Description

Hi All,

A message from a new user about migrating a site to the Commons:

"I've read your documentation on importing a wordpress site via XML, but given the large volume of content (like archive blog posts with featured >images and galleries) and especially the high degree of customization to the theme and css, that option doesn't seem very promising.

The current department site is here:
https://english.ccny.cuny.edu/

Are there any backup or migration plugins that can run on CUNY Commons?"

Are we able to upload a custom theme they may be using to help with the re-build?

Is there a reason that XML export/import might not work here? Is there an alternative, or should I suggest the XML process only?

I found a few possible back up plugins - do any of these look reasonable for use on the Commons?
