PixelPost to WordPress Exporter

Are your photos trapped inside of PixelPost?

PixelPost to WordPress ExporterThis plugin for PixelPost will allow you to export your posts, comments, categories, tags and images into the WordPress blogging platform. Although PixelPost is a very fine photoblogging script, it is limited in uses other than for photos. In today’s world of multimedia, wouldn’t it be nice to have the option to add video posts or text posts or anything you care to blog about in one platform.

Export all of your posts and keep the visitors and comments that you have worked hard in obtaining!

This package comes in two parts. An addon for the PixelPost installation that allows you to export your data. An admin plugin to import this data into WordPress. It could not be any simpler!

In order to obtain the PixelPost to WordPress Exporter package, a $14.99USD donation is required of you that will be forwarded to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Why? My wife is a medical researcher working on the cure for blood cancers. She works in a lab that works hand in hand with the LLS. We support the LLS through various events and fundraisers, inlcuding Light the Night. A small donation on your part allows you to save hours and hours of your time in trying to export your PixelPost data by hand. This donation also helps save lives of people afflicted by blood cancers. All proceeds from your donations will be given to LLS.

Donate today and upgrade your photoblogging and your karma!

$14.99 = saved lives

    Thanks for your script, like you know it works perfectly, everybody should use it…

    This script worked great. I was able to import 300 posts with comments/tags/images/etc. without issue. I love the fact it allows you to export the data from Pixelpost without causing any issues with the Pixelpost install. Importing into WordPress is simple and easy. The export creates an XML file that WordPress reads and the posts are imported.

    Step by step instructions are included with the download as well. All in all this was a great help.

    Work like a charm! Thanks for the great script!

  • Shawn Bierman 17 Aug 10 - 10:12 pm

    Exported/Imported 171 posts (with images) and 744 comments from PixelPost to WordPress with no headaches.

    Great job, easily worth the donation.

    Worked fine…thanks for your support!!

    Great script – worth the donation. Thanks!

    Despite a tiny wait for approval, holy cow this thing really works! Expect a positive review on my site soon.

    Fantastic plugin, i changed the plattform without any headache. The donation is worth it. Thanks

  • Robert 09 Jan 11 - 12:17 pm

    Export/import scripts rarely work as well as this one. It will save you loads of time and headache when moving from Pixelpost to WordPress (time better spent taking pictures).

    The plugin’s worth every penny, and to top it off, Jeff’s a nice guy who’s donating the money to a good cause.

    Hi Jeff;
    I am very interested in your script, because I’d like to migrate to wordpress for more flexibility in my photoblog over to the photos and to have also a page with my own portfolio, in a single url.
    in the same way, but I do not want to lose almost 9000 comments that I received divided in 268 photos.
    I wanted to know what you think about my question,

    1) you can import all the material complete?
    2) I switch to wordpress and keep the same url that I have now with Pixelpost?

    Thanks and good weekend
    soon

    Hi,

    I’m trying to find out if this really works before I shell out the monies.

    Most of the links I have clicked of users who seem to have used the plugin, have blogs that are still hosted on Pixelpost.

    What’s the deal?

  • ElevenTwentySix 04 Feb 11 - 11:15 am

    Naveen,

    Some of the links showing Pixelpost may be because they are still working on their WordPress installations. It takes a while to fully understand WordPress and get it to do what you want. There is a learning curve to creating a WordPress theme. They will continue to use their Pixelpost install until they are confident that WordPress is ready to go.

  • Alberto (photholic) 09 May 11 - 6:58 pm

    Works as expected, just need some minor tuning because my pixelpost was not installed on root.

    In any case, anyone knows how to automatically translate old pixelpost URL’s (photholic.com/pBlog/index.php?showimage=20) to new the wordpress ones (photholic.com/?p=20) by working with “.htaccess” file?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Rob 14 Jun 11 - 3:46 pm

    Will this work even if your Pixelpost site is not working due to a server upgrade? The database is still intact as are the photos and thumbnails (and both are backed up) but I can no longer view it on the web due to errors after my host did a PHP 5.3 upgrade. This is why I want to migrate it. Just want to make sure your script can run even if I can’t get to the Pixelpost admin screen.

    Thanks

  • Nate 23 Jun 11 - 6:31 pm

    I paid for your plugin but it’s not working. Could you help me please? It’s failing every time it says it’s importing. It fails to import anything except tags!?

  • Nate 30 Jun 11 - 12:27 pm

    Everything worked after your help! Thanks for the relief this heartache has caused me for about 3 years while I have waited for a Pixelpost export to wordpress script. The peeps at Pixelpost think they are too cool to include such a plugin for Pixelpost yet they haven’t updated their platform in over two years. So I ditched it after feeling too vulnerable because of it.

  • Sebastien 07 Jul 11 - 11:35 am

    Hi,
    I’ve a got a photoblog running on Pixelpost and a site running on wordpress.
    I would like to migrate my photoblog into an existing wordpress installation.
    Do you know if it’s possible with your script (or should I use a clean install) ?

    Rgds,

    Sebastien

    After a while looking like Pixelpost import to wordpress, I tried this plugin and made it perfect, here is my current wordpress photoblog with http://www.raulsaez.es

    Thanks

  • Anil 15 Oct 11 - 8:21 am

    This seems to be the life saver I was looking for!

    But like Sebastien, I too want to import my pixelpost photoblog (which has about 700 photos) into my existing wordpress blog (which has about 200 posts).

    Would that be possible with this plugin? Please let me know. Many thanks!

  • ElevenTwentySix 15 Oct 11 - 9:40 am

    Many people have imported into an existing WordPress install. You should be able to import from Pixelpost without any problems. I would definitely backup your WordPress before doing the import. WordPress is pretty smart not to overwrite posts with the same ID number. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Jeff

  • ElevenTwentySix 15 Oct 11 - 9:46 am

    Just wanted to say thanks again to everybody that made donations over the past year and a half that this solution has been available. Every little bit helps to find a cure. Tonight is the LLS Light the Night Walk. My wife, daughter and myself will be taking part in the walk.

    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Devyn 26 Nov 11 - 9:31 pm

    Thank you for making my transition to WordPress as simple as it was. This has helped breath some life into my old mostly dormant DSLR site and I no longer need to worry about the lack of available Pixelpost support.

  • Jerome 08 Dec 11 - 3:56 pm

    I have installed the plugin. Worked quite well but on my 700 images, only 500 where imported. Even when segmenting the files ? Could you give me some help ?
