#WordPress friends!
I've got a bunch of WordPress posts and I'd like to export them into "proper documents". I'd take PDF or DOCX formats, I'd just like the images and links to survive the export process.

I can export everything as a giant XML file but most online converter choke on the size (9mb). I tried using Claude to write a script to save them as DOC files but I kept getting errors.

Who knew this would be so hard?

Sätze, die mit eigentlich anfangen… Eigentlich hatte ich #wordpress aus diversen Gründen nach Jahren den Rücken gekehrt und mich mit #StaticSiteGenerators angefreundet. Aber unneigentlich finde ich das was @pfefferle da in Bezug auf WP und Fediverse treibt so spannend, dass ich geneigt bin, noch mal neu zu beginnen. Auch wenn das bedeutet, sich mit dem ganzen Block-Editor / Site-Editor Gedöns mal „richtig“ zu beschäftigen. Mal gucken, ob ich im kommenden Urlaub mal was anteste.

Let’s say I was considering self-hosting a Ghost blog as a replacement/upgrade for my very-long-running wordpress based blog?

Are there good import tools for thousands of posts, images (cloud hosted and not) etc?

Inquiring FediMinds want to know! :)

And if you have opinions on Wordpress vs. Ghost, I’d be interested in hearing them. I don't have anything against WP per-se. Just interested in new kinds of blogging stuff.

Bridging the gap

The fediverse aims for a truly decentralized, interoperable social web, yet the landscape is still fragmented. Bridgy Fed helps close those gaps by letting ActivityPub-enabled WordPress sites form real two-way connections with networks like Bluesky. With the ActivityPub plugin activated, you can link your blog to Bluesky in a few clicks. After that, posts, follows, likes, and replies flow natively between the two worlds.

#Wordpress Posts im Fediverse sind offenbar für Mastodon-Leute sehr unpraktisch zu lesen. Ich hab im #ActivityPub Plugin von @pfefferle gesucht, ob sich da eine Art „Teaser mit Link zum Beitrag" einstellen lässt, aber nichts gefunden.

Hat irgendwer eine Lösung? Liegt es an der generellen Blog-Einstellung?

Hmm the #WordPress ActivityPub integration seems to have stopped sending unpublish events, and the Fediverse Preview doesn’t seem to match what’s published anymore. ~~Wish there was a gitlab/hub/codeberg type repo to post issues on.~~

Edit - there is! Not sure how I missed this before : github.com/Automattic/wordpres

@Mastodon

"Networked publishing, native analytics, and $100M earned by indie publishers "

"Ghost publications are now connected with an open network.

People can discover, follow, like and reply to your posts across #Bluesky, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Mastodon, #WordPress, #Ghost, and any other social web platform.

Distribution is now built-in."

hmm...

Mastodon wouldn't be a bit of an afterthought or anything. eh?

Or is Mastodon just another step toward Global Media Domination(tm)?

(Somebody hopes, anyway...)
