[Plugin: Joomla/Mambo To WordPress Migrator] Fails with empty WP table prefix

Disabling that check and running the converter (using the “multiple servers” option even though I have only a single server – it seems the option needs to be used if Joomla is in a different Database, too) it sort of worked.

“Sort of” means it turned nearly all my links and embedded images into plaintext by removing the opening bracket. I don’t see any system in this – sometimes the opening bracket is removed, sometimes the opening bracket and the a (from ‘a href’) and sometimes the links stay intact.

Also, it didn’t migrate any of the comments. That was the sole reason for me to use this tool.
