cms2cms-connector

Two problems: 1) I paid $750 to import content from a TYPO3 website, and 2) I wasn’t able to refine exactly which content I wanted, so I had a lot of extra garbage I had to sort through and delete after import. HOWEVER, the service still saved me days of work, as I had to import about 400 news items in a foreign language from a client’s existing TYPO3 website and get it into WordPress posts with the dates and formatting intact. That would have been a nightmare to do manually. It was more than I expected to spend, but totally worth it for how ultimately seamless and quick the process was. When I had a couple of questions before I used the service, the support team was really quick to reply each time. I’d use CMS2CMS again, if the opportunity arose.

I paid US$ 88 to see the plugin showing me an “everything-is-perfect” loading screen and then in the end nothing was migrated. zero. totally crap. I want my money back. do a favour for yourself and do not install this plugin, you will be throwing your money down the drain.

So they said and advertised they could migrate Invision to Wordpress… well after receiving $400+ they disappeared with communication. They said they ran into an issue and are working on it. Several days later no response. I contacted the company that processed the payment and after a couple days I am working to get my money back. Just be careful with your migration. I have used them in the past and they did a pretty good job BUT they aren’t what they use to be. It appears they don’t have the technical ability/support to do what they use to. Just wanting you to be warned of my experience. I am hoping you have better luck since there really isn’t any other company that I can find that does migrations.

I’m not going to say this product didn’t work at all, it mostly worked. So if it doesn’t work right for you on the first try be prepared for massive frustration dealing with their really poor customer support. If you do have to communicate with their customer support expect only one email per day. On the current migration with them it’s been almost 3 weeks and it’s still not done. Probably would have been cheaper for me to hire some high school kids to just copy and paste all of these articles. Unfortunately this is not the first time I’ve used this product and I’ve had issues every time. With that being said it really is the only migration tool that I found to migrate lesser used cms’s.

After failing to migrate from Wix to Wordpress using an RSS Feed, I heard about CMS2CMS. I had accepted a job to do 6 websites migrations and needed to do it quick. They do offer a free demo that will migrate over a few items, then they show you an estimate to do the rest. For what would have taken me hours to do manually, took less than 10 minutes for each of the sites through this tool. The sites I were migrating were between 50-100 posts and cost me about $40-$75 each. While I do wish it was more affordable, I can’t complain for the sanity it’s saved me haha.

Good support from the management. Happy that the CEO himself stepped in for an issue and made sure it was resolved. Thanks!
