Importing to wp-posts table

I finally found the way to bring my old posts from an early version of WordPress (that would not run an export plugin) to my new blog. I exported a .xls file from the old blog database table using /phpmyadmin, then reset the ID’s to 0 and saved it as a .csv file, to import in the new blog table. Using the bug fix needed was to use “Load Data” option and change ‘;’ to ‘,’ for the “field terminated by”.

So now I have all the posts from my old blog in my new blog’s table, and they’re not showing up on the blog, nor found using wp-admin in the blog.

So something is not recognized. I don’t see wp-postmeta data for them, for example. Would that cause them to not appear? Is there a command to get WordPress to read its wp-posts and refresh its other lists?
