Is it possible to convert Joomla to Wordpress?

I need an established website that was created in Joomla converted to Wordpress. Is that possible? How much would that cost (is it even cost effective)?

It's definitely possible, and cost affective, to convert Joomla to wordrpess.

Don't bother paying a programmer because he will just install a plugin and go through the step by step process of converting your joomla site to a wordpress site. It's actually pretty simple with the plugins that wordpress provides. It's actually a pretty smart thing to offer since they can pull people from joomla and keep them on wordpress since it's a much more loved platform for a website or blog Is it possible to convert Joomla to Wordpress?

On wordpress.org I searched for "convert joomla to wordpress" and I found a few plugins that were just ok. But there was one plugin that topped the leader board in terms of five star reviews and the amount of installs. It currently has over 10,000 installs and a five star rating. I'd say that's a pretty good plugin since everyone that uses it is in love with it lol.

The plugin I'm referring to is here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fg-joomla-to-wordpress/

When you add this plugin you can begin the transfer from Joomla to Wordpress pretty easily. One of the best features about the fg joomla to wordrpress plugin is that it can work with really big databases. Their page says they've worked on databases with over 72,000 posts, how big is your database? You can pretty much convert anything from your joomla website over to a wordpress website in time. I'm sure there will be a few bumps in the road because not everything is perfect in todays world. But this plugin will definitely help increase the speed of your transfer and reduce your stress Is it possible to convert Joomla to Wordpress?

Yes indeed it is possible. As explained earlier you can use plugins in WordPress to import data from joomla to wordpress. But you have to make sure that you have read the process. Because not following the process may lead to corruption of joomla data. Make sure to backup everything. You can also export MySQL data. And that way you can easily get the most out of data.

I think based on my experience. Plugins make things a lot easier. And there seems to be no need to use the script. So I guess people should make use of the plugins. And there seems to be around few out there from what I have seen.

I just had to research and I found it quite possible, you could do it yourself by following the processes needed to convert to WordPress or contact a programmer which I believe could be the best unless you aren't a novice like me.

Just study how it been done with joomla plugins and you will good to go.
