Here is a quick tutorial, written in french (for the moment) but quite easily readable ( http://frenchw.net/2012/01/31/migrer-de-b2evolution-vers-wordpress/ ). The exporter is released as open source on github : https://github.com/FrenchW/MtExport Sorry for such link list, but, I really had low results in my initial search for help. Fred Hi,

There is no other way that you would get that error... I suggest you (re)download [url=http://www.realnitro.be/files/code/b2evo2wp_update2.php.txt]this[/url] script, copy it to your server, rename it to 'b2evo2wp.php' (as mentioned [url=http://www.sterry.me.uk/blog/2007/06/22/moving-from-b2evo-to-wordpress/]here[/url]) and it should work fine.

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.
