Movable Type import not working at all! (2 posts)

    Installing WordPress was a breeze. But importing from my movabletype 3.2 installation proved to be impossible.

    For one, it breaks half way through, and I have to restart it to get the last 300 or so entries. Secondly, although the comments seem to be making it into the wp_"comments" table in the database ok, none of the "comment_count" feilds are updating so if you go to that post, it shows as having no comments when there should be 70.

    Also, this isn't really a "bug" per-se, but it bugged me (pun intended): The importer ignores all the keywords I have put into my movabletype posts. Wordpress doesn't support tagging? ...or at least the importing of tags?

    Please help, I'm going crazy over here and I'm out of options. I would write code to fix this, but not wanting to write my own code for this is why I came to wordpress in the beginning!

    Using MT keywords as tags isn't supported, you'd need to hack the importer to fit your custom usage.

    If you run upgrade.php after the import it should clean up all the comment counts.
