   I really appreciate this content as it’s insightful. However, I noticed you did not talk about the domain which we are supposed to install the wordpress before importing Joomla website.

   I’m asking this because I want to move my website from Joomla to WordPress however, I still want to maintain my domain name. It is also not possible to install to CMS on a domain though, I noticed the tutorial states that Joomla website must be live for the importation to work.

   My Question: How do I move from Joomla to WordPress while still maintaining my Joomla domain name on the new WordPress website.

   Thanks as I await your response.

     For that, we would recommend checking with your hosting provider as some have a temporary URL or a staging site option that would allow you to set up the site without moving your domain name. It would depend on the specific host for the method that would need to be used.

   Great info! What I do not understand is: As we need to pick a theme after the import is complete why migrate the website and not built it from scratch in the selected WordPress theme. What do we win from the migration? Thank you

     It would depend on how much content is on your site, the export attempts to move the content while the theme styles your content.

   Hi,
   this article is definitely what I was looking for given that I was asked to update an old Joomla website and I decided to convert it into a WordPress website.
   I have a question: the Joomla website is very old (Joomla version running is 1.5.25). Would this technique work even with such an old version of Joomla?
   Thank you very much for your useful articles!

    Our current website was built in Joomla years ago and we want to revamp it in WordPress.
    We want to keep the current domain name but we don’t want to keep the old Joomla content; instead we prefer to start fresh since most of the content is outdated, anyway. That said, I’d like to keep the old website „live“ until the new website is ready to publish.
    Do I still need to technically „move“ the site from Joomla to WordPress or can I just change the platform from Joomla to WordPress without importing the content?

    • WPBeginner Support says

      If you don’t want to keep the content then you could create your WordPress site from scratch without worrying about your content. You would just point the domain name to your host once you are ready for the new site to be live.

    Your guide is very useful for those who decided to migrate from one CMS to another. However, it is not accurate to say that Joomla is not as powerful or flexible as WordPress. I’ve been working with both for many years now and I can say that you are wrong. The fact is that WordPress is simply more popular and perhaps slightly easier to setup for very novice user with very basic functionality. It is like the Windows vs. Linux discussion.

    Joomla was the platform we originally built upon, yet the difficulty with imbedding a customizable favicon became a real issue as the website looked incomplete, amateurish, with the seemingly unchangeable default favicon (a Joomla logo). Other WordPress websites of ours easily customize favicon images, thus we have elected to go all WordPress at this time.

    Your post is a tremendous resource. Thank you!

      Hey Ronny,

      WordPress can be multilingual using third-party plugins. We are not sure if those plugins would be able to recognize and sort multilingual content from another platform.

      We would suggest that you import your Joomla site to a WordPress installed on local server first.

      Hi Gjergji Kokushta,

      Please contact your hosting provider. Many Joomla hosting providers also support WordPress. In fact, your account may already be fully ready to install WordPress. However, if it is not, then you will need to move but you still wouldn’t need to change domain names as you can point your existing domain to your new WordPress website.

    Hey WPBeginner thanks for a great article!

    I plan on moving my site from Joomla to WP but most pages on the Joomla site has a .html extension on the end of the URL.

    From my research it seems that it’s hard or not possible for WordPress pages to have .html extensions, only posts.

    Is there a way around this or should I just migrate the content and create the pages without the .html extension on the URL? I’m scared this will effect rankings and will take some time to get indexed by Google.

      WordPress comes with a couple default themes pre-installed. The latest of the default themes will be automatically activated on your site when you install WordPress. You can import content from your Joomla site and then adjust or change your WordPress theme.

    This looks great!

    Was wondering if by importing the Joomla site, if it erases all the data from the Joomla site.

    For instance,

    I would like to create a copy of the joomla site on a test WordPress domain and edit it. Once the site is ready to replace the original Joomla site, then I would point it to the WordPress site.

    Would this be possible with this method?

    Hi,

    I read in the previous comments that it’s better to have a new database when migrating on the same server. But what does it mean? If my host only provide me with one database, I’ll buy another and when I install wordpress in a new directory I give the details of the new database and when migrating joomla I give the joomla database code in the plugin. Thoses database are completely independent aren’t they? Then I move up the wordpress directory at the root and I’m done? All my content will have gone on my new database won’t it?

    By doing that, assuming I have kept the same domain name, I guess only my wordpress site will be live, but what about the old links that are still visible on google? Don’t I risk a duplicate content and be blacklisted? i’m a bit confused..

      If you have joomla installed on the location where you would want to install WordPress then the best way to go is to create a new directory and then install WordPress in that directory. Once you have successfully migrated your Joomla site you can change your Domain’s settings to point to to the directory where WordPress is installed.
