Archival migration

This example is for stale blogs and historical sites where the goal is preservation more than active publishing.

.env

WP_URL=https://example.com
WP_USER=admin
WP_APP_PASSWORD=your-app-password

unpress.yml

source:
  type: xml
  xml:
    file: ./export.xml

media:
  mode: leave

resume:
  stateDir: ./.unpress/state

Command

pnpx @selfagency/unpress --config ./unpress.yml --generate-site --resume --out-dir ./out

Expected output

• static content in out/site/
• original media URLs preserved
• resume support for large XML exports

Good fit

Use this when you want to preserve the content structure with minimal moving parts and are comfortable keeping the original media host alive or archived separately.
