Joomla to WordPress Migration in Perth
Moving Perth organisations from Joomla to WordPress, where the URLs are the part that catches people out. Joomla addresses frequently carry internal article and category identifiers, so the redirect map cannot be generated from titles — it has to be built from the identifiers themselves, one existing address at a time.
Why this comes up
The problem
Every page address contains a Joomla article ID, and none of them can be reproduced on the new platform.
What you get
What we deliver
- Existing URLs exported with their identifiers rather than reconstructed from titles
- Redirects mapped per address, since patterns cannot be inferred reliably
- Articles and categories migrated into a sensible WordPress structure
- Extensions inventoried, with a WordPress equivalent decided for each
- Users migrated with the password reset process communicated in advance
- Media transferred with in-content references rewritten to the new locations

Joomla to WordPress Migration in Perth — common questions
- Why are Joomla URLs a problem?
- Because many contain numeric identifiers rather than readable paths. There is no rule that converts them into WordPress addresses, so the redirect map is assembled from an export of the actual URLs — attempting to generate it from titles produces mismatches nobody catches.
- How do we find every existing URL?
- By crawling the live site as well as reading the database. Search engines may hold addresses that no longer appear in navigation, and those still carry traffic — so the definitive list combines what is published with what is actually being requested.
- What happens to Joomla extensions?
- Each needs an equivalent chosen deliberately. Forms, galleries, event listings and membership functionality all come from extensions, and their WordPress counterparts behave differently — so this is a rebuild of the functionality rather than a transfer of it.
- Do user accounts transfer?
- The accounts do; the passwords generally do not, because the two platforms hash them differently. Members therefore need to set a new password, which for a membership site is worth announcing in advance rather than discovering at the login screen.
- Do you work with businesses across Perth and Kinross?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Perth and the surrounding Perth and Kinross area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Perth businesses do you usually work with?
- Corporate systems with formal procurement on one side, and straightforward agricultural and retail tooling on the other. Beyond that we work across Insurance & Financial Services, Agriculture, Tourism, Energy and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Perth?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Dundee, Stirling, Dunfermline. Perth is an urban area of roughly 50,000+, and we take on work across the wider Perth and Kinross region rather than the city boundary alone.
