WP Author Migration #
Set of utilities for migrating authors from one site to another and remapping posts with the appropriate author IDs.
Description ##
The WP Author Migration tool provides a set of wp-cli and GUI utilities for matching authors exported from one system and imported into another using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin.
The Challenge #
When importing a site using the All-in-One WP Migration plugin, it is common for author IDs to be updated, especially when migrating a single site into a multisite environment. While the user accounts are imported, the IDs will no longer match the authorid set on each post, causing the posts to be mapped to the wrong authors or no author at all.
Our Solution #
This plugin provides tools for exporting author data to a JSON file, and then using that file to create a mapping between authors on the old site and the new. That author map is then used to update the posts on the new site to point to the correct authors.
Basic Usage #
The basic usage of the command is as follows:
More detailed information on the parameters can be found on the WP Author Migration wiki.
