Import from a 1.5.x WordPress blog
-
Hello All,
I need to import wordpress data from an ancient 1.5x version of wordpress.
Tried http://technosailor.com/2006/07/05/wordpress-to-wordpress-import/
– Download brokenTried RSS2MT web-service. Only converter I could find borks on the RSS feed :(
Java RSS2MT file I found, also borks, but this time on my version on java.
Any ideas?

This is the wordpress.COM support forum but you have not posted the url for q wordpress.com blog. Are you referring to an import into a free hosted wordpress.COM blog or into a wordpress.ORG template?

Trying to import to http://nickcohen.net, a wordpress.COM hosted blog. I assumed that posting in the .COM forums would make it obvious, sorry! :-S
From the old blog, hosted on a server. At the moment, I’m probably going to have to look at finding the old wordpress packages, and upgrading one by one till I get to a version with export capability, though it would be nice to have a faster way…

With that old of version, it is probably best to contact staff directly. They may be able to help out. http://support.wordpress.COM/contact/

By the way, you can check the “WP.org” tag to get an idea of how far from obvious your assumption was: wrong visits are our number one problem in this forum. Would be good if everybody thought like you!

Upgrading release-by-release till we got the export feature did the trick.
Thanks for the comments :)
