I have about 205 text-based blog posts sitting in a self-hosted WordPress site that now need a new home on Discourse. The job is to move every post—titles, body content, excerpts, permalinks, tags, publish dates, and any internal links—so that they appear in the correct Discourse categories with clean formatting and working links. I’ll mark the project complete when every post is visible on Discourse, the formatting matches the original, and legacy links land in the correct place. If you have prior experience with WordPress exports, Discourse CLI tools, Ruby, or similar migrations, you’ll be able to move quickly.
