<del>I don’t know why it says get_header() is on line 1 of your index.php…
If installing and modding that ONE plugin is all that caused this, try deleting or renaming the plugin’s file. WordPress will then cease trying to load it.</del>

This can be a problem with the hostname, too. “localhost” is okay if you have your own server, but many hosting companies provide a separate URL for the MySQL portion of your account. When I had a small GoDaddy account, I had to enter a special hostname. With a larger account, I can use localhost. Check the documentation from your host.

Hmm, it worked for me… When you ask for technical help, you should be more specific, telling in detail what you DID. I tracked down your blogspot address and it looks like you didn’t use the template I provided above.

Follow the link, follow the directions, and everything should work just fine.

Here it is, folks: the workaround for Bloggers “No! Don’t leave! We were just getting to know eachother! I’m from Google! I can do no evil! DON’T MIGRATE TO WORDPRESS!! PLEEEEASE!!!!!”

Bloke, nobody has come forward with such a tool. It is unfortunate that their FTP publishing isn’t working.

If you can wait a few more hours, I’ll work out a new template that will help you use blog*spot to get your archives out of Blogger’s iron grip. I’ll post it here.

WordPress database error: [Table ‘wpmartin.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘permalink_structure’

It looks like WP is looking for a database named “wpmartin” and you left the default table prefix of “wp_”.

Use the MySQL command line interface to debug this:
show databases; to see if wpmartin is in the list.
create database wpmartin; if it’s missing.
Then try install.php again.

Cheers!

The dateYMDhour error is a bug in 1.5. It is fixed in 1.5.1, which will be released soon.

Yeah, it’s a bummer that it happens that way sometimes. But all that error means is that there was trouble creating the user record in your WP database. It’s not critical, because as soon as you’ve finished categorizing those 1000 posts, they’ll all show up with your WP Admin user as the author.

I bet you miss your comments, huh? Go here to get a copy of the import-blogger.php file I just hacked out. It has the added benefit of importing your Blogger comments. If you follow all the directions, it should work fine.

Cheers!

Vote Dolly!

Hi, all, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve hacked out an import-blogger.php script that imports comments, too. Don’t delete your Blogger blog! Get the script right here and drop it in your wp-admin folder.

Yes, it will even import the comments if you have already imported the posts and categorized them. The one weakness is that if you have changed the names or timestamps of any of your Blogger posts, the post will be re-imported and the comments attached to the new copy. Other than that, it’s a breeze.

Cheers!

Hey, everyone! I just finished testing my hacked import-blogger.php and it worked like a charm for my blog. What it does is basically the same as the original, with these modifications:
It imports all Blogger comments.
It skips duplicate posts but imports all comments for all duplicate posts. This is for those of us who have already used the non-comment importer. Be sure not to run this new importer twice because it WILL result in duplicate comments!
Let me just reiterate one thing here: if you run this twice on the same blog, you will wind up with twice the comments. I couldn’t get the dupcheck to work for comments. Sorry!

Here is the code.

Any bug reports are welcome. This was my first PHP project!

W00T! My import-blogger-with-comments.php can now parse Blogger comments! It worked like a charm on my blog and it even knows how to import comments for posts you have already imported and categorized.

Here is the code.

Not bad for a first PHP project, eh? Now, about submitting this for review inclusion in the next release… ??
