Hit and miss…
by jameukl·1 year ago

Very hit and miss. Sometimes it will import a few posts, but most of the time I could not import any content. Also it is not possible to pause the import process. I had to use a the “extended” plugin in the end.

Works for some posts but not all
by Chloe·1 year ago

I like that this plugin is free, which is obviously a big plus point. But it did not import all my posts and did not do any pages. I will keep trying and update this review if I am able to complete the import.

Not great
by Jason @ pip3·1 year ago

It only works when you have a few posts

Not working for me
by Beff·1 year ago

I was never able to complete the import. It hangs and crashes each time.

It does work BUT
by nadiacardoso·1 year ago

It works but the blog posts don’t come as it should so I will need to fix it manually. Wondering if it’s worth it. I am going to try to add completely manually to see what takes less time. It’s disappointing.
