Importing your existing content into your ClassicPress website from WordPress, another content management system, blogging platform, or website builder can save you a lot of time and money. This can also be helpful when you’re rebuilding your website and want to reuse existing content. Whatever the case might be, ClassicPress allows you to import content.
You can find requirements for each importing tool in Importing Content (#29) guide. You will find the Import screen by going to Tools > Import.
At this time, there are eight import tools available. They are not bundled with the ClassicPress out of the box and must be installed before using it.

Do you want to migrate your current site from WordPress to ClassicPress? You’ll need the ClassicPress Migration Plugin, which is not included on the Import screen. The Migration Plugin can also be used to migrate your site from ClassicPress to WordPress and between different versions of ClassicPress.
