How to convert vbulletin database into wordpress blog?

Discussion in 'Content Management' started by Lorelei, May 8, 2010.

    I was wondering if it's possible to take a (huge) forum database and create a blog out of it? i used to have a forum that didn't survive the latest php update and since it was a pain to maintain it, instead of trying to restore it, i'd prefer to create a blog out of it, so that each forum post will be a blog.

    is it possible? (free tool, paid service, anything?)

    Thanks in advance!

    There's a new & old mods for vB users/posts migrating to WP,
    with old one working only for users (requires licensed vBulletin).

    What about RSS posts from the forum into the blog?

    Hi guys, thanks for your replies. problem is, the forum is not online (the database is, but it's not accessible because of the php incompatibility.
    what i managed to do it export only the POSTS from vB database and upload them to wordpress database, so now in the wordpress installation I have a tree in the DB called "vbposts" (when i access through phpmyadmin). BUT how do I merge them with wp_posts?

    Hi guys, don't worry about that any more, I've just find out perfect team: gConverter, who are converting vBulletin db to Wordpress blog within 1 hour, they have already cared about that, just ask them.
    They are providing two type of vBulletin thread conversion:
    * First vBulletin post to Wordpress post, next vBulletin posts to Wordpress comments of that post
    * All vBulletin posts to Wordpress posts without comments.
