After migrating from TikiWiki, you will probably want to rewrite any old links to the new pages. In my case, all of my articles had a url ending articleXXX.html. If you have any links in the database that were using these names, you can find them with this:
grep -o “….article[0-9]….” dump.sql
Where dump.sql is a MySQL dump of your WordPress database. You can then update any articles using the WordPress editor accordingly.
To catch external sites that may have references articleXXX.html or (in Tiki’s default formats of tiki-read_article.php?articleId=XXXX or tiki-print_article\.php?articleId=XXX) then the following apache rules should do the job:
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.richii\.com(:80)?$ [NC]
rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/tiki-read_article\.php$ [OR]
rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/tiki-print_article\.php$
rewritecond %{QUERY_STRING} articleId\=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.richii.com/?p=%1 [R]
RewriteRule ^/article([0-9]+)([A-Za-z.]+)$ /?p=$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/article([0-9]+)$ /?p=$1 [R=301,L]
That should send people from articleXXX.html to /?p=XXX. Then, if WordPress is using SEO-friendly URL’s, it will then send folks to /seo-friendly-article-name
Whilst of the subject of links, it’s worth checking that all of your outbound links are good. A good module that can do this is Broken Link Checker. To set this up, first activate Broken Link Checker in modules. Then go to configure and select:
Which Links to Check: Add:
Embedded YouTube videos
Embedded YouTube videos (old embed code)
Embedded DailyMotion videos
Protocols and API’s:
YouTube API
Check the plugin website for more documentation of this plugin.
One nice WordPress Plugin is WPTouch. I’m not sure if there’s a similar feature in Tikiwiki, but this plugin converts a WordPress site into an application-like theme, complete with ajax loading articles and effects when viewed from the mobile devices like the iPhone, iPod touch, Android mobile devices, Palm Pre/Pixi and BlackBerry OS6 mobile devices.
The install is fairly simple, just search for WPTouch in the Plugins section and download and activate it.
To configure it, just go to Settings -> WPtouch
One option you may wish to disable:
Enable Email Menu Item (Uses default WordPress admin e-mail)
Finally, you will probably want a Contact Form of some sort. One that comes highly recommended in many guides is Fast Secure Contact Form. Install through the Plugins Menu and you’ll then the options under Plugins -> Fast Secure Contact Form Options. You can probably accept the defaults, but perhaps disable “Accept Meeting Requests via vCita”
