Joomla to Wordpress Import Wizard

- Description:
-
A script that allows users to import their Joomla content to Wordpress. This version of the script has been tested and works on all versions of Joomla between 1.0.12 - 1.5 and Wordpress 2.3.2 -2.7 and works pretty smoothly. So it should work with the latest versions of both CMS platforms!
Instructions:
- Unzip Joomla2WordPress.zip
- Edit config.php and enter all missing values
- Upload files to /export on your server
- Add Categories in wordpress which you want to import into
- Open www.yoursite.com/export/index.php on a browser
- Select either a Joomla Section, Category or Links Category
- Select a Wordpress Category to import into
- Repeat Steps 5-7 till all of your articles have been imported
- Enjoy and Spread the word!
Minor glitch: If you create a WP category which is empty (has no posts), the articles will import just fine, but the category may not appear in the categories widget until you open at least one post in that category in /wp-admin and just hit save. If anyone knows how to fix this minor bug, please contact the author.

I tried this and it kept giving errors. Looked promising though, thanks for the effort!

# Upload files to /export on your server
Where did you upload the files to? Can you just set up any folder and upload them and then have access to them to import into Wordpress?

Where do you upload the files to exactly, in order to be able to access them from Wordpress import feature?

Hi all, after some debugging I found that in order to have import works with WP 2.8, you have to modify index.php, line 379, from:
$query = "INSERT INTO ".$wptblprefix."posts (id, post_author, post_title, post_content, post_date, post_modified, post_name, post_category) VALUES ('', '$ID5', '{$import[1][$j]}', '{$import[2][$j]}', '{$import[3][$j]}', '{$import[4][$j]}', '$post_name', '$wpsection')";
to:
$query = "INSERT INTO ".$wptblprefix."posts (ID, post_author, post_title, post_content, post_date, post_modified, post_name) VALUES ('', '$ID5', '{$import[1][$j]}', '{$import[2][$j]}', '{$import[3][$j]}', '{$import[4][$j]}', '$post_name')";
This to take account of the differences in WP database structure in versions 2.7 and 2.8.
