Note. This plugin installs connection bridge on Joomla website, which is necessary for data exchange between WordPress and Joomla websites. After installation, you’ll be redirected to CMS2CMS website in order to complete the migration.
Steps to Take before Migration:
Install Joomla and make sure that Joomla and WordPress websites are available online.
Have WordPress website FTP access details at hand (host, username, password) - you use them to install connection bridge on WordPress site.
Set up custom URL structure for Joomla (it should be set before the migration for internal links to work correctly. If you change them after migration, site navigation will be broken).
Install Joomla plugins supported by CMS2CMS (if you want to migrate metadata or image galleries).
