Moving a website from TYPO3 to WordPress is a strategic decision for your company. We would be happy to advise and support you with your project.
The reasons for and against switching to WordPress
Do you want to move your shop? Here to the Move from WooCommerce learn more.
For a move speaks to WordPress:
- Your current TYPO3 does not allow the connection of further software systems.
- Your current TYPO3 closes security gaps too slowly or is not legally compliant.
- You have a customised TYPO3 and your agency provides the support.
- You are missing important TYPO3 functions to successfully market and further develop your website.
In favour of remaining speaks for TYPO3:
- Your employees need to learn and use WordPress.
- Your current ranking in search engines is at risk (SEO). The SEO power must also be transferred.
- You need a new agency that doesn't know your business processes and has to familiarise itself with them.
- Existing connections to other software systems must also be moved.
Replacement of TYPO3 as a new start with professional support
TYPO3 was a very popular content management system (CMS) in the 1990s and early 2000s. It is still on the market and has been continuously developed further.
The result is a powerful content management system, which is no longer the first choice these days. Its market share is constantly decreasing.

Experience as an agency with data migrations from TYPO3 to WordPress
Thanks to past projects, we have a wealth of experience in the optimal procedure for moving from TYPO3 to WordPress. One important realisation, for example, is to always move the data first and only then start with design and functions.
Nevertheless, every TYPO3 website has a slightly different structure. Different versions, customisations and installed extensions lead to individual concepts and procedures.
Our toolbox is well stocked from more than a dozen moves from TYPO3 to WordPress and will also contain the right tool for your project.
Methods of data migration from TYPO3 to WordPress
The content of the existing TYPO3 website can, in principle, be taken over by us. They form the basis for the new WordPress website.
It is important that we do not proceed "blindly", but always focus on the user experience. Because this is the only way Search engine optimisation (SEO) for the new page. URLs that no longer appear on the new page or have changed are of course forwarded by us via 301.
You can see an overview of the common methods of data migration from TYPO3 to WordPress here.
Manual method with Copy&Paste
If you only have a few pages or posts, simply copying and pasting is a practical method. However, texts, images, tags and categories must be copied and pasted individually into the WordPress page. With more than 100 pages, this is a strenuous task, as you have to remain very focussed at all times.
Nevertheless, mistakes happen again and again with this method, which have to be corrected in the second pass.
Semi-manual method
CSV export and import via WordPress (if necessary with plugin)
TYOP3 offers the function of a CSV or XML export of data. If pages, posts, comments and images can be exported as CSV or XML, this is a possible method for migrating data to WordPress. As the data structure of TYPO3 does not correspond to that of WordPress, the fields must be "mapped".
If data fields are transmitted that WordPress does not provide, these must be sorted out or ignored. Conversely, WordPress may require data fields that do not exist in the old TYPO3 website. These must then be added manually or filled in with a default value.
A WordPress plugin like e.g. WP All Import can make it easier to assign the data fields. Nevertheless, with this method advanced knowledge of WordPress is required to implement a successful data migration.
Automated import and export
There are service providers who specialise in website data migration. One of the first providers is wordherd. The company from the USA offers automated data migration from TYPO3 to WordPress. The service is subject to a fee and is initially based on the number of entries (pages, posts, images, comments).
However, as many website owners do not achieve the desired result with automated data migration, you can also purchase customised support from these providers. The company claims that the success rate is very high. However, we cannot confirm this, as a complex data migration also goes hand in hand with good communication in the native language (German).
Professional data migration
Of course, the path via a professional Internet agency The safest way to transfer the data completely from the current TYPO3 to WordPress. With a complex data structure, not only do fields have to be assigned, but fields may also have to be linked or separated.
Data from connected software systems or customised developments must also be taken into account and can only rarely be transferred correctly by a standard solution.
In addition, there is the Possibility to optimise the data. Either for improved usability or to improve the Search engine optimisation (SEO).
We are happy to be your partner for a successful data migration. Please note that we only Data migration to WordPress carry out!
