I'm past #18 and hit my next snag - I hope others find this helpful too. At the end of a download, I'm left with a file called hugo-export.zip.download that's tiny. When I try to unzip it, it turns into a .cpgz, which I then unzip into another .zip. This goes on forever.

The problem here was a timeout between my laptop and the wordpress hosting site. I established a better connection (dropped VPN and hardwired in) and downloaded the export folder.

Sharing this incase others are driven slightly mad by this process :+1:

@mjbrender Can you do me favor and export the data from wordpress with its XML file exporter? Only if you are ok to share it with me. You can send me an email to firstname @ lastname dot fm

Reason: with the XML file I can build a golang based converter and even integrate that code directly into hugo.

Thanks @hiproz - I almost did, but I don't have CLI access on my hosting provider. Just FTP.

@SchumacherFM glad to help. email coming your way and happy to help. I've run ~10 WP sites for a long time and I would like to get better at golang, so I'm converting to Hugo. Plus I'm sick of php :smile:. I'll start with this file.
