We started by configuring the settings for the import. This plugin is developed by the same developer that developed the FG Drupal to WordPress plugin we used in the previous recipe. Therefore, the settings, screens, and process are exactly the same as the Drupal migration process. So, we are not going to look at the process in detail. Let's take a look at how the data is transferred from Joomla to WordPress.

The free version of this plugin supports Joomla's posts, categories, and images in the migration process. Joomla stores post-related information in a table called content. The plugin retrieves the content data from the Joomla database and inserts it into the WordPress wp_posts table as posts. Apart from the main post, all other Joomla content-related info will be lost because we can't match it with WordPress tables.

Similarly, the categories in Joomla are stored in the category table. This data will also be migrated to the wp_term and wp_term_relationships tables in WordPress. 

Once the migration is completed, the log will show which data has been migrated to the WordPress site. In this case, it shows six articles and two categories. Now, you can view the WordPress site to see the Joomla articles as WordPress posts, along with the categories.

The Joomla database has over 30 tables compared to the 11 tables in WordPress. So, there will be a major data loss, similar to what we saw with the Drupal-to-WordPress migration.
