Content Migration

All the articles from Joomla are converted into WordPress posts.

belong to the same category they did before.

Joomla site.
● User Data
Users’ details are migrated including their username, email etc.
● Internal Links
The site navigation is preserved after migration, so links to migrated site
content will be live.

As outofthebox Joomla doesn’t support comments, they are migrated
from Jcomments extension directly into WordPress.
SEO Migration
Since losing rankings and SEO juice after website migration is the major
concern among website owners, CMS2CMS did their best to minimize any
negative effects after Joomla to WordPress transfer.
● SEO URLs migration
All internal links will be formed accordance to the structure a user defines
on the new WordPress site (this is optional).
Note. It is required that a client configures custom URL structure before
the migration for this option to work as desired.

At the moment, it’s possible to migrate meta keywords and descriptions
from sh404SEF Joomla extension into WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin (it
has to be installed on WordPress site prior to initiating migration).
