magic_quotes_gpc: ON

In reply to: EASY ??? edit: import-mt.phpI have cleaned out mysql including MT and my two blogs of WordPress;
then I uploaded and re-installed wordpress into an empty mysql
but then I have used or better
re-used the notpad file of my MT import.txt…
(originally exported via Netscape from MT)
and it brought back all these slahes //
and then typing into WordPress brought them back too…
is this file ‘import.txt’ corrupted? and should not be used again?
Now I have cleaned out once more mysql and removed all wordpress files and
will now also remove them from my computer
and will download a fresh copy of WordPress and re-install it.
Can anyone tell me where the problem is
and if I can use that ‘import.txt’ after a fresh install ?Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: EASY ??? edit: import-mt.phpNow do I have to uninstall both my wordpress blogs I have???

In reply to: EASY ??? edit: import-mt.phpNow if this is the answer for importing,
what is the answer when this occurs when I type new text on my even NEWER weblog:
what\’s this? \”word\â€? ?
Yes, I’ve installed another NEW weblog using a different prefix (‘b2_’)
but I have nothing imported nor will I …Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: EASY ??? edit: import-mt.phpWhile the importing succeeded, I notice,
wherever I used a quotation mark like “word”
this shows up in WordPress as /”word/”,
and can/’t and don/’t, and what/’s today/’s date…the rest is fine.
What can I do to correct this and then re-import my MT file?
Thank you!Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: EASY ??? edit: import-mt.phpYes, and I used Mozilla (Netscape) and used MT’s menu: import/export,
and copied the whole page into notepad and saved it as: import.txt
The rest is history -see above!Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: EASY ??? edit: import-mt.phpThanks for your reply!
Yes, I tried before
with / and then put it simply in the same folder
without /,
I WAS LOOKING HERE IN THE FILE import-mt.php
…
Look for the line that says:
define('MTEXPORT', 'import.txt');
and change it todefine('MTEXPORT', 'import.txt');
You have to do this manually for security reasons.
If you’ve done that and you’re all ready, let’s go!
…
that’s all I changed,
BUT IT WAS RIGHT IN THE VERY VERY FIRST LINE: inside this (‘MTEXPORT’,”)
<?php define(‘MTEXPORT’, ”); if (!file_exists(‘../wp-config.php’)) die(“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file.
….
THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED TOO :
<?php define(‘MTEXPORT’, ‘import.txt’);
if (!file_exists(‘../wp-config.php’)) die(“There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file.
…
that made it work soooo EASY to get all my MT entries into WordPress!
Thanks again!
