I just released the version 1.4 of my e107 Importer plugin for WordPress  .

This is a special release as it ends the active development cycle. I officially declare this plugin unmaintained . I don’t plan to work on it again.

The 1.4 will be the last version. Unless you send me code contribution, you’ll not see a 1.5 version.

The reason behind this decision is simple and straightforward: I’ve recently migrated my last e107 website to WordPress. Now that e107 is no longer part of my life, I have no interest in spending time and energy working on this plugin.

So if you plan to get rid of your e107 sites in favor of WordPress, do the migration now, as the plugin will self-deteriorate as WordPress API gets updated.

Finally, while cleaning up my home folder, I stumble upon this old screenshot of dash ’s old e107 site. This is what its maintenance page looked like the day she initiated the transition to WordPress using my script:

A site's temporary closure page, an enthusiastic all-caps message thanking the author of the migration tool for doing in seconds what would have taken months

    Kevin, I love your work. I used your plugin to succesfully migrate my E107 powered website to Wordpress, but unfortunately the E107 content pages are not converted. I know you stopped developing, but I was wondering if anybody else is missing this option and has the knowledge to code this particular bit. I surely don't have the knowledge... and if nobody's gonna do it, there is no other option than to convert it by hand...

      @Tom: You're right. Custom pages are imported but not content pages (never used that plugin on my e107 sites). If you have a limited number of pages, you may consider migrating them by hand. And if you produce code and extend my plugin, I'll be happy to integrate your changes in the code base.

    I know this is old, and I suppose I don't expect a reply, but anyway... has anyone successfully used this plugin with e107 1.0.4 and WP 4.0? Or if not, been able to at least partially import to WP? I'm going to try on a local server, but if anyone has any tips I should know about, please post! :)
