Import & Export

You can migrate articles from another blogging platform by importing a single file in Admin.

In order to import your posts, you have to transform them into format that Bytebard understands - JSON. Below an example of such post:

{
    "posts": [{
        "slug": "my-blog-post",
        "title": "My blog post",
        "description": "Description of my blog post",
        "content": "This is my blog post\n\nIt has multiple paragraphs\n\n## This is a heading\n\nThis is a paragraph after heading",
        "date": "02/16/2022"
    }, {
        "slug": "my-second-blog-post",
        ...
    }]
}

Following fields are available to set:
