Importing pages from XWiki 15 to 16

Heya,

I have an html-export of an XWiki 15.10x installation and wanted to import them to a new 16.x installation. Either someone forgot to implement it or I am too blind to find it.
I have a zip-file with the export but when I try to import it, the file uploads and when I click it to do something with it, the right side of the page stays blank.

There are more than 1.200 pages so a manual import of every page is no option.

Best regards

Hi @Eldrin,

What you need is to export content as XAR from 15.10.x and import as XAR in 16.x.

Hope it helps,
Alex

Hi, please see https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Backup#HUsingtheXWikiExportfeature

Thanks for your replies, but I don’t have the old wiki anymore. The only thing I have is the export as “WebHome.html”. My thought was, when I export it as that, I can also import it again.

There’s no bulk HTML import. What you could do is add the HTML syntax as one of the configured syntaxes and then paste the HTML page by page and then use the automatic conversion feature of XWiki to convert from HTML to XWiki syntax 2.1, for example.
