What does that mean? And if you imported before the move – why do it again? If you want WP in the root all you had to do was this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory) or this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site) * Thread Starter [SusanM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susanm/) * (@susanm) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531775) * Because once I moved it and moved all my old MT files, it was like a new install. * I tried doing the above but it would not work. I got a 404 error and I assumed that this was because of the MT files on my server, so I moved it all. * Is there a way to work around all of this? * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531782) * So you are wanting to import MT into WordPress? Did you do it from the import link inside of WP admin or what? * Thread Starter [SusanM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susanm/) * (@susanm) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531784) * yes is the answer to both questions. * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531786) * Is it possible to start over? Drop the tables in the db or the db itself. Set up WP where you want it – then do the import. I believe you’re having ths problem because the db was populated before the move and now it’s confused. :>) * Thread Starter [SusanM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susanm/) * (@susanm) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531787) * I actually considered that, but didn’t know if there would be a way to fix it without doing that. * I’ll give it a try. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [SusanM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susanm/) * (@susanm) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531790) * oh, before I do this…the WP files are where I need them, but will I need to delete it all, set up the new db and then add the WP files where I want them? * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531792) * Just set up the db then and run the install file. I think you should probably upgrade to 2.1.2, though, as 2.1.1 has a security flaw. If you do that, just overwrite all of the files but what’s in your wp-content folder. * Thread Starter [SusanM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susanm/) * (@susanm) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531798) * ugh. Well, I have now done this both ways and I am still getting an error message: * > The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/illusive/public_html/wp-content/ > uploads/2007/03. > Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already > sent by (output started at /home/illusive/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header. > php:16) in /home/illusive/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1219 * Any more ideas? * Thread Starter [SusanM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/susanm/) * (@susanm) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-problems-1/#post-531801) * **SUCCESS!** * I figured it out. I went in and deleted the upload folder, reset the chmod to 777, and away she went!
