Importing Categories from SQL

  • I’m currently moving my blogsome blog over to WordPress. I’ve got the posts imported fine, and I don’t think I’ll have problems with most of the other tables, but the Blogsome SQL dump included a “categories” table, which apparently doesn’t exist in WordPress now. Is there any way to convert them to tags?

    Also, there are a couple of tables I’m not sure whether to import or not: “post2cat” and “linkcategories”.

    “Options” is one that I think is best NOT to import? Or should I go ahead and just do it?

    One other question. I’ve been editing the tables in my SQL and occasionally there are rows that are “No” for the Null option but have a Default of “NULL”. For some reason it won’t let me set the Default to “NULL”.

    Also, could anyone tell me what the “Key” column and “Extra” columns are? In the “Extra” column, I’ve seen a couple with FK->wp_posts.ID…I’m not sure if I’ve got that part set properly. I’m looking at this site: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Database_Description

    More updates: got everything imported…basically. The comments are registering, but for whatever reason, the comment count doesn’t show up on the main page.
