To be honest I didn’t need to do this for quite a while… which means I didn’t test it on newer versions of WP.

The only problem that I can think of would be the taxonomy tables: as you may know, since v2.3 a new taxonomy schema was introduced with 3 new tables in the database. It keeps the data regarding your categories, posts, tags and - most importantly - the relations between them.

In newer versions of WP (where we have the Export/Import function) I would go like this: create a new, temporary user. Assign the posts to be moved to this author. Go to Tools > Export and select the new user. Do the Export. Then move to the other blog and import the downloaded file.

THANK YOU.
This was great although I think step 11 should say “From the menu at the top select IMPORT”

At least that’s what it should have been on my version of phpMyAdmin.

thanks
Andrew

Did you try to switch to the default or classic theme? Sometimes, problems like this could be theme-related. Other than that I don’t know what to say - since I don’t have access to your site…

Wish I had found this post a few weeks ago when I was converting a blog to a new one.

Well it is bookmarked now.

Wonderful. Thank you. The last time I changed databases I “had” to hand transfer each file — like cut and paste and backdate. So I appreciate your smartness.

And for your records, my old database was using wordpress 2.0, the new one 2.0.5 — no problems there. I just had to add a plug-in and change the ID of a couple static pages.
