All the imported pages will be built into static HTML WordPress pages or blog posts.
The user may specify the HTML tag (e.g. <body>, <div id="wrapper">, or <td width="600">) or a Dreamweaver template region (e.g. 'Main Content') containing the content he wants to import.
Directory hierarchy will be preserved.
Folders containing the specified file types will be imported as empty parent pages.
Directories that do not contain the specified file types will be ignored.
The resulting IDs from the importing process, permalinks, and titles will be displayed.
On completion, the importer will provide a list of Apache redirects that can be used in the .htaccess file to seamlessly transfer visitors from the old file locations to the new WordPress posts or pages.
Installation:
Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. Here are some key features of "Import HTML Pages":
· Import pages or posts.
· Specify content and title as HTML tags or Dreamweaver template regions.
· Remove a common phrase (such as the site name) from imported titles.
· Specify file extensions to import (e.g. html, htm, php).
· Specify directories to exclude (e.g. images, css).
· If importing pages, specify whether your top-level files should become top-level pages or children of an existing page.
· Set tags, categories, and custom taxonomies.
· Choose status, author, and timestamp.
· Use meta descriptions as excerpts.
Requirements:
· WordPress 2.8 or higher
· PHP 5 or higher
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· The '.,..' directories are no longer optional, so you can't accidentally import hundreds of empty posts/pages by removing these from the skipped directories option.
· The beginning directory default is now based on the path to your WordPress installation. There's also a hint shown below the field. This should help people locate their import directory correctly.
· There's now an option to enter your old URL. If you enter it, your .htaccess redirects should work as displayed. If you leave it blank, you'll have to doctor the paths afterward, as before.
· Character encoding IS now optional. If your special characters did not import correctly before, try again with this option unchecked (which is now the default).
· Options are now deleted on plugin uninstall instead of deactivate.
· Code cleanup in preparation for version 2.0.
