I also tried something but it didn't work…

I added after every mysql_connect() the following 2 lines

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'", $link);

mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8", $link);

It changed the text but know shows this kind of symbols Î¼Îµ ÏÎ¬ÏÎ¿Ï Î¼ÏÎ

Hi Theo,

First of all, thank you for this great plugin and for the step by step guide.

I managed to transfer all my articles with your wizard but with a crucial problem which I do not know how to fix.

My articles are in greek and now all the greek text is ???? . Do you know what I should change to your code to do the transfer right?

Hi,

Re "Query failed inserting into categories" – I've just had the same error and I believe it's due to changes in WordPress.

According to http://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#C… in v2.8 they removed a column from the _posts table, and when I call mysql_error() I get this:

Unknown column 'post_category' in 'field list'

Theo,

I got the same error message as above:

', '2009-07-07 05:00:00', '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'core-connection-lifestyle-is-now-on-facebook-and-twitter', '3')

Query failed inserting into categories

——————————————-

It appears as though the content is being moved, but then when I read further down past the content, I get the error above. Everything else seemed to check out (DB connection, etc.), so any assistance you could give would be appreciated.

And thank you for creating this application! I was a Joomla! head for years, but now that I'm on WordPress, life is just a whole lot easier to deal with! LOL!

Hoi Theo,

Ik kwam op jouw site toen het script van Zeem Khan niet werkte. Jouw script heb ik aangepast voor de locatie van de WordPress installatie (geen /wordpress, maar in de root folder). Connectie naar de database gaat prima, maar de export breekt af bij elke willekeurige sectie/categorie. Foutmeldingen als Step Three Query failed getting content from section ontstaan. Heb je een oplossing, want dit soort ongein houdt de overstap van Joomla naar WordPress inderdaad tegen.
