I want to convert my WordPress( self hosted) blog in to Vanilla Forum ( With 301 redirection).

It is enough to convert all post to vanilla discussion. I can set category manually. And I don't want to keep comment also. And I don't need images also which have in the posts.

What I want to is, I want to convert all post to vanilla forum discussion with 301 redirection because I need all Google traffic also my blog.

Is it possible? If it is possible how to do it?

Thanks.

WP and Vanilla are two different frameworks. You can't simply convert one into the other.

probably need to get your hands dirty in the databases and experiment, possibly ....

http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description
http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_posts

convert appropriate field from wp_posts and put it in the vanilla discussion table in column: body with your name as author.

look at the dummy database re: discussion table and modify it to contain all your wordpress blog post content, if you have images you may need to insert them some how via file attachments or changing inline code.

http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/26297/dummy-data-for-vanilla-2-1b2

and just put the content info from wordpress post in to the body of a discussion.

then you could probably use this
