P.S.Your links require authentication

Yes, I provided the login info in the first post.

I had tried to update the old site, but it won’t, that’s why I tried to start from scratch and then import the old posts.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

Are themes and answers displayed in the console?
Type of record when importing has not changed?

Unfortunately, I don’t understand the questions.

Just looking for the best way to get the data out of the old site, and onto the new one. If it helps, I have both old and new on the same server, but they use different databases.

A snapshot of the existing site cane be seen here http://vht.ronhiggins.com/
Same u/p as listed in the first post.

wdsrj_ – this seems to be Joomla? – they do not affect WP in any way

Thanks for that, I had no idea, I’ve dropped those tables, dunno why they were created to begin with.

If it helps, the structure of the db on the old site is:
wp_commentmeta
wp_comments
wp_links
wp_messages
wp_options
wp_pm
wp_postmeta
wp_posts
wp_PO_groups
wp_PO_post_plugins
wp_PO_url_plugins
wp_terms
wp_term_relationships
wp_term_taxonomy
wp_usermeta
wp_users

The structure of the db on the new site is wildly different for some reason:
wdsrj_assets
wdsrj_associations
wdsrj_banners
wdsrj_banner_clients
wdsrj_banner_tracks
wdsrj_categories
wdsrj_contact_details

Now all the counts are at zero after I run the “Recalculate the position of each reply” repair from under Tools->Forums. I suppose not too much is lost, since nothing was working any way….
