WebcomicUnderdogs.com merging comments question #54

Closed headcomic closed 9 years ago

headcomic commented 9 years ago

Basically, Kevin and I, unaware of the process we were going to go through to simply import the Underdogs.com content, actually reformated and posted some of the underdogs content on MakingComics.com already.

For instance the article "DIY: Cutting Out The Middle Man" appears in two places:

  1. http://www.webcomicunderdogs.com/d-y-i-comics-cutting-out-the-middle-man-by-jessie-w-craig/
  2. http://www.makingcomics.com/rd/2014/11/24/d-i-y-comics-cutting-middle-man/

The question is, can we use the plugin (http://www.webmastertools.bz/move-wordpress-comments-to-different-website-or-post/) to take the comments from post #1 and import them onto the already "MakingComics.com" formatted article #2 ?

That look slike manual DB manipulation which sounds like we'd be in for a world of hurt in teh long run.

If you ask me I would just do a stand export of all posts from underdogs. Then do a stand import to MCDC. This will include all comments. After everything is in you can do your reformatting as needed.

Ok, I will relay this as the workflow to Marisa and Michael.
