Convert Post From WordPress to Blogger

April 5th, 2009 | 21 Comments | Posted in WordPress

Google-blog-converters-appengine is a converter to/from various blog formats like wordpress2blogger, blogger2wordpress and etc.

Let’s take an example, says we are going to convert blog post from wordpress to blogger with google-blog-convertes-appengine.

Steps:

1. Download google-blog-converters-appengine from http://google-blog-converters-appengine.googlecode.com/files/google-blog-converters-1.0-r64.tar.gz

2. Extract the file

3. Download XML export file from wordpress

4. Open Terminal and go into “google-blog-converters-1.0-r64/bin”. Assume the file located at Desktop

cd ~/Desktop/google-blog-converters-1.0-r64/bin

5. Type below command in Terminal

./wordpress2blogger.sh ~/Desktop/wordpress.<date>.xml | tee result.xml

6. Done. You can now import result.xml to blogger host service.

Troubleshooting

If you find any errors when execute “./wordpress2blogger.sh ~/Desktop/wordpress.<date>.xml | tee result.xml”.

Might be caused by the XML syntax errors. Check the error message.

Example:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./../src/wordpress2blogger/wp2b.py”, line 467, in
translator.Translate(wp_xml_doc, sys.stdout)
File “./../src/wordpress2blogger/wp2b.py”, line 138, in Translate
xml.sax.parseString(doc, self)
File “/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/sax/__init__.py”, line 49, in parseString
parser.parse(inpsrc)
File “/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/sax/expatreader.py”, line 107, in parse
xmlreader.IncrementalParser.parse(self, source)
File “/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/sax/xmlreader.py”, line 123, in parse
self.feed(buffer)
File “/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/sax/expatreader.py”, line 211, in feed
self._err_handler.fatalError(exc)
File “/usr/lib/python2.6/xml/sax/handler.py”, line 38, in fatalError
raise exception
xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException: :2678:45: not well-formed (invalid token)

Check the line number highlighted with red color.

The correct syntax for this should be:

<wp:meta_value><![CDATA[Google crhome, Overall, pros & cons, tips & tricks]]></wp:meta_value>

u mean putting ' & => &' ? I think that won't solve the problem and you will still getting XML syntax error.
Marc

sorry this rendered rather than displaying as text!

“& -> & a mp ” was what was intended(without spaces), works fine with xerces at least
http://blog.chenhow.net chenhow

Yup, we can use (&) as markup delimiter and within a comment or CDATA section. If they are needed elsewhre, then it must be escaped using either number character or string like “&amp”. I think it should have the same functionality eventhough I didn't tested it by myself.
