Install wordpress 2.01 instead of fantastico's one! and it has the option of importing the posts from blogger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T100 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 I am afraid there is no easy way to do so, as Blogspot does not provide a standard sql file for you to manipulate and import into the new wordpress database. It is not as easy as migrating from a certain forum to another, as there are widely available scripts to edit the sql file into a new format. What you can do, I think, is the try the backup template http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/and see whether you can get a clean output of all the posts you have at blogspot and then try to insert in to wp_posts table in the correct format, if you really want to do so. However, it involves quite complex editing and I think you may better off just copy and post all the posts in the wordpress interface rather than playing with the database. (That's why I don't like blogs provided by certain providers. )Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serverph 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 ...Install wordpress 2.01... just straying a bit for a quick update. as of march 10, it's wordpress 2.0.2 already, which contains several bug and security fixes. in any case, if you download wordpress from their website exclusively, then you will always get the latest version.
