2. Click on Export under Tools and select the posts option.
3. Download the XML file and rename it to personal_data.xml.

Run main.py

1. Place the files main.py and personal_data.xml in the same folder.
2. Create a folder named files in the same folder as main.py.

BOOM! All of your wordpress entries are imported to DayOne.

Now, in DayOne Preferences > Advanced click Convert all hashtags to Native tags and BAM! all your imported entries will be tagged with the same tags as in wordPress journal.
