Importing Posts With Images From Typepad

A little sql query line for it:

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, 'src="/old/image/path/', 'src="/new/image/path/');

I made it ‘src=”…’ to avoid conflicts, but if you used an url for your images (https://etc), that should be enough. But before you do this, BACK UP YOUR DATABASE. Even I, who deludes himself into believing he knows what he’s doing when around databases, backs up before making a change like this.

I need help. My blog is with Typepad not MT. I want to import all my posts to WP. What exactly do I need to do? I have already exported them & saved it as an import.txt file. Now I don’t know what to do.

Thank you,
Eilene

I don’t know that you can. My posts were all imported from Typepad but none of the pictures came with them. This is because your Typepad account holds all of the pictures you upload for usage in your posts.

Eileen, the instructions for the import into WordPress is here. But, as I had first logged, it doesn’t solve the issue of images in posts. Thanks very much to Kafkaesqui for the query, I will definitely try that!

I have also tried using this query to import my images from typepad into wordpress – but I don’t seem to be having any luck at all?

Is there anyone out there that can help – please:)
