Here you go, its ready and working smoothly on 2.3.2 ! This
helped me put my SQL Join skills to task. If you look at the code you will see
how the new Taxonomy setup works in the new DB Schema.

Thanks Chris, love your site!

I have not been unsuccessful in getting the conversion utility to work.

I downloaded the 2 files
Created the export folder
Modified config.php
with my correct Joomla and Wordpress SQL settings.
Make sure the index.php
had the correct (jos_) prefix. I used find and replace. Saved both files and
then placed them in my export folder located in my wordpress directory.

I then went to the index.php file in my browser. I click on step one. I then
choose my Joomla category I want to export. It brings me to the next page and
then I choose the Wordpress category I want to import to. I then get a response:
Importing 0 items finished. I had 143 items in that category. I tried this for
every single category section you name it. It always says Importing 0.

I have Wordpress 2.2.2 ( download the old WP 2.0.1 same results) and have
Joomla 1.0.12

I did testing and changed the users password and databases to see what errors
would appear. The utility always shows errors when the config.php has the
incorrect settings. When the correct settings are in place the utility will
finish and say again “Importing 0 Items finished”. I doubled checked and made
sure the index Php had all the correct database prefixes. It never imports
anything. All my categories show up just fine for Joomla and Wordpress in the
conversion utility. So it must be seeing and accessing the databases just
fine.

I have read all the posts and tried everything I can and still can’t get it
to work. Joomla has been great but want to explore my possibilities with
Wordpress.

The only way I can get my data over is to import via RSS file in WP 2.2.2.
This will import each category into uncategorized. I then have to go into the WP
SQL database and change the category ID for each Item to what I want it to be.
If I import one category at a time and make the changes it can work without
confusion. But it would be sure great if I could use this utility. It will save
me hours of work.

Any help or suggestions would be great! I have hundreds and hundreds of
posting that I need to move over.

Sincerely,

LM
