Hello,

I’m trying to migrate my Wordpress blog to Ghost (latest version), but it doesn’t work as expected.

I have managed to export posts from WP both as json and zip. On local machine I tried importing both files and it sort of worked, but with duplicate html and body tags. I use default casper theme and beginning of generated html looks like this:

```
<section class="post-full-content">
<div class="post-content">
<!--kg-card-begin: html--><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html><body>

```

Does anybody have similar problem?

Regards,  
Djordje

Hi @djordje, in your original WordPress site do you have any plugins that may effect the content?

Well, there are few plugins. I will try to disable all the plugins and try again. Will update you.
