I got my SQL database imported through a suggestion from a friend. changed the code to

CREATE TABLE wp_categories (
cat_ID bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
cat_name varchar(55) NOT NULL default ”,
category_nicename varchar(200) NOT NULL default ”,
category_description longtext NOT NULL,
category_parent bigint(20) NOT NULL default ‘0’,
category_count bigint(20) NOT NULL default ‘0’,
PRIMARY KEY (cat_ID),
KEY category_nicename (category_nicename)
) AUTO_INCREMENT=6 ;

I did this for all the tables.

I still don’t have my blog up and running (due to other issues completely) and I don’t know what changes I made to the content – if any. But it did import.

Hi drmike

I am running version 5.0.27 at home and 4.1.13 on the new server. I entered ‘none’ in the SQL export compatibility box during export.

Thank you both. I’ve had a quick look and creating a static front page looks like the way to go.

Thanks again.

The impression I get is that I can either build a website and then put all the blog info in one folder or have wordpress at the root level and use it to build pages with the write page option.

What I can’t figure out is how to have blog information on two levels. All of my blog to live in mysite.com/blog but the latest posts a folder level down (root level) on the home page at mysite.com

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
