Import comments from Blogsome to Wordpress

This article taken from my official blog at http://dgk.or.id

I’ve made an import rss comments for wordpress. This script is useful when you have a wordpress free hosting such as blogsome or blogthing and you want migrate all comments.

Here below the steps to import all your posts and comments from blogsome to wordpress :

  • Read my previous post and my previous comments.
  • Login to the blogsome dashboard and see how many comments you have? (ie: 679 comments).
  • Set rss options on Option >> Reading to 679 or set to 700. Save it.
  • Open http://XXX.blogsome.com/comments/feed and save it (ie: rss-comments.xml).
  • Upload rss-comments.xml and put that file on wp-admin directory.
  • Download import-comment-rss.php and then edit import-comment-rss.php and replace define(’RSSFILE’, ‘’); with define(’RSSFILE’, ‘rss-comments.xml’);
  • Upload import-comment-rss.php and put that file on wp-admin directory.
  • Open http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/import-comment-rss.php and follow the steps on your screen.
  • Voila!

Note:

  • This scripts is modified from import-rss.php
  • There’s no URI, IP, Email and User Agent commenter on rss comments, so you can’t import them to the new database.
