The plugin works perfectly
The plugin works perfectly. Great support.
Awesome support!
For the second time, I had to contact their support, and they're unstopable. They always respond briefly and investigated the problem, bringing a solution. I recommend them 101%!
Saves ton of time
I'm using the Pro version and it saves tons of time migrating from Joomla to Wordpress.The support is also good. The plugin is straight forward, although you need to know how to lookup database users, password and sometime whitelist IP-adresses in the hostings firewall to migrate.
Excellent plugin and even better support
We've used this plugin on several sites already before this one, and it keeps saving us an enormous amount of time on every Joomla-to-WordPress migration. It handles even fairly complex setups (K2 content, custom fields, categories, media) reliably. What really stands out, though, is the support. Frédéric has always answered quickly and in detail, and even walked us through an advanced case (reimporting specific old items without redoing a full import) with a working solution. Highly recommended.
Impressive
I successfully migrated two complex, content-heavy sites (including thousands of articles and hundreds of galleries) using this plugin. It is incredibly efficient. A must-have tool if you need to migrate from Joomla to WordPress without losing data. Five stars well deserved, thanks a lot !

Only 3 months of updates and riddled with bugs
UPDATE: Well, I was getting a bunch of errors in my debug log, and all pointed to the FG Joomla to WordPress. I keep it installed because if I turn it off, all my author aliases disappear. So I champed down hard on the bit and plunked down the Euros for the latest version. What a nightmare. First, I tried to create a support account at FG's support center, but I never got a confirmation email to verify my email. Nothing in Junk/Spam either. This means I can’t create a support ticket. Frederick also doesn't answer any emails I've sent to his support email. When I updated to the latest version of FG Premium, support for author aliases disappeared completely (the ONLY reason I still keep this plugin installed). I had to downgrade back to v3. UPDATE 2: Turns out all my emails were actually getting to FG support, but my email provider Comcast was discarding them without notification. I used the Comcast (Now Xfinity) webmail interface instead of my desktop email client, and there was nothing in the Junk/Spam folders from support. FG then used a different reply-to email that finally came through, with PDFs of their past responses to my earlier support requests. Foot in mouth, anyone? They are helping me with the issue, so let's hope no more updates. Raising my rating. *********************************** As you can see by the other reviews, people either hate it or love it. I'm a web developer who helps clients transition from Joomla to WP, and if the site is large, this thing stalls and quits constantly. The other bonus? You only get 3 months of updates, and you aren't notified in the backend when any updates are available! Now I'm stuck with the buggiest version on the planet, and the developer, while giving you a LIFETIME license, only provides 3 months of updates. What's the use of having a lifetime license if you can't get updates to fix all the bugs the developer created in the first place? Talk about having the consumer by the short hairs. There is also no discount program for people who have the so-called lifetime license, which would allow them to get updates at a discounted rate. You still have to PAY the full price again after only 3 months. More disturbing, the developer has the temerity to include a DONATE button on the PAID version! Now–and this is important–if you bought the premium version, please note it doesn't import items generated by popular third-party components. So if you have K2 or Joomfish or EasyBlog or Jcomments (and who doesn't have JComments or JomComments on a blog) or sh404sef, you have to purchase more plugins. And they ain't cheap either. A perfect example is Virtuemart, which will set you back another 69 Euros! Worse still, if he does provide an update, you don't get notified on the backend or even get a courtesy email from the developer to download the latest version before your subscription runs out. I had NO clue he had even updated the buggy plugins until it was too late and my 3 months were up. Sorry, but this is nothing but a greedy developer who provides a much-needed product at an exorbitant price for people transitioning from Joomla to WP.
