I think there is a couple of things about import-b2.php that need fixing. I went through it the other night and found it does almost all the work, correctly. It is the changing the table prefix thing that I was curious about. It should all be less painful, in any case. Thanks, Brett.

The reason is that frankly the prescribed b2 import scripts that come with wordpress are useless. I had no end of trouble with it and never did get it to work. I ended up finding some perl script that did it and used the queries out of it to manually extract the data and import it into wordpress - painful? yes, but there wasnt any other option. Its good to see that there now seems to be a set of steps that work. :) Hi, A few months ago i converted my old b2 blog to wordpress, and i think i can answer your question about why you have to follow the steps as opposed to the prescribed upgrade or import procedure.
