Importing Databases

  • I have tried unsuccessfully to import Textpattern and b2evolution databases into my SQL 5 databases for WP 2.1. There are error messages that neither database exists.

    Has anyone successfully imported these two programs?

    This is the message I get when I try to import my Textpattern archives:

    WordPress database error: [Table ‘leftflankblog.txptxp_category’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT id, name, title FROM txptxp_category WHERE type = “article”
    No Categories to Import!

    WordPress database error: [Table ‘leftflankblog.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘txp_cats’ LIMIT 1

    WordPress database error: [Table ‘leftflankblog.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
    INSERT INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload) VALUES (‘txp_cats’, ”, ”, ‘yes’)

    I look at those errors and I get the impression you’re trying to manually import a Textpattern database backup directly into a WordPress database.

    Surely I’m wrong?

    Could you be a bit more descriptive as to what you’re doing when you get these errors? You’re at
    Manage -> Import -> Textpattern
    right?
