You should search the forums for previous posts about migrating to b2evo since I think there was a thread where I posted a script and instructions :p If you want the script, it is at https://sm.farook.org/files/b2evo2wp.phps
I believe there was something left out in the script and somebody posted on the forums about what I left out but I forget what it was. So please search the forums here. You have to have the latest version of b2evo running though (or at least the version that I wrote the script for) since it might not work for all versions of b2evo. Basically, try at your own risks and certainly after taking backups ??

This was a bug in WPBlacklist which is explained here https://sm.farook.org/index.php?p=139. I’ve fixed the problem and have released WPBlacklist 1.22 which you can get from https://sm.farook.org/files/WPBlacklist122.zip

WPBlacklist 1.21 has been updated to 1.22 – you can get it from https://sm.farook.org/files/WPBlacklist122.zip

Yes, WP supports XMLRPC and the XMLRPC link is fairly simple – <wp-dir>/xmlrpc.php :p

Any updates on this issue? I myself can use the WPBlacklist 1.21 plugin fine with WP 1.3 alpha 2 with no problems. Can’t seem to figure out what’s going wrong for others …

There is the WPBlacklist 1.21 :p You can get it from https://sm.farook.org/files/WPBlacklist121.zip

Actually, the DB structures are not that dissimilar – in fact, the latest version of b2evo seems to get even closer to the WP structures from what I saw of the structures in writing my b2evo to WP importer. But the problem seems to be that the b2evo database structures do change (or at least *have* changed) and so an importer script might not always work except for that particular release. Oh well :p

Could you send me an SQL dump of your b2evo data by any chance? If you can, a link to download the file from is sufficient, if you don’t want to e-mail me the stuff ??

OK, posted this yesterday but the server change seems to have wiped that one :p I’ve created a b2evo to WP importer and it seems to work fine on the test database that I installed. One thing to keep in mind is that though I do have an option to select the b2evo blog to import, it really doesn’t work – it simply all existing entries at the moment since I’m not sure how b2evo users want to import their entries due to the wacky category-based blog definition system b2evo uses :p Anyway, try the script out and let me know how it goes for you. It can be found at: https://sm.farook.org/files/b2evo2wp.phps

I’m using the latest b2evo to write my converter but I don’t think there has been too much of a change in table structures from older versions – though I might be totally wrong. Let me write the converter, we’ll test it out on your site and if it fails, then modify it accordingly ??

How exactly to *you* use b2evo? Do you have multiple blogs? Or just one blog with all the entries in that one blog? Since you are about the only one who seems to want a b2evo importer at the moment, I might as well tailor it to suit your needs ??

You’re welcome ??
Xadrian : I too want the ability to go through all existing comments after updating the list or adding new expressions to filter. Just gonna take me a while to get to it since I’m working on something else at the moment but I’ll eventually add that one in ??

My bad … gave the wrong URL. It’s corrected now ??

I’ve developed a WP 1.2 compatible version of the WP Blacklist plugin. If anybody is interested, you can download it from https://sm.farook.org/files/WPBlacklist12.zip
