Now you can test the SVN version with your old content/ directory.

First of all, checkout the latest trunk; now either

  • launch setup and then copy your old fp-content/content/ to this fresh copy, OR
  • copy your whole fp-content/ directory to the new location

at your choice, it shouldn’t be a problem (unless you have a pre-0.804 version ;))

Now get the source code of the importer from the wiki page and paste it to a file, say import.php; upload this file to your FP web root (usually http://yoursite.com/flatpress/)

  1. Login as usual through the web interface
  2. Browse to http://yoursite.com/flatpress/import.php
  3. Wait for the page to finish loading.
  4. ????
  5. PROFIT!

(the Internet meme really has only 4 points, but, since only a pair of you will get it, I don’t care :D)

have fun!
