TP2WP Importer

The TP2WP importer uses XML files created by the TP2WP conversion service to import Typepad or MoveableType data into WordPress.

The importer uses a three-step process to check your server, import your data, and then import your attachments:

1. Status Check – To ensure a smooth import of your converted Typepad or MoveableType data, the plugin checks your server configuration. The status checkers will check your memory limit, maximum execution time, XML extension, permalink structure, theme, and plugin configuration.
2. Import Content – This step in the process handles the import of your WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS) file, which you can create at tp2wp.com. This imports all text-based data like posts titles, post bodies, authors, comments, tags, and categories.
3. Import Attachments – The final step in the process handles importing of attachments. This relies on your Typepad or Moveable type site being up and running. You will specify all domains or subdomains associated with your site before the import begins.

These three steps combined with the file conversion process at tp2wp.com allow for as much data as possible to be moved from Typepad or MovableType blogs without manually reconstruction of data. Pages, sidebars, and other content outside of posts are not preserved as part of this process.
