I didn’t think about it and imported the entries from my old WordPress blog without evaluating how the import tool works. This resulted in truncating the basenames in Movable Type and altering the original format from WordPress. End result all of the URLs on my Blog changed… obviously not something I wanted.
After some pain I managed to correct the URL structure and added a rewrite rule to Apache to strip out the old /archive/ directory entry. I still have some tweaks to adjust the structure of the site – but it’s getting there.
Now I just need to decide if I want spaces in the entry titles to be “-” or “_”.
Please, by all means, submit a bug report if your migration did not go as smoothly as you would like. It is very important to us, as you might imagine, for our users to have a pleasant experience in moving to the MT platform.
