Title: Upgrading from textpattern Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Upgrading from textpattern * Stephan * [22 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-from-textpattern/) * I am currently running my site on textpattern, but due to several missing features I want to upgrade to wordpress. Is there an easy way to keep my entries and comments? I remember reading about a conversion path when I first heard about wordpress a while back..

I get the following error: [http://www.yauh.de/wordpress/b2comments.post.php](http://www.yauh.de/wordpress/b2comments.post.php) Any idea what I should do? Thanks in advance! * Thread Starter Anonymous * [22 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-from-textpattern/page/2/#post-25225) * OK, here’s what I did, the whole story: I uploaded the lates wp gold, plus import- textpattern and the b2-include folder. Then I couldn’t log in anymore, the following error occured: Since you’re a newcomer, you’ll have to wait for an admin to raise your level to 1, in order to be authorized to post. You can also e-mail the admin to ask for a promotion. When you’re promoted, just reload this page and you’ll be able to blog. 🙂 The database told me, that I still have level 10, so something is probably going wrong. Then I re-installed the gold version of wp and things worked great, just noone could comment any more. Now I am uncertain what to do about it, if anybody has any ideas, they’re greatly appreciated.

Sorry about that! Very glad to hear it worked out. This will be included in the next release and updated if/when Textpattern is. If the demand is higher, it could be tweaked a bit, but since it works now, groovy. * Thread Starter Anonymous * [22 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-from-textpattern/page/2/#post-25228) * My bestest (SIC!) chrismas present, thankyou Santa!! Stephan * Thread Starter Anonymous * [21 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-from-textpattern/page/2/#post-25330) * I’ve run the import script (I’m using Textpattern · g1.19) and it’s not really working. I’m getting a bunch of database errors while I’m sure the database info is correct. Anyone else having trouble importing their Textpattern blog into Wordpres 1.2 ? * [renegrass](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renegrass/) * (@renegrass) * [21 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-from-textpattern/page/2/#post-25331) * Hi allusion, I’m pretty suprised how friendly and helpfull you admin, developers and the hole wp community is. Thats not the common way, what you see in the internet. Most time its: Take what you get and then the hell out of here (here = other places) (Sorry I’m just suprised) Rene * Thread Starter Anonymous * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrading-from-textpattern/page/2/#post-25342) * I’m having the exact same problem.
