imported blog from wordpress, how to re-create tags and categories?

By webdev2 on 4 Nov 2008 at 15:14 UTC

I have tried wp2drupal and wordpress import.

wp2drupal module creates taxonomy vocabulary for the categories and forum post (why?) for tags.

wordpress import module imports tags and categories INTO custom fields in the blog content type.

How can I use either, or import another way, to be able to display categories like wordpress, for ex:

TopicA(23)
TopicB(3)
TopicC(12)
TopicD(53)

Any ideas?

I think what is imported by wp2drupal is more natural.

You can use the Taxonomy DHTML module to display the categories, though there are other ways to do it, too.

You'll have to figure out how to display the category block only on blog posts and category pages, though.

Hi,

Worpdress Import don't import tags and categories in custom fields but in two taxonomies : wordpress category and wordpress tag.

Which worked fine for me.
