Can you import WordPress comments and authors?

Yes, we migrate comments and author mappings where supported by October CMS or provide alternatives such as Disqus integration or native commenting.

Do you keep the same URLs?

Wherever possible, we maintain the same URL structure. If changes are necessary, we implement 301 redirects for every changed URL to preserve SEO.

Is October CMS a good choice for a simple site?

Yes, October CMS can be used to build a simple site, such as a business card website or landing page. It offers user-friendly tools for quickly creating basic websites. However, it is also powerful enough to handle more complex projects like online stores or marketplaces that require custom development and advanced functionality.

Will my SEO traffic drop after migrating?

If 301 redirects, metadata, canonical tags, and sitemaps are handled correctly, most sites experience little to no long-term traffic loss. Proper planning and monitoring are essential.

Can you migrate custom post types and custom fields?

Yes, we map custom post types to Tailor blueprints or plugin-based content structures and migrate all fields, preserving dates and author data.

How long does a migration take?

Small-to-medium sites typically take 3–10 business days on staging plus QA. Larger sites with thousands of pages or complex functionality take longer. We provide a timeline after the audit.

Does October CMS have the same problem of plugin redundancy as WordPress?

No, October CMS is designed to minimize the same problem of plugin redundancy found in WordPress. Its plugin ecosystem encourages unique, non-overlapping functionality, reducing redundancy and ensuring efficient site performance.
