    Yes, it worked ! after turning magic_quotes_runtime from ON to OFF
    The original import.txt also worked fine without any /

    “Here you can configure the most common settings of PHP such as register_globals and magic_quotes. You can also select a version of php for your site from the installed versions on the server.”
    magic_quotes_runtime OFF
    magic_quotes_gpc: ON
    register_globals: ON
    I changed ONLY the top to OFF
    I hope this is right-
    I uploaded yet another fresh copy and the slashes are gone !!!

    can I fix magic quotes myself via phpMyAdmin access?

    Fresh download, fresh install into an empty mysql
    and guess what?
    the slashes /”word/” what/’s etc/’s are still there…
    now what?
    uninstall and get the latest version of MT and forget about WordPress?

    I 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 ?

    Now do I have to uninstall both my wordpress blogs I have???
    clean out mysql and so on?
    both blogs show the same / with all the ‘s and the “word”
    and in all url’s that came with the imported file…

    Now 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 …

    While 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!

    Yes, 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!

    Thanks 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!
