Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend take one of those text dumps of their 2.63 posts and import it into a fresh installation of 4.1. Their host just disappeared, but they at least have this text file, albeit some months out of date -- not bad, though, considering the blog goes back to 2002.
Can I import this file into a clean install of 4.1? I've been trying but it's not working and I want to make sure it's not just something I'm doing wrong. I took a small bit of this almost 5meg file to avoid timeout issues and get a message that the data has been imported, but I don't see any posts or authors created.
If not, what would be an approach I could use? Would I perhaps install an old version of MT (is so, where can I download it), import the file and then upgrade that database?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!
