Serendipity Forums

First I want to thank Serendipity for making a Wordpress import function.

Having said that let me tell you how the import went. I used the latest smarty release. All the Wordpress entries and comments when through with no problem.

The problems are that all the entries are closed to comments. Would I have to go through each entry to open up comments?

The comment count doesn't recognize the WP comments.

When I open the entry to comments the spam plugin still blocks comments from being left. I've since turned off the pugin.

And for some reason in the version of IE I use at work it doesn't recognize the CSS.

This is by no means a complaint. I fully intend on switching to Serendipity as soon as I can resolve these issues.

The test install is at http://test.thetrenchcoat.com

Also it pinged every link that was posted. I've been getting hate mail from people receiving multiple pings on their blogs. Is there anyway to turn that off?

Thanks for reporting this! I'll forward this link to Evan, who wrote the code, and hope he'll get back to this topic.

We can definitely use your feedback to improve serendipity and its import code, thanks a lot!

But my IE6 does have no problems with your CSS code?

My Firefox at home doesn't either. I didn't check my IE at home. The work IE may be an older version. 5.0 maybe.

Thank you for the report! I'll fix these bugs over the weekend. If you want to enable comments on all entries, you can use this SQL:
It would probably be best to just wait for the fixes and try again, though.

Thanks, that did the trick for opening up the comments.

Sorry, that was me.
