I have a somewhat custom task here... A portion of Wordpress installation (one category only) has to be converted into a forum (not forum's blog) cuz that portion of the site is splitting off since it grew too big.
The idea is to have a blog post turn into thread, while it's comments should be replying posts.
(a bit of introduction: category has 5 posts, and only one of them has over 900 comments. the point is to move that into a forum, then categorize it and split into a bunch of threads)
So I bought vBulletin (without blog option, no need for it), was happy to find out that Wordpress is supported by ImpEx, and ran a test on local copy...
Although I selected source as Wordpress and target as vBulletin (and not vBlog or whatever that other one is), I got the following message:
ImpEx Database errormysql error: Invalid SQL: DESCRIBE forum_blog importblogid
mysql error: Table 'lutrija_www.forum_blog' doesn't exist
mysql error number: 1146
Date: Sunday 13th 2008f April 2008 04:14:02 PM
Database: lutrija_www
MySQL error:
Now I can't even do a cleanup & restart cuz even those are trying to run this query... :-(
I'd say this action attempted to move them into blog afterall, which doesn't exists. So now I guess I have another, additional question too: how to reset this thing... I can't even access importer at all... :-(
Did anyone ever have a need to do this type of task? Any suggestion would be great, at least in what direction to go and how can this teoretically be achieved. I gotta do this, even if I had to write a custom script, so any help would be much appreciated... :-(
