   hello , i have a joomla site running , ive been trying to convert it to wordpress the couple last days, but none of the converter are working ,when those with utf8 support are not able to import the arabic posts. As for normal english posts, it doesn't even import the post meta table , which creates a hole in the database.
   am thinking is there a way to export the articles from joomla as rss and import them to wordpress or have anyone found the solution to convert it the right way.
   ps i tried the converter with all wp versions

   ***help***please***

   I can’t get past step 1:

   Step One

   Okay, we’re connected to the Joomla/Mambo database.

   Now, we need to select the method you want to use to import your articles or links. (You should automatically advance to the next step, but if it doesn’t you can click the button.)
   Query failed

   SELECT * FROM mos_sections

   I’m trying to go from Joomla! 1.0.13 -> WP 2.9.2, bringing data from joomla at http://PerfumeCritic.com/joomla2 to wp at http://PerfumeCritic.com.

   Willing to pay for assistance via paypal.

   Not clear what all this means. I want to convert a Joomla site to WordPress. Can I? If so, how?

   Many thanks, Ipstenu, but when I go to the site, all I get is "Error establishing the site."

   Help, please.
