    Import Wordpress Posts as VB questions

    HI all,

    Thinking of purchasing the tool but have a question. I have a wordpress site which has many thousands of posts on it and tens of thousands of comments on said posts (the questions and comments/answers are pulled from Yahoo Answers using WP Robot). I would like to be able to pull all of this content into a new VB forum. Is this possible? I would like to have the WP post as the thread and the comments in WP as the replies.

    I know that the content at the moment is all duplicate but I want to pull it so that the forum is launched with a high level of content which in turn will invite real users. There used to be a plugin for vb 3.6 called ICO Content which pulled Q and A from Yahoo Answers but that seems to have vanished and I'm not aware of any for VB 4

    thanks
    Carl

    In ImpEx, WordPress is listed as a Tier 3 system. Tier 3 importers are no longer supported or updated. Below is the information about the WordPress importer that is currently in ImpEx:

      Current Impex will not import Wordpress Comments. There is also a small bug that must be manually edited to import articles.
