MinnPost migrator

[ronchambers]

At this latest commit, the command to set CAP Guest Authors from postmeta _mp_subtitle_settings_byline, will process byline names that match first last.

Command: wp newspack-content-migrator minnpost-set-authors-by-subtitle-byline

It is recommended to wait to run this on staging, until the remaining non-first-last bylines are added to the command.

Command: wp newspack-content-migrator minnpost-set-featured-images

Notice: any existing _thumbnail_id values on published posts will be updated if a "main" or "thumb" image was found.

Command: wp newspack-content-migrator minnpost-set-primary-category

Based on the discovery in the Asana task, the only way to makes sure the staging primary category matches the live primary category is to do a remote_get of the live url.

Prior to first run, please use the flag --test-regex to test the bylines without updating the DB.

The command also requires 2 files, a known names file and a know suffixes file. These will be shared in GDrive.

Test command: wp newspack-content-migrator minnpost-set-authors-by-subtitle-byline --txt-names=known-names.txt --txt-suffixes=known-suffixes.txt --test-regex

Real command: wp newspack-content-migrator minnpost-set-authors-by-subtitle-byline --txt-names=known-names.txt --txt-suffixes=known-suffixes.txt
