Hello, there is an importer for Wordpress available. Not used it personally but I assume it works as intended. There is a tutorial about importers here > Composr Tutorial: Importing data into Composr - Composr

Migrating a website from WordPress to Composr involves several steps. Here's a general outline of the process:
  1. Set up a new Composer installation: Start by installing a fresh Composer installation on your hosting server. You'll need to ensure that your server meets the system requirements for running Composer.
     
  2. Export content from WordPress: In your WordPress site, use the built-in export tool to generate an XML file containing your posts, pages, comments, and other content. To do this, log in to your WordPress admin panel, navigate to "Tools," and select "Export." Choose the content you want to export, and download the XML file.
     
  3. Import content into Composr: In your Composr admin panel, navigate to "Content Management" and select "Import." Follow the prompts to upload the XML file you exported from WordPress. Composr will process the file and import your content into the appropriate sections.
     
  4. Set up the theme: Composr uses its theme system, so you'll need to find or create a new theme for your website. Look for a Composr theme that matches the design and layout of your WordPress site, or consider customizing an existing theme to match your needs.
     
  5. Migrate media files: If your WordPress site includes images or other media files, you must transfer them to your Composer installation. This can be done manually by downloading the files from WordPress and uploading them to the appropriate directories in Composr. Alternatively, you may be able to use a migration plugin or script to automate this process.
     
  6. Set up redirects: To ensure your website visitors can access the new Composr URLs instead of encountering broken links, set up redirects from the old WordPress URLs to their corresponding Composr URLs. This can typically be done using server-level redirects or through a redirection plugin.
     
  7. Test and troubleshoot: Once the migration is complete, thoroughly test your Composr website to ensure that all content, functionality, and design elements are working as intended. Take the time to identify and fix any issues or inconsistencies that may have arisen during the migration process.
     
  8. Update DNS and go live: When satisfied with the migrated site's functionality and appearance, update your DNS settings to point your domain name to the new Composer installation. This step will make your Composr website accessible to the public.

It's worth noting that this is a general guide, and the specifics of your migration may vary depending on your WordPress setup, the complexity of your website, and any customizations or plugins you have in place. It's always a good idea to create backups of your WordPress site before beginning the migration process and consult the Composer documentation or support resources for further guidance.
