A really great and simple plugin that imports almost all of Ghost’s content. After the import, you only have to set the categories and upload images because the plugin cannot do that, even if the function is theoretically included. Thanks for this!

We were trying to figure out how to import from Ghost to WordPress, and after several failed attempts at converting .json to .xml and importing that, I tried this plugin. Worked great on WordPress 5.3.2. Thanks, Tyson!

Imported all of my posts, images, everything. Couple of tiny nuances, but saved me a tonne of times. Things you will need to change: 1) Categories get imported as tags. 2) Excerpts are missing (if you have set them). 3) Pages get imported as posts. All minor things, great plugin. Like I said, saved me hours. Great work!

Fairly spartan. There is an option to do a “dry run.” However doing so only shows that 0 of 0 posts would have been imported. I bit the bullet and went ahead and ran it. Even though it still said 0 of 0 posts imported… when I clicked on the posts, they were all imported. Included drafts that had not been published. I haven’t looked super closely at the posts themselves, so it’s possible that there will be issues that need to be corrected, but such is life. Tight work!
