Is there a way to copy my Joomla Articles into K2 (other than cut and paste)?

This would be awesome for my existing sites so I can take advantage of K2's awesomeness!

There is an option called "Import Joomla articles" in the k2 dashbooard. Your articles will be copy into K2. Then, you have to hide or delete your Joomla articles.

Doh! - I was afraid I was missing something simple like that.

Thanks!

Why don't I see it?
NVM... just spot it 8)

Where did you spot it? it's very well hidden from my perspective (i.e. I can't see it either :op )

Is there any way to limit the import to a particular section/category? I don't want to import ALL 500+ articles, just ones I delineate...

That would be a big huge help...

Are you comfortable with using databases in easyphp? if so then try the following.

backup your database, put the site in maintenance mode (so no one can use it while you do that). Delete the articles you don't want, import the rest, then put the others back into the joomla database?


I found I needed to delete the joomla articles now being used by K2 fairly early on as occasionally the SEO was getting confused.
