i decided to try moving some of my database info over manually, i started with the categories since it’s a small table and not dependant on anything (i think). so i dumped b2categories, fixed the SQL statement to add the extra 3 columns, inserted it into wp_categories…and nothing. i still only see “general” on index.php, although they all show up fine under /wp-admin/categories.php. hmmmmmm, any ideas? dumping the comments over seems to be working though. haven’t tried dumping b2posts yet.
i’d still like to know what’s wrong with the b2import script, even if it’s my own ignorance. if i’d known upgrading was going to be this much of a hassle i would have prepared my db info beforehand, or possibly put the whole thing off longer.
