OUT OF RESPONSABILITY
---------------------

This script is provided with a GPL license and is delivered "as is". It worked for our migration from LifeType to WordPress MU but I can't assure it will work in your own scenario. You will probably need to hack it a little bit to suit your expectations.


CREDITS
-------

We didn't make this script from the beginning, we just based on the script made by Dan Rooke - dan [at] sarzeau [dot] net to add the multi-blog and multi-user capabilities. We needed this to migrate our LifeType installation and its more thant 7000 posts, so we hacked the code.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL: TWEAKING WPMU
---------------------------------

Before you run your migration process you will probably need to tweak your WPMU installation so it can create as many blogs in a row as necessary. It is a known "bug" and can be solved thanks to these threads:

http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/394




INSTALL
--------

First of all edit the lifetype.php file and write your own domain name at line #382. Then upload it to your /wp-admin/import/ wordpress installation directory. Access to the WP Administration site and under Manage-Import you will find the script. Just click on it and follow the instructions.

Once it's traspassed you may find helpful these two line for your .htaccess file. It redirects all trafic to /get/ directories to another domain where old lifetype full installations remains:

RewriteRule ^get/(.+)$ http://old_server.com/get/$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^resserver(.+)$ http://old_server.com/resserver$1 [L,NC]



KNOWN PROBLEMS
--------------


The script sometimes may act weirdly, but iit works. In some cases I've found the situation that it can't be able to import any posts at all for no reason. When it happens, I just let the system rest for a few hours and when I'm back online it works nice. I know it's bizarre, but it did the job for me :-)

The posts import process can be very slow and sometimes it my crash. I don't know why it happens, but it does. So, if you find an error message just hit the reload button and it will continue in the last error.
