Pulse 4.6.2 is here today with deeper blog migration and more fixes

Yeah… more updates! :zap:

So many cool things packed into this one. Blog importer/migration tool, is a lot more in-depth - it’s a more flexible approach to different kinds of sources and will loop through even long and heavy WordPress blogs over multiple pages with 100s of blog posts! There’s more compatibility with specific blog platforms like Tumblr and RapidWeaver’s Armadillo as well as other various little improvements, fixes and :bug: crushed.

Best of all, it’s a FREE update to all 4.x license holders and really easy to update. Just replace all files on your Pulse folder (except for “content” and “template” - which contain your template files, page content, blocks and media). More on the details of the update and how to do it below.

More can be found on the migrate page about blog importing.

OK, without further ado…

How to get it

  • Free update to all 4.x users!
  • If you’re on the email list, it’s already been emailed out (or will be soon!)
  • If have 4.5.2, click the “download” link in the admin UI.
  • If you have neither the above, sign up to the mailing list and get it!

Don’t forget to buy your license for using Pulse on a live / remote server!

How to install it
