What it does for your site

A long-running WordPress blog is not a bulk import. It has fifteen years of formatting drift, three plugin eras, and posts you would write differently now. SMACKPRESS is a workbench, not a firehose: it shows you each post, its images, and how it will read in SMACKTALK, and you say yes, fix, or skip.

How it works

  • Connect to the WordPress site (or its export). SMACKPRESS lists the posts.
  • Open one. See the original and the SMACKTALK conversion side by side. Images are pulled off WordPress and into your site’s image bucket, so nothing hotlinks back to a server you’re leaving.
  • Fix what needs fixing — a heading, a caption, a mosaic that should be a single image — and post it.
  • Next.

The rules it follows

  • Dates are the original publish dates.
  • Nothing is published without you looking at it. That’s the point of the tool.
  • The WordPress site is read, never modified. Leave it up until you’re sure.
