   Two requests:

   1) I've tried to import to WP (v2.0.2) my old Movable Type blog data (v3.2) and I noticed the importer striped away some of my common used tags (AREA and MAP are just 2 of them). Can you solve this?

   2) I used a modified version of import-mt.php and it kept my MT post ids (also modified to export post ids) to the wp_posts table (with the auto-increment option SET!), but the comments were not correctly assigned to their respective posts, altough they were correcly imported to the database. Sugestions?!

   Just to let you guys know, I'm using:

   - Apache 1.3.34;
   - PHP 5.1.2;
   - MySQL 5.0.19;
   - WordPress 2.0.2;
   - Movable Type 3.2

   WordPress crew? Are you there? Am I doing something wrong? At least, gimme an answer! I know that importing post ids isn't the regular way, but the STRIPPED TAGS must be fixed! Can you help me? ANYONE can help me? I really wanna use WordPress instead of MovableType.

   WordPress has a built-in tag stripper. If you want to preserve your imported tags, you need to alter the behavior of this stripper.

   Actually, I have no idea to disable it, but managed to insert some additional tags into allowlist. You can find out $allowedposttags and $allowedtags in /wp-include/kses.php.

   But I don't recommend changing them directly. You may want to create my-hacks.php file and enable it in your admin page.

   My my-hacks.php file looks like this:

   
<?php
define('CUSTOM_TAGS', true);
$allowedposttags = //copy it from kses.php and modify
$allowedtags = //as above
?>


   PS: I don't think it's the best solution. Is there any better idea?

   I did these modifications and it worked. But I have to guess what tags I wrote in the past, alter the my-hacks.php, re-import data and see it working. Bumf!

   Here's my "my-hacks.php" for you guys who are having trouble importing your posts and have tags being stripped like I did:

   Hope these tags help you out. It worked for me.
