    Did you look at crushlabs.com? I’m not recommending them, as I know nothing about their services etc., but they do offer a service for conversion. Although it would cost you to get it done, it may be worth it so you wouldn’t lose data. Plus, depending on what your permalink structure was, you could perhaps have that preserved so your site doesn’t end up with a ton of 404’s with search engines. Here’s the info from crushlabs:

    Note to moderators: That’s not my site, and I’m not spamming – lol.

    You might want to also take a look at this thread, if you haven’t already:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/278593?replies=17
    It covers some info with user conversions.

    Oh, that’s too bad. I was hoping what I was thinking of was open source. Do they have a free trial version? LOL.

    What if you tried it in a round-about way…

    Joomla offers the WordPress blogging extension, plugin or component (can’t recall which it is). If you were able to install WordPress via that avenue on your Joomla site, get your blog posts moved into there first. Then see if you could create an export file from the WP blog platform from within your Joomla site, to then in turn import into your WordPress blog (apart from Joomla).

    It might be a workaround for your challenge, but I don’t know if it can even be done. Just a suggestion, if it’s a possibility. Good luck.

    Hi NeedforName,

    At this point, you don’t need to look at any files in the back end. Before you disable your plugin, look at your source code from the front end of your site to see what your blog tagline shows. From your browser window, go to ‘View’, and then select ‘Page Source’. When that window opens, then select ‘Edit’ and then ‘Find’. In the text box that appears in that window bottom, then type in your blog tagline, as you entered in your WP admin panel, and see if it comes up. Look for it within the codes I showed you above, and also look for it here:
    <title>Your Blog Name - Your Blog Tagline</title>

    If the tagline is not correct, and doesn’t come up by using that method, then disable the plugin. Then re-save the tagline you saved in your WP Admin dashboard. Clear your browser cache, and then look at the page source again and see what your tagline shows up as.

    If the tagline reads correctly with the plugin disabled, then it’s probably the plugin causing the issue – well at least that would be my first guess.

    That way you should be able to determine what the tagline is showing up as, and without it activated. You might have to temporarily also disable your blog cache to see the change take place right away while you’re testing, but then don’t forget to reactivate your blog cache thereafter.

    When i am using the visual to write my post the Link area is grey and i cant click on them.

    Maybe I misunderstand your problem, but maybe not?

    The link icon in the wysiwyg editor is grayed out until you highlight the text you wish to make into the anchor text for the link.

    If i then write in the link command it wont show in the final post.

    Perhaps you’re using the wrong codes?

    First off, out of curiosity, why would you want to import into WP 2.7.1? That version of WP has many vulnerabilities. You may want to consider updating WP to the newest version before you attempt to import posts. Just thought I might mention that.

    Thank you samboll,
    I bookmarked that link and will take a look at my alternatives.

    It might be a conflict with the theme. You might need to revert back to the default theme, test the areas that are a challenge and then reselect your desired theme, that is if the theme is compatible for 2.9.1. Also, with the contact form you may need to disable that plugin and re-enable it to see if that fixes the problem. There again, make sure the contact form plugin is compatible with 2.9.1.

    Did you try disabling the plugin and looking at your front end source code both before and after you disable the plugin to see what the tagline reads here?
    <div id="desc">Your Desired Tagline Here</div>

    Does anyone have another suggestion for how I could resolve my duplicate title tag issues? I found out that the All in One SEO pack will not work with my hosts server configuration, so I need another way to resolve this issue. (See the third post in this thread). Thanks.

    Hi Samboll,

    sorry – thought you understood better

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, but no, I know just enough to be dangerous with some things – lol. And, I’m also now wondering if I would run into the same server issue since it’s similar to what Ask Apache attempted to do, which as you know didn’t work for me. I guess I’ll probably have to try a plan B if there is one. Thanks for your help.

    When you create a new admin role user name, you can’t just change it from the admin panel. The user name must also match in your wp-config.php file and in mysql, otherwise you won’t be able to access your login. Did you change the user name from ‘admin’ to your new user name for the administrator in wp-config.php?

    Are you saying that you want to replace the ‘admin’ user with a different user name, other than ‘admin’, and assign that user (yourself, I assume) as the administrator role?

    Okay, I didn’t look close enough. It isn’t just your ‘read more’ link that’s a problem. It’s your permalinks. If you click on one of your blog post titles, you also get the same error.

    Did you move your blog directory? Your permalinks don’t work.
    You have your blog posts located here:
    http://victoriateaparty.com/updates

    But your blog posts permalinks are structured like this example:
    http://victoriateaparty.com/follow-up-meeting

    Did you by chance change to a different template, or check to see if your template is compatible with 2.9.2? I just tried it (Firefox browser), and as you say the ‘read more’ link didn’t work.

    You might need to try a different template and see if it resolves your problem.
