I found a really cool Joomla plugin.  Actually, it is a component rather than a plugin. This component helps you to export your joomla database for Worpress. This component creates a XML dump of your sites contents. This XML file is readable and importable by wordpress. This component is important if you want to migrate from Joomla to WordPress. The XML dump will include all your posts, with categories and with all its comments.

You can download the component here. Thanks to the creator of the plugin.

Have fun….!!

You must have come across such situations in your website, where google has crawled some pages of your website, but later you moved that page somewhere. You might fear that u’re loosing the leads to your website. You must have seen your website showing 404 (”Page Not Found”) messages.

Well there are some simple things you can do in your Joomla website. You can either create a custom error page(404 page) and then redirect the 404 messages to the custom page or simply redirect it to the homepage.

1. htaccess redirection : You can simply add this code to your .htaccess file

ErrorDocument 404 index.php [to redirect it to your homepage]

ErrorDocument 404 /404.php [to redirect it to your custom error page named 404.php]

defined( ‘_JEXEC’ ) or die( ‘Restricted access’ );
header (”Location: /”); exit(); // add this line
