Benoit: Did you install wordpress on your server before using my script?

I am trying to use the script - understand that I am a newbie to PHP. I get the following error:

b2Evolution file path: http://benoit.marcoux.ca/blog/media/
WordPress file path: /

Importing User records …
0 User record(s) imported!
Importing Category records …
Invalid query: Table ‘bmarcou_wordpress.wp_categories’ doesn’t exist
SQL : INSERT INTO `wp_categories` (`cat_name`,`category_nicename`,`category_description`) VALUES (’G�n�ral’,'G�n�ral’,”);

Can you help me?
Thx

I think you’re still using the old script from Appleyard’s blog. There is no other way that you would get that error… I suggest you (re)download this script, copy it to your server, rename it to ‘b2evo2wp.php’ (as mentioned here) and it should work fine.

Just noticed that the error I’m getting above is the same error that caused you to rewrite the original script from Appleyard’s blog. Possibly this means that the newest b2evo has once again made the script obsolete. I certainly hope someone finds out how to bring it up to date again. I’d really like to switch my blog over.

This is all the page says:

All right sparky, this is where the actual import takes place! Do you feel lucky today? :p
Importing User records …
Invalid query:
SQL : SELECT DISTINCT evo_users.* FROM evo_users, evo_posts WHERE evo_users.`ID`=`post_author` AND `user_login`’admin’

That’s it. The rest is a blank page.

Diane, I can’t figure out what is going wrong. It seems to me the error you posted isn’t complete. Is there any more error output?

Just tried to run your updated script and got this error when actually tried the import:

SQL : SELECT DISTINCT evo_users.* FROM evo_users, evo_posts WHERE evo_users.`ID`=`post_author` AND `user_login`’admin’

Since I don’t know a thing about this stuff, it could be user error rather than a problem with the script. My installed b2evolution software is 1.9.3 while I just installed the latest WP.
