Post image issue when migrating rom Broadscope theme

Hi Andreano,

Actually, unless you want to wait for something one day to be built or hire someone to build a custom importer, there is one way to do this relatively painlessly and would require a 39$ purchase , but I think the app is given with a 30 day free demo.

You would need to use a macro recorder. You would open a browser window on right side of screen where new website shows, and on left side of screen where the old site shows. Then you would record yourself copying and pasting everything from old into new, including images, at the end you would return to old and delete the post you just moved, and stop the recorder.

Then you put the recorder to play in a loop, and it will repeat all the copying and pasting that you did by itself, you can leave and let it endless copy all the 700 posts. It will probably take a full day or more, but since you do not have to do it yourself, but only once to make the initial recording, I think that is not a bad approach.

The one of the two minor difficulties is that the macro recorder has no way of being able to tell which category checkboxes are checked as it has no bionic eyes, so solution would involve adding a line of code to the edit post/page/portfolio item page so that the categories which are normally checked, are instead displayed in a text box, each separated by commas, so then its just cut and paste

The second problem is that if some of your posts have 2 images and others have a different number, then there will be problem since macro recorder just repeats your initial actions . Though I also have an idea. You can record 3 mini macros , one mini macro for posts with one featured image, another for posts with two images and yet another for three images on a page, and then to add and display an aditional field which would contain a number representing the total number of featured images contained within the post. The macro recorder is able to run a basic if/then/else then statement and based on the number in the field it would execute one of the mini macros. Solved 100%.

I made a video of me doing this and its working! wow. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hqGBMSfHtKcW9LLW1XZ3hyQVE/edit?usp=sharing … my speaker went crazy so i am sorry about the background hissing.

Thanks,
