exitwp: Wordpress Export Script for Hyde Posted on 2013-03-30 by Dave Fowler

There's a nice wordpress export script for Jeckyll on github. I forked it and made it work for Hyde which is quite a similar format. I made a few other changes based on these requirements I had

• Maintain the url structure of /YYYY/MM/DD/post-slug/
• Clean up a bunch of odd characters
• Maintain code highlighting

Unfortunately many of the code sections didn't work out, but almost everything else did. I didn't actually have to change a lot to get it working. If interested you can checkout the diff on github.

Here are a few downsides of the script

• I couldn't export dates in the !!timestamp "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" format that Hyde likes due to the yaml library used.
• I've still been unable to get the wordpress comments imported into Livefyre or Disqus
• I wasn't able to get everything working with syntax highlighting
