Wordpress to Joomla converter update
Dan) | under Uncategorized I have updated the converter to remove the debug code.
I tested this with Wordpress 2.7.1 and Joomla 1.0.x.
Please ensure you configure each of the database sections correctly. I have receieved a lot of support requests where people are getting “Table does not exist” errors, these in each case have turned out to be a result of a miss configuration in the converter config file.

Well I tried it with joomla 1.0.15 which is the lowest version I could get hold off and trying to go from wp 2.7.1
First error Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /…../wp2Joomla/categories.php on line 51
I did somehow get around that but further errors persist so script isnt working as it should.

an invalid argument in foreeach, would indicate that the SQL statement was failing. The SQL statement is 100% correct and tested with multiple versions of wordpress. The only way the SQL stament can fail is if the configuration is incorrect. If you can send it to me I will be happy to take a look.

Hi, first of all, thanks for this fantastic script!
I was trying to use it but I couldn’t finish the process 100% correctly.
I was able to import users and categories, but not comments and posts.
I found also a bug in file: content.php line 130, it says foreach($items as $item) {, and it must be …. foreach($item as $item) {
Anyway, even fixing that I get the following errors (Warnings)
One at the top of the page and one at the footer.

This is when I’m on page content.php
If you could help me, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
