With the blog market cornered, WordPress is both able and eager to meet new challenges; as the platform has matured, so have its APIs and functionality.

The performance that is delivered in each new iteration of WordPress opens the software to an ever-expanding array of possibilities–Wikis, code gists, application documentation, customer management systems, and software services can now be easily (and enjoyably) conquered. This session aims to explore many of these unconventional applications of WordPress, as well as to encourage exploration into the many possibilities offered as the platform continues to advance.
Sometimes you may receive your WordPress export XML files broken up into chunks. When this happens, it can be cumbersome to import each file one-by-one. Instead, try throwing everything into a sub-folder and running the following shell script:

| # Iterate over all of the import files in a given folder. | |
| for f in myfolder/*.xml; do wp import $f --authors=skip --skip=attachment --url=localhost/example.com/; done |
