importing using phpmySQL

^^ this.

You need to export the data from one phpMyAdmin, edit the file it spits out to remove the ID column and then import it into the other database via phpMyAdmin again.

I’ve never used the Txp import facility but assumed since your existing DB was already Textpattermn you wouldn’t be doing that since it doesn’t support Txp -> Txp imports.

Note to self: why the hell don’t we have a facility to import data from another Textpattern installation on the Admin->Import panel?

It’s hacky, but I’ve done this before:

1. Use this to make a Wordpress backup.
2. Use the Wordpress import tool.
3. Feel a bit dirty.
4. ?
5. Profit.
