Oxcyon to WordPress

Plugin was developed to move an Oxcyon Centralpoint based website into WordPress. The plugin will take data from a
predetermined format and convert it into WordPress data.

Currently will import:

• Users
• Categories
• Tags
• Articles

Individual pages haven’t been mapped yet, as well as other Oxcyon modules. I’m not deeply familiar with Oxcyon,
so I have only converted as much as I know.

IMPORTANT

Security

For security, it’s suggested to create a user specifically to import the data, as well as to export the data to a
database.

Back Up Your Data

The import cannot be undone. MAKE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE RUNNING THE PLUGIN.
