• i want to upgrade from B2. i’ve read the instructions and i’m still wary. if i simply reinstall new versions of each file, will my archives be saved? do i save certain files and reinstall the old ones with my archives? perhaps i just don’t understand how these things work. any advice/help would be appreciated. thanks.

  • Just take the backup of the database and the B2 Installation folder and go ahead.
    If you have a customised index.php file. you will have to make it again.

    I backed up all my files and upgraded from b2 to WP a few months ago when it first came out. Never had a problem. Just follow the directions to the letter for upgrading and you will be fine. 🙂 Then come back here and let us know how you did and your address so we can visit~

    Your archives are stored separately in the database you set up when you first installed b2, so uploading new files can’t overwrite them. I was also hesitant about switching, but I found the upgrade process very smooth.

    I”m at a loss here. I’m trying to upgrade now, and am having a lot of troubles. Can someone explain to me in very simple terms how this is done? Pleeease! 🙂

    I am upgrading from b2 0.6.2 to WP 1.0 platinum and came across this when importing info from b2
    In line 62 – 63 of admin/import-b2.php there are two .php’s –> “.php.php?step=1”.
    Have you looked at the readme? If you’re all ready, let’s go!
    Same in lines 189 – 190
    Did you defeat the boss monster at the end? Good, then you’re ready for
    Step 2.
    I deleted the second “.php” and all was well in both cases.
    However, in line 247, I get this – Now there is one more step to the upgrade process. Continue upgrade
    Problem here is that the file “upgrade-071-to-072.php” doesn’t exist in the download.
    Where would this file be?

    Thanks!
    That seems to have worked.
