Migration

A step-by-step guide to moving a WordPress blog to Hugo: back up, inventory, convert with a script, rescue images, keep every link, then go live.

How I chose a new home for a personal blog after a break-in: the requirements, the candidates, and why a static site generator won.

Converting 137 WordPress posts to Markdown, recovering lost images from backups, and keeping every old link alive.

137 posts moved to a static Hugo site, 126 images recovered from an old backup, old links kept alive.

Exported the content from the broken site and started sorting what could be recovered.
