Export Wordpress to Jekyll using Exitwp

Exporting a Wordpress blog to Jekyll is useful if you prefer Jekyll’s light static webpage generation. It is also useful if you just want to export your Wordpress blog posts to Markdown files.

• Export your Wordpress blog using its export feature. This downloads your blog as one or more XML files.
• Clone the Exitwp repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/thomasf/exitwp.git

• Copy the Wordpress XML files into the wordpress-xml directory that is present inside the repository.
• Run the converter:

$ python exitwp.py

• After the conversion is complete, you will find your Jekyll Markdown posts in the build/jekyll/your-wordpress-blog-name/_posts directory in the repository.
