Ghost Migrator: The easy way to migrate data to Ghost
The official Ghost plugin allows you to export your WordPress data in a JSON format that can be imported quickly and easily by the Ghost publishing platform.
Features Overview
The Ghost Migrator plugin will export as much blog and publication data as it can into a clean set of exported files.
- Posts, pages, tags and authors are all automatically exported and recreated for Ghost
- Tags will be migrated, but not categories. If needed you can convert your categories to tags before exporting.
- Ghost does not have built-in comments, but it does integrate with many comment platforms if you want to migrate your comments there.
- No custom fields, meta, shortcodes, post types, taxonomies or binary files will be migrated. Just regular posts, pages, tags and images
- Passwords are not migrated – after importing to Ghost, each user may perform a password reset to gain access to their Ghost account
