• Okay, before I start doing anything, I have some questions about updating to wordpress from B2:
    Is this the right way of doing things (I think I have b2-0.6.something, so should be easy)
    1) Edit wp-config.sample with my old info from B2? I mean the database tables specifically (of course the url and all that are the same, it’s the db I’m wondering about)
    2) Replace old B2 files with files with same name from wordpress download…or are the ones with the same name just the same and don’t need replacement?
    3)Can I leave the index file for what it is?
    I backed up my database and all files, so I can ruin things, but I’d rather do it right in one try…

    4) And as for the table names…leave them as they are in the wp-config, or change the five that I already use in B2 to their old names and leave the rest… ? I hope this question makes sense, I can’t find a better way to say what I mean.

    When I switched from b2 to WP, I used the same table names in the config file. I backed up all my b2 files, then I uploaded WP and overwrote everything. I went in and changed the 2 files that I needed to for my hacks to work and I was fine. Back up everything! ??

    Thanks! Yeah, I already made backups of everything! Even things that are not B2 related at all, just in case I manage to wreck everything =P

    Good idea Eva! I always manage to muss a file that I know I can make work! ?? I have just gotten into the habit of uploading a file to backup then working on the live file through FTP. I guess there could be worse habits!
    Post your url when you have switched over so I know you did it! ??

    Well,I’m mostly done. I just need to do a few little things to make it all work better, but I’ll do that later.
    I ended up deleting everything, and the slowly building it back by adding my personalized things. My layout is all done with php includes (changable skins) so it was easy!
