Hi, since I’ve found this useful post, I’d like to ask you some help with the Polaroid Theme.
More specifically, I would like to add the name of the author both at the beginning of the post (under the title of the post actually) AND on the polaroid, if possible.
Moreover, I would like to know how to translate the date of the post from English into Italian (now it’s September, while I’d like the month name to be in my language).
Thank you for helping out!

Hi please can anybody give me a little advice on this? I can’t really fix it by myself ??

Ok, everything is fixed!

The problem was that the .sql database was not working – even after incremental updates from 2.0.12 to 2.9.1 – while with an export xml from 2.9.1 I could obtain all the posts and comments – and now the new site has everything, included pages, categories, comments, etc.

Thanks for the support.

He upgraded version by version and still in the import there is just 1 comment per post.
In the .xml the comments are all there, the problem is that they are not “processed” when imported, but I can read each of them in the exported file!
That’s what sounds really strange!

LOL, thank you!

We will try what’s explained in the ticket you suggested. I’ll get back to you as soon as my administrator makes an attempt (I cannot undestand what we should do, hopefully he will)!

Thank you, we will try. Up to now, even with an incremental upgrade to 2.9.1, I still see only 1 comment per post!

The problem is that I do not have access to the old version of WordPress.
My administrator told me he upgraded till 2.9.1 but the strange thing is that he always gets an .xml file, and not a .wxr! So I think there’s something wrong…

I’ll try to find out if something went wrong in the upgrade, but which one could be the cause of not getting a .wxr file from the WordPress Export?!

Update: even updating to the version 2.1, I still have the comment issue.
We are now trying to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.9.1, version by version.

The strange thing is that only comments go lost: all the other information are kept (categories, authors, anything).

Is this normal also in the “official” Export WordPress feature?

Ok, so I’ll try updating the version – I don’t really want to lose all the comments ??

Updates soon!
Thanks again.

Ok, here we go. The WordPress-to-WordPress plugin was successfully installed on version 2.0.12. Thanks to it, I exported an .xml file that I imported in the 2.9.1 version.
Now, I have thress issues, one minor and two major:

1- it seems that I have only ONE comment per post. If I had several comments, now there is only one. Since my blog dates back to 2004, I would like to keep all the comments… Is this a known issue? Any suggestion? (The exported comment is always the LAST one in the post)

2- I cannot find my links. Yes, it’s not a big issue, but since I have several, I would like not to write them one by one again…

3- I cannot find my Pages – the plugin just exported the posts. I have few pages, so I can recreate them – but I would like to know if I have done anything wrong

Meanwhile: thanks a lot. I am really moving to the new version thanks to you!

Thank you, the first attempt will be installing the plugin you told me – I have no access to all the directories of my old 2.0.12 database, so my administrator will have to install it asap).
I have already installed the plugin on the new WP website, as soon as I can try with the old one I will tell you how it goes…

Otherwise I’ll update to version 2.1.

Otherwise I’ll ask someone “up there” to lend a hand ^_^

Sorry, found the answer downloading and replacing the function.php file inside the wp-includes folder with this https://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/cafelog/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php?rev=1.270

I have the very same problem and don’t know how to manage it.
I have subscribed to my feed RSS just to keep updated on new comments, but the function embedded in WP doesn’t work anymore…

I do not have this kind of problem, I can’t figure out what it can depend on…
Sorry…

Thank you so much!
This code really works!
