We’re in the process of migrating our journal website from WordPress to OJS. We’ve successfully transferred most of the data, but we need assistance with webpages, existing DOIs, and their associated web links:

  1. Webpage Transfer: How can we effectively move our webpages from the old website (WordPress) to the new OJS platform? What’s the best way to ensure a smooth transition?
  2. Existing DOIs: We have existing DOIs for our articles. What’s the recommended approach to maintain these DOIs in OJS while keeping them accessible to our readers?
  3. Web Link Management: Given the change in URL structure, how can we efficiently manage the transition of web links from our old website to the new OJS platform?

Existing DOIs were customily created and its associated webpages are customs WordPress webapges, while OJS has specific structure.

Any advice or guidance on these specific issues would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Sam_John,

Others who my have had direct experience with migrating a Wordpress site to OJS may wish to comment.

Webpage Transfer: How can we effectively move our webpages from the old website (WordPress) to the new OJS platform? What’s the best way to ensure a smooth transition?

I don’t know that there’s an easy way to do this. But if you have pages that don’t fit into the typical pages that are part of the OJS settings, perhaps consider having them as static pages: https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/en/settings-website#static-pages

Existing DOIs: We have existing DOIs for our articles. What’s the recommended approach to maintain these DOIs in OJS while keeping them accessible to our readers?

Which DOI registration agency are you with (Crossref?) You may be able to do some sort of batch import, if you are able to export ? How about are you going about getting your content into OJS (e.g. QuickSubmit, Native XML)?

Web Link Management: Given the change in URL structure, how can we efficiently manage the transition of web links from our old website to the new OJS platform?

Not entirely sure what you mean here - perhaps you could give an example of the types of linking you’re hoping to retain?
