WordPress

Welcome to WordPress. Since you're upgrading from b2 everything should be relatively familiar to you. Here are some notes on upgrading:

If you're using an older version of b2, it's probably a good idea to upgrade to at least .6.1 before making the leap to WordPress.
The templates are so much better, and there is so much more going on than before it's probably worth it to start from scratch and work back to your design.
You can keeep your b2config.php file if you want to, but it is very important that you take the last few lines from the WordPress and add those in, otherwise, nothing will work.
WordPress issues should be discussed in our support forums.
Back up your database before you do anything. Yes, you. Right now.

Have you looked at the readme? If you’re all ready, let's go!

Step 1

Okay first we’re going to set up the links database. This will allow you to host your own blogroll, complete with Weblogs.com updates.

Installing WP-Links.

Checking for tables...

\n"; } if (!$got_cats) { echo "

Can't find table '$tablelinkcategories', gonna create it...

\n"; $sql = "CREATE TABLE $tablelinkcategories ( " . " cat_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, " . " cat_name tinytext NOT NULL, ". " auto_toggle enum ('Y','N') NOT NULL default 'N', ". " PRIMARY KEY (cat_id) ". ") "; $result = mysql_query($sql) or print ("Can't create the table '$tablelinkcategories' in the database.
" . $sql . "
" . mysql_error()); if ($result != false) { echo "

Table '$tablelinkcategories' created OK

\n"; $got_cats = true; } } else { echo "

Found table '$tablelinkcategories', don't need to create it...

\n"; $got_cats = true; } if (!$got_links) { echo "

Can't find '$tablelinks', gonna create it...

\n"; $sql = "CREATE TABLE $tablelinks ( " . " link_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, " . " link_url varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', " . " link_name varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', " .

" link_updated DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00', " . " link_rel varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', " . " PRIMARY KEY (link_id) " . ") "; $result = mysql_query($sql) or print ("Can't create the table '$tablelinks' in the database.
" . $sql . "
" . mysql_error()); $links = mysql_query("INSERT INTO b2links VALUES ('', 'http://wordpress.org', 'WordPress', '', '', 1, '', 'Y', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '');"); $links = mysql_query("INSERT INTO b2links VALUES ('', 'http://cafelog.com', 'b2', '', '', 1, '', 'Y', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '');"); $links = mysql_query("INSERT INTO b2links VALUES ('', 'http://photomatt.net', 'Matt', '', '', 1, '', 'Y', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '');"); $links = mysql_query("INSERT INTO b2links VALUES ('', 'http://zed1.com/b2/', 'Mike', '', '', 1, '', 'Y', 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '');"); if ($result != false) { echo "

Table '$tablelinks' created OK

\n"; $got_links = true; } } else { echo "

Found table '$tablelinks', don't need to create it...

\n"; $got_links = true; } if ($got_links && $got_cats) { echo "

Looking for category 1...

\n"; $sql = "SELECT * FROM $tablelinkcategories WHERE cat_id=1 "; $result = mysql_query($sql) or print ("Can't query '$tablelinkcategories'.
" . $sql . "
" . mysql_error()); if ($result != false) { if ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { echo "

You have at least 1 category. Good!

\n"; $got_row = true; } else { echo "

Gonna insert category 1...

\n"; $sql = "INSERT INTO $tablelinkcategories (cat_id, cat_name) VALUES (1, 'General')"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or print ("Can't query insert category.
" . $sql . "
" . mysql_error()); if ($result != false) { echo "

Inserted category Ok

\n"; $got_row = true; } } } } if ($got_row) { echo "

All done!

\n"; } ?>

Did you defeat the boss monster at the end? Good, then you’re ready for Step 2.

Step 2

First we’re going to add excerpt functionality...

That went well! Now let's clean up the b2 database structure a bit...

One down, two to go...

Almost there...

All done!

Don't forget to CHMOD the weblogs.com.changes.cache file and you'll be A-okay. Welcome to the family.
