## விளக்கம்

This plugin allows you to import Movable Type backups instead of exports. It reads
the Meta information from the Movable Type XML file and creates the correct objects
and relations in your WordPress Blog.

You can import the following contents from your Movable Type blog:

 * Posts
 * Tags
 * Categories
 * Users
 * Files
 * Images
 * Comments

Some additional goodies:

 * Support for Multisite setups
 * Associations between Posts, Tags, Categories & Media
 * Updated internal URLs in your posts (Images, Links)
 * Users added as authors to blog instance
 * Images will be added to the media library (with thumbnails)
 * Support chunked backups for importing large sites

### Known Limitations

 * It’s possible to get an Out-of-Memory Exception while importing, if your XML 
   backup is too large to be processed in memory. Try using chunked backups from
   Movable Type (e.g. 2MB) instead.

### Roadmap

 * Try to use information from newly created image library entries, to generate 
   new clean img tags with correct sizing, etc.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * This screen shot show the Tools -> Import screen with the new entry ‘Movable 
   Type (Backup)’.
 * [[
 * The importer shows backups which are located in the correct directory. Later,
   it will allow you to choose the objects you want to import. Currently, it imports
   all of them.

## Installation

 1. Unzip `movable-type-backup-importer-$VERSION.zip`.
 2. Upload the `movable-type-backup-importer` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins` 
    folder
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 4. Go to the Tools -> Import screen, Click on ‘Movable Type (Backup)’

If you have large Backups, try to use a chunked backup from Movable Type, like 2
MB chunks for example. This is important to avoid memory problems during the import.
