Since ((Tiki7)).0.

Basically you need to generate a Wordpress XML file and upload this file through the importer interface.

{maketoc}

!! Requirements
* [http://php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php|DOMDocument] (should be enabled by default on recent PHP installations)

{REMARKSBOX(type=note, title=Note)}Depending on the size of the file from the source software, the import process may take a while to complete. This might be a problem according to your PHP and web server settings. This script tries to change the relevant settings but there are some settings that the script cannot change. So, if you are having problems with the script, please try to increase the value of the following PHP settings: max_input_time, max_execution_time (this setting is limited by the web server setting, if you are running Apache also change its Timeout setting), post_max_size, upload_max_filesize, memory_limit. It is recommended that you run this script on a server where you can change the values of those settings (if needed).{REMARKSBOX}

* Tiki 7.0

!!Known issues
The following is a list of known issues with the current version of the importer. If you have technical knowledge please feel free to help.


!! Support
* See http://tiki.org/Support 
+ for standard support mechanisms in Tiki

!! Tips
* Before using the importer it is a good idea to check your XML file for errors. You can do that by opening it on Firefox (or another program that can open XML files). If your file has XML errors Firefox will tell in which lines, whereas Tiki importer will just generate an error without further information.
