After 3 years in limbo, here is a new stable version of my e107 Importer plugin for WordPress, proudly numbered 1.0 ! 
This is the first time this plugin is available on the official WordPress plugin repository. This means easy upgrades for you !
I’ve heavily updated the plugin to use the latest WordPress import framework, so everything is now cleanly integrated.
This version was tested with e107 v0.7.24 and WordPress 3.1-RC3.
Here is the changelog:
- Upgrade e107 code from e107 v0.7.24.
- Minimal requirement set to WordPress 3.0.0.
- Use new WordPress importer framework.
- Add an e107 to WordPress 301 redirector plugin (support news, pages, users and feeds).
- Disable the URL rewriting feature introduced in v0.9.
- Make image import optional.
- Add an option to upload images from allowed domains only.
- Align naming conventions with other WordPress importer.
- Add a complete WordPress plugin hosting compatible readme file with full metadatas.
- Add screenshots.
- List all versions of e107 and WordPress I tested this plugin with.
- Add a PayPal donation link.
- Add a minimal FAQ.
- Add an overview of features in description.
- Update source code repository location.
- Remove patching of Kubrick theme to support comments on static pages.
A note for developpers: the reference code base is now located on GitHub. That’s were all new code must be commited. WordPress’ Subversion repository is only a mirror.
If any question, please read the FAQ first.
Thanks for this
I wonder, I switched from e107 to WordPress about 8 months ago and have around 6,000 news items on e107 and about 500 on WordPress, will this importer be able to bring the stuff across from e107 seamlessly?
I also don’t want users imported….this was a problem on an earlier version of your importer
I would love to be able to delete my e107 install and have all the news transferred to my WordPress install so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
Sorry for the double comment, I got an internal server error while posting
I’ve just tried this on a test install and got a MySQL has gone away error on the users import…is there are way to take this part out as I don’t want it anyway
Good work Kev
@Simon Paul: user import is now optional. But you have to select a pre-existing user that will take ownership of all imported content.
If I have plugin content installed on my e107 site this is possible to transfer contents of this plugin to wordpress site
@AlexS: I don’t plan to add support of the e107 content plugin. But if you have code to contribute, I’ll be happy to integrate it to my e107 Importer.
I tried 1.0 but…
@Pety: I just fixed your issue. This will be part of the future 1.1 release.

FYI, e107 Importer 1.1 was just released !
I want to stay with the layout of the e107. I mean, “Body”and “Extended post news, ” whether it would be possible to use “more” tag to do this?
I think it might be a good solution.
This may be an option in the configuration.
Well
done
line #539
before:
after:
and it works quite well.
@Meshir: FYI, I changed the way extended news are handled in the coming up version (1.2) of e107 importer. In the latter I use the post excerpt if both the body and extended parts are not empty.
But maybe that’s a good idea to let the user choose the way extended parts are imported. I don’t know. If you think the automation I just implemented is a bad idea, let me know, I’ll update my plugin accordingly.
I slightly modified the script, because it was the only idea of what came to my mind.
For my purpose it was the simplest solution. It looks almost as in e107 and thats enough.
Well I think That could be one of the conversion options in configuration dialog.
Sorry for bad english – I have not had occasion to write in it since quite a few years.
@Meshir: I just added support of the
<!--more-->tag to the plugin. This feature will be part of the future 1.2 release.BTW, I just released e107 Importer 1.2.
I have set up a test site for converting to see how it works, in the hope of moving in early May.
It is running WordPress 3.1.1 and e107 0.7.24 the plugin is excellent for the news items but unfortunately it doesn’t import over the users. Only the main admin is transferred over. Any suggestions?
Thanks again for a great plugin
@Ken: did you try the latest version of this plugin, v1.2 for instance ? If so, please provide me more informations and eventually fill a detailed a bug report on GitHub.
