Typo to Wordpress Migration
I had been underwhelmed with Typo, so I switched back to Wordpress today. I searched google for a script to do so, but found very few references to anyone doing so. This meant I had to write my own script to migrate back to Wordpress.
If anyone else wants to make the same switch as me, check out my script to make the move. Just save the file to your server, remove the .txt and run it from the command line. Be sure to update the values mentioned in the file.
If you have any trouble with it or want to make changes, please contact me.
Note that rather than worry about my offset from GMT, I just made the post time be GMT. So that means that my posts were actually written a few hours earlier than the system thinks, but since I have spent time in multiple timezones, I am just not going to worry about it. If you do want to worry about it, it is a simple fix.

Hi Travis, I altered the script a bit for the current typo-version and all worked nicely. I also added some tag-migration stuff. Give me a yell if you’re interested in a updated version.

Hi there. Which version of WP does this script support? When I tried it with the current version I ended up with a screen full of errors running migrate.php and a blog that says “Not found” (What you are looking for isn’t there).
