  • Go to the K2 forum, or simply download the latest build at the K2 site; it seems that after the WordPress upgrade, a broken/repeated banner and a realignment of columns as been a common problem for K2 users, but the latest nightly build will fix it; just be aware of your css changes and save that file.

    Well I never found it either, but I found this thread and it certainly straightened out my problem. Thanks!

    Oops! Sorry! I missed that step: choose “Movable Type and Typepad”

    Let us know if it works.

    Under your Dashboard/Tools/Import, you’ll see two options:

    Howdy! We’re about to begin importing all of your Movable Type or Typepad entries into WordPress. To begin, either choose a file to upload and click “Upload file and import,” or use FTP to upload your MT export file as mt-export.txt in your /wp-content/ directory and then click “Import mt-export.txt”
    Choose a file from your computer: (Maximum size: 2MB) ( ) Browse
    (Button: Upload file and import)

    Or use mt-export.txt in your /wp-content/ directory
    (Button mt-export.txt)

    Once you have the mt-export.txt (make sure it’s got the hyphen) in the wp-content folder on your server, all you have to do is click this second button on the WordPress Importer page and voila!

    Whew! Got it done finally, and here’s how:
    I did change the php.ini file to reflect the larger size by adding those two lines. However, the WordPress Importer still wouldn’t take it. So I tried plan #2, which was to duplicated and rename the export file (download_export.htm because it was done on a Mac) to the WordPress suggested mt-export.txt even though it wasn’t a txt file per se. I then uploaded it to my server at Lunar via Filezilla, filing it in the wp-content folder. Going back to the Worpress Importer, I then clicked on the choice to download the mt-export.txt file and lo and behold, it worked! all 5,309 entries, comments, images, were exported without a glitch (except for the permalink problem which is another whole can of worms).
    Thanks so much for your help guys!

    Typepad doesn’t show a way of exporting just portions; Tho I may be able to make a change in lunar’s import.txt and put it in there for retrieval. My php.ini file is:

    register_globals = Off

    zend_extension=”/usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.4.so”
    zend_extension_ts=”/usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_4.4_ts.so”

    [Zend]
    zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
    zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.3
    zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.3.3
    zend_optimizer.version=3.3.3

    zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
    zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so

    Thanks, Shane. But the 2 mb restriction is from the WordPress Import/Export page itself, and it refers to importing from a file on the hard drive rather than Typepad to WordPress direct. I think there’s another way, via the server and a change to import.txt that might take are of it.
