  Has anyone successfully imported existing wordpress content into Sitefinity? We are currently working on feasibility on making the transition from wordpress to sitefinity.

  Hello,

   I haven`t migrated wordpress site to Sitefinity, but the process of migration is to move the design related files of wordpress to Sitefinity as master pages and themes as in this documentation.
  The automated way to get content from mysql database and publish it as Sitefinity content is using Sitefinity API.

  We have managed to import the data into Sitefinity from Wordpress, but the issues we still face are importing the corresponding Tags and Categories. Is there a way we can do this?

  Hello,

   To add a tag to a blog post:

  var taxManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

             var taxon = taxManager.GetTaxa<FlatTaxon>().Where(t => t.Name == "Book").Single();

             BlogsManager blogsManager = BlogsManager.GetManager();

             var myPost = blogsManager.GetBlogPosts().Where(d => d.Title == "Post1");

             foreach(var doc in myPost)

             {

                 doc.Organizer.AddTaxa("Tags", taxon.Id);

             }

             blogsManager.SaveChanges();

  The approach is the same for adding category. There is no automatic functionality in Sitefinity that will migrate tags and categories. For example if you have imported the blogs posts from RSS feed the feed will not add the categories and tags.Regards,
