Thanks so much for this plugin. I uploaded it to my plugins directory and changed permissions to 777 but it still doesn’t show up in my plugins list in WP. I have uploaded other plugins and they worked fine. If I try to run it I get the following:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: register_importer() in /home/glenmohr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/blogware.php on line 189

Any suggestions?

[...] I’ve also managed to export all of my old Blogware posts and comments to WordPress thanks to a script (Blogware Input Plugin For WordPress) that Chris Pirillo and Shayne put together. It seems to have worked ok first time, but please let me know if you see any errors (some of the formatting looks out) on the blog. The good thing about the script is that it doesn’t create (I think!) any duplicates, so I’m going to keep running it until this version of my blog finally disappears to ensure that no comments or posts or lost, so feel free to continue leaving comments on either this blog or the new WordPress site.

Chris,
Your awesome, man. It took me about 15 minutes to transport all of my posts with that pluggin. I’ve still gotta grab files and some code, but the posts were what I was most worried about.

I still like blogware, but once your traffic gets a certain size, its seems a bit detrimental (i.e. “You have exceeded your limit..”).

[...] I’ve posted and cross referenced a bit, and it will be only a slight inconvenience to have some interrupted flow of content, but I’m not really stressing about it. There are thousands of posts on the old site, and they will just sit there. They are, after all, indexed and linked and I don’t really want to break those. (Pirillo wrote a GREAT post on how to import from Blogware to WordPress, but I’m lazy and well, also, busy. I could hire someone to do it, but I should be hiring a producer for my show– that’s more important. I digress) [...]

You inspired me to make the move from Blogware to WP and I managed to get the import tool to work ok in terms of inputting old posts and comments, but I have one big problem with the permalinks. How do I get wordpress to put ’1998449.html’ on the end rather than ’895′? The ’1998449.html’ bit doesn’t seem to be in my export file, so how did you crack it? Thanks in advance for any tips.

with trying to import all my old posts from Blogware into a local WordPress install. Well, I finally managed to get it sorted, sort of. The Blogware import script, written by Shayne Sweeney, that I had found via Chris Pirillo didn’t seem to work. Every time I tried to use it, it just… did nothing. Kevin Marks had a look at it and my Blogware XML file, and suggested that I try importing it in smaller chunks. The Blogware XML indicates individual blog posts with
