Please have a look at the FAQ for the answer: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fg-joomla-to-wordpress/faq/

hi kerfred i did look at the faqs but couldn't find anything can you please relate specifically?

- export the Joomla database to a SQL file (with phpMyAdmin for example)
- import this SQL file on the same database as WordPress
- run the migration by using WordPress database credentials (host, user, password, database) instead of the Joomla ones in the plugin settings.
