how to export *some* categories of posts from WP 1.5 to WP 2.0

  • Hi!

    I’d like (if possible) to export *some* (not all) categories of posts from a WP 1.5 to a WP 2.0 blog. Is this possible without upgrading the 1.5 blog to 2.0?
    I’ve searched for it, but couldn’t find anything so far…

    Thanks!

    I have an XML export for a category you set at wp_config.php but it is for WP 2.0 here

    The good news is that all you have to do on 1.5 is change one line on Eric Pierce’s Export script
    https://epierce.blog.usf.edu/2005/04/26/wpexport-02

    On Eric’s MT.php change the SQL query to say which category you want. If you wanted Category 99 for instance you would do:
    $query = “SELECT $wpdb->posts.post_date, …yada..yada..yada..JOIN $wpdb->categories ON ($wpdb->post2cat.category_id = $wpdb->categories.cat_ID) WHERE $wpdb->post2cat.category_id = 99 “

    You can do a similar change on his SQL.php to get an SQL Export for the cat you want
