# Step 2 Error while importing from b2

 * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/step-2-error-while-importing-from-b2/)
 * I have search the forums for topics related to this but found no solution. I 
   was importing my b2 to wordpress and I run the import-b2.php file on my server.
   In step 2, there was this error…
 * WordPress database error: [Duplicate column name ‘post_excerpt’]
    ALTER TABLE
   wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_excerpt text NOT NULL;
 * WordPress database error: [Duplicate column name ‘post_status’]
    ALTER TABLE 
   wp_posts ADD post_status ENUM(‘publish’,’draft’,’private’) NOT NULL, ADD comment_status
   ENUM(‘open’,’closed’) NOT NULL, ADD ping_status ENUM(‘open’,’closed’) NOT NULL,
   ADD post_password varchar(20) NOT NULL;
 * That went well! Now let’s clean up the b2 database structure a bit…
 * WordPress database error: [Can’t DROP ‘ID’. Check that column/key exists]
    ALTER
   TABLE wp_posts DROP INDEX ID
 * One down, two to go…
 * So far so good.
 * WordPress database error: [Can’t DROP ‘post_karma’. Check that column/key exists]
   
   ALTER TABLE wp_posts DROP post_karma
 * Almost there…
 * WordPress database error: [Can’t DROP ‘ID’. Check that column/key exists]
    ALTER
   TABLE wp_users DROP INDEX ID
 * Does anyone know the reason behind this error and how to fix it? Help will be
   appreciated. Thank you… =)
