Migrating to WordPress Recipe Plugin and Some SQL Issues

To answer your questions:

Is this possible with an SQL command or just manually?

  1. Possibly. This would require you to map the data from your old table to the new WordPress table, since your old custom PHP script won’t be on WordPress. Merging your data from your old recipe table into WordPress won’t work since it is a completely new platform that you are migrating to and doing so will mess up your WordPress website.

Or are there any other ways to do this?

  1. A few ways:
    • Manual: If you don’t have that many recipes, you can manually copy-and-paste the data into your new WordPress website and plugin (Cooked). While this may be a tedious process, it’s a clean way.
    • Automated: Export the data from your old recipe table into an XML or CVS file and have that imported to WordPress. You can use a plugin that imports the XML/CSV (such as this one) by mapping the data to your new table and rows. I’ve personally haven’t use the plugin that I just linked to you, but it will require some testing on your end.
    • Professional: If the above are too tedious for you and you’re not comfortable with your technical skills, I’d look into hiring a WordPress professional who can help you with the migration process. This would cost you, unless you’re willing to pay. Prices vary on each web developer. You can post your job listing here.
