It took me some time to dig into it but finally managed to migrate. Serendipity is a nice blog platform that served me well for 10 years. But I couldn’t find a theme that would suite my needs and be responsive. So I decided to move. Here are the steps I took:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Download the WordPress version 4.1 from 2014 from https:\/\/wordpress.org\/download\/releases\/<\/a>. This might not be necessary but I did it just in case since the migration code I found was from 2012. <\/li>
  2. Install WordPress.<\/li>
  3. Head to the s9y-to-wp<\/a> plugin page on github to check the instructions. I did not follow them by the word as they are written for an even older version of WordPress.<\/li>
  4. In phpMyAdmin or in CLI run this SQL:
    TRUNCATE wp_posts; <\/code>
    TRUNCATE `wp_postmeta`; <\/code>
    TRUNCATE `wp_term_relationships`; <\/code>
    TRUNCATE `wp_term_taxonomy`; <\/code>
    TRUNCATE `wp_comments`; <\/code>
    TRUNCATE `wp_commentmeta`; <\/code>
    DELETE FROM wp_terms WHERE wp_terms.term_id!=1;<\/code>
    <\/li>
  5. I ssh-ed to my server to copy the plugin:

    $ cd \/var\/www\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins
    $ mkdir serendipity
    $ cd serendipity
    $ wget     https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/ShakataGaNai\/s9y-to-wp\/master\/serendipity.php<\/a><\/code>
    <\/li>
  6. In WordPress Dashboard go to Plugins -> Installed plugins<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
