First, Eminence exported the content in batches into several csv files. Next, Eminence imported them with the WP ALL IMPORT plugin and the following add-ons:
For the products, we started by importing the product characteristics, then the categories, then the actual products before finally importing the products’ translated versions.
To avoid losing the current SEO positioning of the website, we imported all the meta descriptions and meta titles, and we kept the same URLs.
