WordPress Import – Bludit Plugin
Import pages and posts from a WordPress XML export directly into Bludit.

Installation
1. Copy the wp-import folder into bl-plugins/ on your Bludit server.
2. Go to Admin → Plugins, find WordPress Import, and click Enable.
3. Click Settings to open the import page.

Usage
1. Export your WordPress content: Tools → Export → Download Export File.
2. Open the downloaded .xml file in a text editor (Notepad, VS Code, etc.).
3. Select all the content, copy it, and paste it into the textarea on the plugin settings page.
4. Adjust the import options as needed (defaults work for most sites).
5. Click Import WordPress Content.

Depending on the size of your export, the import may take a few seconds.

What happens after import

• All published posts and pages are created in Bludit.
• Content is sorted so the newest items appear first.
• WordPress excerpts become the Bludit description field.
• Gutenberg block comments and redundant CSS classes are stripped by default.
• <!--nextpage--> tags are converted to <!-- pagebreak --> for excerpt support.
• wp-content/ paths are rewritten to bl-content/.

Caveats

• This plugin imports content only. Uploaded images and media files are not transferred. After importing, copy your WordPress /wp-content/uploads/ folder contents into /bl-content/uploads/ manually.
• Due to Bludit's plugin architecture, the XML file content must be pasted into a textarea rather than uploaded as a file. For typical WordPress exports (1–3 MB), this takes only a few seconds.
• Bludit does not (currently) support splitting a single post across multiple pages. WordPress's <!--nextpage--> is converted to <!-- pagebreak -->, which controls excerpt cutoff on listing pages only.

Tested with Bludit Pro 3.21.1, PHP 8.5.5, Nginx 1.3.0

edit: I also recommend disabling Markdown parser in the Advanced Settings of the Admin Panel if your imported content is heavy with html styling or code sniplets.
