Changelog

0.6.4

  • Testing the plugin up to WordPress 6.9
  • Add missing HTML escape on output functions

0.6.3

  • Testing the plugin up to WordPress 6.7
  • Fix warning when mt-export.txt is used

0.6.2

  • Testing the plugin up to WordPress 6.4.2
  • Update link references from http to https.

0.6.1

  • Test the plugin up to WordPress 6.2

0.6

  • Add support for WordPress 6.1

0.5

  • Remove comment_exists check for importing comments. In testing, I found no duplicated comments via this method, and it’s extremely slow on large imports. If this check is needed, then define(‘WP_MT_IMPORT_ALLOW_DUPE_COMMENTS’, false);
  • Disable cache invalidation and both term and comment counting during import, for speed. Re-enable them after import.
  • Disable autocommit during import, commit once every 500 posts and after complete import. Huge speed boost. To force autocommit to be left alone, define(‘WP_MT_IMPORT_FORCE_AUTOCOMMIT’,true);

0.4

  • String updates

0.3

  • Use BASENAME, if present, as the slug for the post.

0.2

  • Add check for WP_LOAD_IMPORTERS

0.1

  • Initial release
