Got >90% of posts on 5.2 (imported 555 and ran it for one month to test, then 10-20 months at a time to not break anything)
Worked like a charm, saved me a major headache, and saved me 120 USD (someone’s selling a similar solution for that price!)
Had a few false finds, not sure why, going to look into the reason eventually, maybe I’ll remember to post!

Four years later and (nearly) two major-version Wordpress releases later and it still works flawlessly…gotta love well-written software. Using this in conjunction with the also ancient-but-fully-functional Tumblr Importer to help fleeing Tumblr refugees migrate safely to self-hosted Wordpress.
