Migrating from Ghost CMS to Grav

I would like to migrate from Ghost CMS to Grav because of more flexibility and multi-language features but I cannot find a theme that works similar (two-column layout with blog articles on the left and widgets on the right side) as my current theme Mapache.

Another issue is the migration itself. I have exported all the content from Ghost to JSON and then used ghost-to-md to convert it markdown files but now I don't how to use that output in a Grav friendly way.

Are there more information somewhere about these two topics?

@Peleke, Not sure what to think of this...

Looks like forgot to replace names here 🙂

@Peleke:

Maybe he's just deciding where to move, but simple copy paste feels like no research was done, because Kirby doesn't even look similar 🤔

Exactly I am looking for a flat file system CMS which I can move and modify easily and I am not sure yet if it should be Kirby or Grav, which seem to be the two best options in this category.

You'll still have a lot to do. I doubt your .md files will be ready to use as they are (I assume at least title in frontmatter would need to be added). Also you'd still need to get a template (find one ready and extend it or develop your own).

I don't think moving from one CMS to the other is easy in any case. Even with exporters

As I moved from Wordpress to Ghost some years ago I thought it would be easier nowadays.

It's probably easier, but not easy 🙂

switch CMS always depends on the data export / import functionality of the source/target CMSes, e.g., switch from Wordpress to Grav is relative easy as there exists an xml export for WP, and several WP Xml import methods for Grav - you can find these via search here.
for others (like Ghost), YMMV.

Maybe I migrate then to Wordpress first to then migrate to Grav?

if migrating from Ghost to WP is easy, then: yes.

I'm actually looking for something to import my WP xml data, and haven't come across anything here. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction? I want to move two WP sites over to Grav. Thanks.
