Quine · 01-14-2018, 03:48 PM

Greetings,

friend has an older Joomla site and now he wants to make it in WP. I can't use script to convert it because there are some errors on Joomla installation (archive gives error 404 etc.).

What is the most painless way to do it?

Here's my plan:

Go to abc.com/cpanel and install fresh WP in /wp/ folder (abc.com/wp/). I'll copy manually content from abc.com to abc.com/wp/, install additional plugins etc. and make the site as similar as abc.com

Last part - make the domain abc.com point to abc.com/wp/.

Is this a good plan?

He'll lose original URLs (from abc.com), but I don't think he cares about that.
