Advanced Migration Topics

This sample post demonstrates more advanced features and formatting options available in the template.

Custom Post Types

If your WordPress site uses custom post types, you may need to extend the migration script. The WordPressClient class can be easily extended to support additional content types.

Markdown Features

Lists

You can create ordered lists:

  1. First item
  2. Second item
  3. Third item

Or unordered lists:

  • Item one
  • Item two
  • Item three

Blockquotes

This is a blockquote. Use it to highlight important information or quotes from other sources.

Tables

The template supports GitHub Flavored Markdown tables:

Code Blocks in Multiple Languages

Python Example

def migrate_post(post):
    """Convert WordPress post to Markdown"""
    markdown = html_to_markdown(post.content)
    return markdown

SQL Example

SELECT 
    post_title,
    post_date
FROM wp_posts
WHERE post_status = 'publish'
ORDER BY post_date DESC;

Bash Example

#!/bin/bash
# Run migration script
npm run migrate

# Build for production
npm run build

SEO Considerations

When migrating, pay attention to:

  1. URL Structure: The template preserves WordPress URL structure by default
  2. Meta Tags: All meta tags are automatically generated
  3. Structured Data: JSON-LD structured data is included for better SEO
  4. Sitemap: A dynamic sitemap is generated automatically

Redirects

If you need to set up redirects, you can use Next.js middleware or configure them in next.config.mjs:

async redirects() {
  return [
    {
      source: '/old-url',
      destination: '/new-url',
      permanent: true,
    },
  ];
}
