I’m sure most of this is because my b2evo blog was multi-blogs with subdomains. * [acidtrip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acidtrip/) * (@acidtrip) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-from-b2evolution/page/2/#post-895450) * Actually, I was wrong. It didn’t miss things from December, it changed the date to Jan 4th for some reason? At least it looks like it got most of the content. * [acidtrip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acidtrip/) * (@acidtrip) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-from-b2evolution/page/2/#post-895451) * Actually, I was wrong.

So I used “bodum”‘s Link on the post in this thread and it worked perfect: [http://stuff.wannawork.de/import-b2evolution-wp2.php.txt](http://stuff.wannawork.de/import-b2evolution-wp2.php.txt) * [stefan78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stefan78/) * (@stefan78) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-from-b2evolution/page/2/#post-895481) * Hi, I used the link above to import my posts. * The guys down at Hostmonster helped me set up the SQL and I ran the script as is… it did import on of my categories but left out all the rest… * I got 34 of 150 or so posts… anyone with some help to these error messages? * _All right sparky, this is where the actual import takes place!
