purchase JConverter and request for a 2.5 compatible version however it will not have any new functionality supported from JConverter 1.7 onward.
